Am I complanin' or explainin'?

Side Effects

I never thought I'd have a "comb over" :) I am very close and maybe it is already there and I just can't admit it. :) I am more like a little old man than I knew. :):)  I have one eye of eyelashes that is long and nice and one eye that is about 1/8th of an inch long and curly.  What is up with that?  It is very attractive. :)  Sometimes I have sticky stuff leak from my eyes.    My toes feel like hobbit toes (I assume their toes feel fat, spongy, and stingy-like :):)). (Thank you chemo induced neuropathy.)  Reaching in the fridge or freezer often requires gloves since effects of the sensation of cold is seriously heightened.  It is hard to explain really how my hands and mouth and tongue feel.  Sort of like my feet only not quite as hobbit-like I guess.  I lose my balance a lot but the Dr. says I just need more hydration to fix that.  Places on my skin have turned grey.  The Vietnamese girl who gave me a pedicure this week tried to scrub the discoloration off the bottom of my feet, thinking it was dirt ground in.  Luckily she spoke enough English so I could explain.  I have the discoloration even on parts of my face.  Age spots are part of the fun as well.  Thank goodness for make-up.   My sense of taste is distorted much of the time or I can't really taste at all. The nurse promised me the sense of taste issue is one side effect that will eventually permanently go away.  Others might as well.  Some of these things start to remedy themselves as the second non chemo week rolls around. Even the extreme fatigue lightens up a bit a few days before the next treatment. I have been so blessed  I suppose I should not be comp...., I mean explainin' so much. :)   I only have one more chemo after today and  then I can start to heal from these things.
 I think I need a good bike ride after that.  :):)
