I have noticed since the last couple of chemo sessions, that I feel fine the day afterwards. I do things, even, like translations or trying to design our new kitchen. This lasts for 2 or 3 days and then I start to go downhill. At least I have hope that one day I may actually do some chores around the house. And that they won't feel like chores.
Yesterday the nurse asked why I was wearing my moon boots. "They're the only shoes I can get into," I said. "And now my hands and face are affected, too." My face, so far, just has a few red blotches, but I anticipate the day when I won't be able to go anywhere without a veil.
She took one look at my hands and went to find the doctor. I now have two types of cortisone creams, one for my hands and feet and one for my face.
Whatever happened to white gloves now that I need them?
Somebody gave me a pair of shiny leopard print gloves for Christmas...much more practical than white ones!
