2 for 1

I did not get around to writing anything yesterday, I have been pretty tired the last couple of days.  Robby and Shelley came out for dinner on Thursday and so we were busy all evening and by the time they left, I was exhausted and went straight to bed (after doing my fluoride treatment, of course).  I have been taking the nausea pills every eight hours as they instructed me and that seems to control it pretty well thus far.  The pill bottle does have a warning about the medicine possibly causing headaches, and in my case I would say that it definitely does cause them.  I guess I can choose between being nauseous or having a raging headache.  At this point I will go with the headache.
I did get some pictures of me laid out on the machine on Thursday, and I will include them with this entry.  The treatments yesterday and today were uneventful, I am usually on the table by 8:30 and in my truck now by 9:05 am.  The MD facility where I am having my treatments has this bell hanging in the hallway and each person undergoing treatment gets to ring the bell on the last day after their last treatment for all to hear.  I have seen one lady ring it, I think on my very first day and then today another guy got to ring it.  It must be such a relief to complete the course of treatment and finally get to that point and  am sure that it must feel good to do it.
I think my taste may be starting to fade now.  Everything I have eaten today has seemed bland and somewhat tasteless, but I am getting more sensitive to the temperature of food.  I had a great appetite for the majority of today, so I am still eating when I feel like it, there is just not as much enjoyment with it as I don't experience my usual taste sensations.  My mouth is also beginning to dry out more and more and the left side of my throat is definitely starting to bother me.  Things are definitely changing inside my mouth, so I need to make sure that I really stay on top of my mouth care.  Overall, I still fell decent but today I was just plain tired.  I woke up feeling tired and it continued throughout the day and when I got home from work, I went straight to my bed and took a nap.  I am definitely looking forward to not having to go in for treatments over the weekend and hopefully feeling a little better as well.
As of right now, I just made this blog public.  That means no need to log in or need for gmail accounts, it is now accessible to anyone.  The main reason for that is to try out the follow by email gadget that is now located in the upper right corner of the blog.  In theory, you can enter your email address in that box and click submit and you will get a notification email whenever I add new posts.  I have yet to try it to verify that it works, but that is the theory behind it.
