This post is more for my benefit to keep track of symptoms than to update anyone, but others dealing with chemo may find it helpful as well.
Yesterday I had the occasional feeling of "broken glass" in my throat when I drank room temperature water and washing my hands felt funny. It wasn't painful but the water definitely felt colder than it was. The biggest issue I had, starting last night was a pain in my cheeks when I tried to eat. It was like eating something severely sour that hurt my cheeks so badly I had to apply pressure to them to finish chewing whatever I took a bite of. The first bite was a brownie so I thought it had too much sugar but then I tried with a piece of bread also and the same thing happened. This morning I was able to eat some lasagna with little issue (which I find odd due to acidity in the sauce, though there wasn't much sauce). I also had no problem with a mozzarella string cheese but dry golden Graham's were very painful.
Otherwise, I am pretty worn out right now. Too tired to make my trip to Vera Bradley,so that's pretty tired. I'm assuming the steroid has worn off and I'm feeling the effect of that. I usually can't nap during the day but I'm going to try. This is my last weekday of my maternity leave- back to work Monday....yawn.
