Little update

I continue to do pretty well with the new kind of chemo. There is a little joint pain (this is normal), I have some nerve stuff on my right hand pinkie from video games, and I've been feeling that lately, but that's pretty normal for me (especially when I'm on my phone too much). I've got an appointment with my occupational therapist tomorrow morning, because she wanted to check in since I'm still pretty new to the taxol, and then I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow afternoon to talk about my eventual mastectomy. 

It was very hot here this weekend, so I mostly stayed inside and took it easy. Made some nice food, watched some TV. Taxol continues to affect my sleepiness, in that I don't get tired, but I can go to sleep if I make a point of getting to bed at a reasonable time and not checking my phone. It's not too bad. It reminds me of the effect that chemo has had on my appetite. I'm neither hungry nor sleepy, but I can eat and I can sleep, and I feel refreshed by doing both. This feels like a big win. I know that this isn't the case for everyone.

Overall I want to try to spend less time staring at my phone generally, more time engaged with the world (or at least using a computer because that's easier on my hands).
