I think I’m growing a tail

Week 5 day 3 *Hump Day* (4/6/22)

This may explain the changes to the skin above the crack of my ass. I’m growing a tail. Not a tall tale like I spun about a week ago, but the results of 5 1/2 weeks of gamma radiation. A colostomy bag doesn’t sound too bad if I get a tail with it!

Chemo-sickness. They warned me it would be worse this time around. Man were they right. Day one I took it no problem. Day 2 the nausea and diarrhea. Day 3 today the mouth sores. These sores are worse then round 1. They’ve all centered around my tonsils and it hurts to swallow. *That’s what she said!* . Anyways random interruption thing that I refer to as ADHD, this part blows.

Cha cha cha is in full effect. I had an accident on my way to the toilet this morning. It was manageable to clean up. But regardless how angry you are at me Mr Butt Hole you still haven’t gotten me while I’m sleeping! #Winning!

This box comes off Friday morning. Fri-yay! I’ll repeat Rebecca Black on loop for 3 hours because I know how much my children love that song . And once Friday has passed I’ll be down to my last week of radiation. That light at the end of the tunnel draws near.

My medications have tripled. I’m one of the rare 1% that is threatened by heart attack due to this particular type of chemotherapy. I have medicine to help navigate that though so don’t worry. I shake now so I can probably pull off a legit handshake with Michael J Fox. We’ll grab this guy from Brittany’s and Go Back To The Future.

And that about sums this update up. It’s a trying time but I’ve been trying MFers since day one so this is nothing new to me. I’m still making it through this. “Unbreakable, what, you thought they'd call me Mr. Glass?” Kanye West, Through The Wire. 2004. I’ll be here for the 20 year celebration of that song.
