Re: From Trisha/HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRL!!

[Guest guest]

I hope you meant this is the last birthday.......before I get Social

Security. Maybe I didn't read it right.

Anyway, I have to tell you that I am also very tired. Just before I

left to have Bday lunch with a friend, I had very bad diarrhea.

Caled the dr. office. I had taken Immodium AD - two pills as soon

as it happened. Definitely due to the chemo. The Infusion nurse

said to take one pill every two hours, for twelve hrs until I am o.k.

It's helping a lot but boy, have I been dizzy and tired. Don't

know if I will be able to drive to get my haircut tomorrow

morning. Will see when I wake up. And my mouth is on the verge of

getting overall sores. Biotene works the best for mouthwash. Glad

the nurse told me about that.

I am really thinking strongly about getting it shaved........first a

Mohawk, then painting it green (for St Paddy's day) and eventually

shaving it myself.

Don't know about this but I will have pictures if I do it. And I'll

post them.
