Over Did It...

Today was a great day until...I over did it :( After work I picked up Johnny from school, took him to get his hair cut, then drove back over to the school to pick up his buddy who has a 6th period (which Johnny does not) and took them both back to our house to work on a project together. As soon as I pulled into the driveway Jordan called to be picked up from school and wondered if I could please drive her friend home too. Since Ashley's dad is always doing us favors, I didn't mind doing this for him. We finally get home and watch the rest of the Giants game (all I can say is YAHOO!!!) and before I collapse for the evening I think about how much our dog Sammy is driving me crazy as she wants in, then out, then in, then out, etc. So I mustered up some energy and asked Jordan to accompany me to Lowe's, to look for a dog door. Sure enough, we find one, we get it loaded into the van and we head home. My back was starting to send out a warning, as it began to throb. Oh no, had I over done it? I barely got back into the house before I almost collapsed...literally. I took 2 percocets and called it a day. I really shouldn't have done so much running around, but it was really the walking that made my back hurt so much. Why did the dog door have to be all the way in the back of the gigantic store?! Dang.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I managed to get a HUGE sore on my tongue the other day. It was not a pretty sight. I called the chemo nurse and she suggested Magic Mouthwash. She said that it would probably get worse before it got better...lovely. However, it actually didn't. I was all over the mouthwash, using it every 6 hours as prescribed and it has completely cleared up :) I'm so happy because it was really ugly. For those who have never heard of Magic Mouthwash, it's a wonderful thing. The bottle has no ingredients listed and it's used for patients on chemo. I've learned to acquire a taste for this medicine over time because it was NASTY at first and I could hardly handle it. Maybe now that I know how well it works, makes me want to take it...who knows.

Anyway, hope all is well with each of you :) Have a great evening.

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
