Well, the pressure in the tank is 2.5 times normal, and it just affects far vision -- I can still read and sew perfectly. Today i saw my doctor and he said the first wound is just about healed; this was to be the final EpiFix for that one. The other, smaller area has a ways to go, but it's looking much improved, too.
All my other sundry side effects are going away. The hair is still skimpy, and it's typical after-chemo hair...goofy little curls that stick out in all the wrong directions. And my taste buds! Everything tastes wonderful, which can get dangerous. Energy levels are great, too. I'm just dying for this treatment to be over so that I can have normal days again. Six more left.
Thanks for checking in!
