Cha Bu missing her daily walk.
Stayed most of the day on the sofa. Didn't walk the dogs. Did let them out into the back yard a couple of times. My throat hurts a little more than usual. Taking more pain meds and more often.
Today I ingested 712 calories, 40 grams of protein and 18 ounces of water.
I expect to feel better tomorrow and will increase my calories at least up to 800.
I'll be honest and I think many have had similar experiences. The worst I felt was the first week after radiation. My doc says you're basically still cooking...like the sizzle of a dinner after you take it out of the microwave. Things got a little better the second week but it was frustrating how slow the process was. I finally had my first sip of coffee today (slightly warm but delicious!), a little more than three weeks after radiation. There are other signs of improvement too. Upward and onward!
