Whoa.......
It was cool morning here on the Mountain but I didn't think anything of it as I walked Maggie out to the School Bus. Returning to the house I grabbed the door knob, with no warning "painful electric pricks" shot from my fingers down my arm.
I can now join the ninety five percent of Oxaliplatin recipients who experience this sensation . Hopefully I'll be able to hold off on full blown neuropathy for at least a few more treatments. I'm experimenting with the FSTS (Shocking First Taste Syndrome). Last night I, in multiple steps, I was able to handle increasing strengths of diluted orange juice until, drum roll .......... with no water added I avoided the sensation. It worked with coffee this morning but not with the hash brown. I'll take the discomfort rather then blend up my hash brown.
Last night Sue and I had a quiet thirty year wedding anniversary. To our surprise Maggie had found a lot of old pictures of Sue and I, spanning our dating and early baby years. These were laid out on the dining room table for us to enjoy. It was the highlight of the evening.
Later ...... Mike
