Thanks so much for asking Kate! I've been pretty good. Working every day and not feeling so bad at all - just tired by the time I come home so I've been skipping the discussion boards and heading for bed early while the rest of the clan clean up after dinner (gotta be some perks, right?). I've just logged in to 120 notification! Will look forward to catching up over the weekend.
I've just got that 'out of body' feeling most of the day - sort of like really bad jet lag and my daughter cooked fish for dinner last night which totally permeated the house but I only realised that when I was wide awake in the middle of the night smelling fish! Opening the window (and freezing but living) was my saviour. Also my teeth feel weird and my tongue feels 'coated' - all stuff other people have talked about. I'm also feeling every edge of my expanders this week - weird - my plastic surgeon said that the chemo wouldn't have any effect on those - maybe he's wrong - it's almost as if I'm very acutely aware of lots more bits of my body. Hypersensitive maybe?
