Almost There...

Well, possibly tomorrow is my last day of treatment; that is, if they don't mess up this time. I know they are at least doing SOMETHING to me, because my esophagus is killing me! I am on Vicodin for it. Vicodin is actually sort of fun, but it makes me drowsy and still doesn't take away all of the pain. It hurts just to drink water, especially when I take a large gulp. Let me start with my pains from the feet up:

- I stepped on a hammer the other day and I have a cut on the bottom of my foot that hurts when I walk
- My hip hurts from the old tumor business
- my lower abdomen feels upset and it is growling at me
- my middle abdomen feels empty, like when you are really hungry (because I can't really eat)
- my upper abdomen hurts like a madman, especially when I swallow
- that pain then spreads to my whole chest when I breathe
- every once in a while some acid comes up my esophagus and creates a small forest fire in my throat
- the back of my mouth hurts and sort of waters from the pain from the esophagus
- I have nausea from a combination of all of those things

I am still coaching though! It helps to keep my mind off the pain of cancer and on the pain of watching my team play muahahaha. Just kidding.
