Felt much better today, though still nowhere near 100%. I was able to get out and go to my parents' house (twice), as well as stop by Dana's parents' house. Still pretty weak, but no headaches, and not lightheaded. I didn't need naps throughout the day, and was able to do a little bit of work, and play poker for a couple of hours.
I have however noticed some "areas of interest" in my mouth. One of the side effects of chemotherapy is sores in the mouth. I had a severe problem with canker sores in high school, but I stopped drinking soda, and that made the problem go away. Well, I still vividly remember the feeling in my mouth when the sores were starting to develop, and I have that feeling on the inside of my lower lip. I'm rinsing my mouth with water and baking soda, as well as with "Biotine", a medicated mouth rinse recommended by the chemotherapy nurse. Hopefully that will stem the tide.
In the evening, I flipped back and forth between the Pistons/Cavaliers game, and the Tigers/Indians game. Unfortunately, both the Pistons and the Tigers lost. LeBron James took over the game for the Cavaliers. The fadeaway three he made with two minutes left was just sick, and the jumper over Rip Hamilton with 16 seconds left was a dagger. LeBron and the Cavs remind me of Jordan and the Bulls in 1990. I expect the Pistons to win this series, but I'm going to predict that Cleveland wins the NBA Title in 2008. You heard it here first!

That's the link I was telling you about at lunch.
Best wishes with the nausea.
I hope you won't be too hard on yourself for not getting a ton done. I mean, it is totally understandable. Maybe the next time you are bound to the couch, you could watch a season of 24. I'm sure that would make the time zoom by :)
So does Cleveland suck twice now........
Cleveland ROCKS!!
