Close to normal

You know I'm feeling better when all I want to do is go Karaoke!

I realized today that I have felt the closest to normal today than any other day since I was diagnosed.  I am not as tired and I've had no nausea and have not had to eat every 2-3 hours, it's funny to say but I'm even used to the numbness in my side and arm, making it feel "normal."  My spirits are very good and I have wanted to do things.  I had brunch with Sandy before she left to visit her sister and new niece.  I came home and cleaned, got ready to spend the next few days cat sitting for Sandy while she's out of town.  I'm excited about going out to dinner with Sujin and Nastaran.

The best thing about feeling "normal" is that things are tasting better too.  After my first treatment, I noticed that I had a constant funny taste in my mouth; everything I ate and drank just didn't taste the way I remembered.  I haven't wanted to drink coffee or diet cokes because they didn't taste the same.  Today I actually wanted coffee and when I had it, it tasted like coffee!!!  Even my diet coke tasted right! :D

Ah, the simple pleasures of life!  I am so grateful for the last couple of days which when compared to a couple of weeks ago have been really good.  I am excited about this week because I have a feeling this feeling of "normal" will last until my next treatment next Wednesday.  I am planning to take advantage of these next great days!   Who's free to go Karaoke?! ;)
