I have had about 5 colds since treatment. I don't feel strong and it seems like I just catch anything and everything. Today I started having that 'scratchy' feeling in my throat and tonight it feels worse. I am doing o.k and go about my 'daily' stuff but I don't FEEL strong or healthy. My ear is still ringing (they were hoping this would go away at 2 months and I am going on month 3), I get weird sensations on the right side of my face, I have that AWFUL metal taste in my mouth and I still get bouts of nausea. I had some bloodwork done last week and my iron is low. I guess that can explain me feeling like I am just 'dragging' lately but I am sure I still need to give it time. It hasn't been that long AND my tumor is supposed to swell post radiation so I am sure I am going to feel symptoms from that. This morning I woke up and couldn't hear out of my right ear......it took about 10 minutes trying to pop my right ear and it finally cleared. Freaked me out for those 10 minutes but then it was o.k.
So, should I complain more? Smile. Really, I can't complain.....all these things are just more of a pain than anything. Can I live with it? Of course. Will they go away? Hopefully. And if they don't, I'll get over it. Things could be worse.
Life is crazy busy. Trying to balance work & family is hard. I don't know how people do it with more than two kids! Egads!
Chris and I just had our b-days and he got me tickets to the Black Eyed Peas. My FAVORITE song ("I gotta feeling") was the last song they sang. It was a great concert but of course, I was exhausted and all that noise made the ringing in my ear 100 times worse. It finally calmed down after a few days - it was worth it. :) Thanks hubby for the tickets!
Not much else to write....kind of a boring entry but I just wanted to let you all know I am still here and just waiting for my MRI in about 3 weeks! This last weekend was nice.....I love Easter and on Sunday, me and the babies went to church (Chris had to work). It was a really nice service. Made me really think about my relationship with God and that I have a lot more work to do in 'that area.' Music was nice and about 30 people accepted Christ into their life. It was pretty cool.

"The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination."- Don Williams Jr.
So true. It's the journey that shapes us and makes us who we are.
Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! :)
Night!
Ugh. I'm frustrated for you and feel for you, nothing worse than being sick plus everything else you're dealing with. It's so easy to say take time out for yourself and try to relax, but much much harder to do.
