If I stay absolutely still, nothing hurts much.
It also helps if you remember to take your ibuprofen on time.
I forgot a whole dose, and whimpered around miserably all afternoon, wondering how I was going to survive a week of chemo effects and 7 more rad zaps.
I keep a log of what meds I've taken when, and lo and behold, the afternoon dose of ibuprofen wasn't there.
So now, I feel a lil' bit perkier.
But there is absolutely nothing you can do with mouth sores, except endure them.
Thanks again for all your good wishes, prayers, and offers for help, and for your newsy emails. Keep those coming! I'm not up to answering them all at present, but I do appreciate them very much!
I'm not really wanting visitors now because the mouth sores hurt to talk, (and so does my brain, to a lesser extent) and I have bought ahead on food and supplies. I am managing minimal activities of daily living. The hardest, as we just saw, is keeping track of the meds. The cat gets cared for, and I eat (sort of), drink, and take meds. For today, all needs are met!
Thanks be to God.
