Did I mention that I had nerve damage in my hands and feet. This morning I woke up and my right hand was numb. Three of my fingers felt better after a while. Two of them were like that until about 1:00p.m. I phoned the hospital at 9:00a.m. and they said it was part of the nerve damaged caused by the stronger of the two chemo drugs. I'm off that one at the moment but the damage may take up to a year to be repaired by my body. I must admit to having a little cry but it was just a momentary lapse. I am positive about this treatment and I know I'll get better but I think that I'm allowed a little wobble once in a while.
My department took me out for lunch. We had a professional development day so we actually had an hour to eat. It was really nice to be able to go out and talk with them out of the school environment. However, school did seem to dominate the conversation.

Will you wince if I type, "That nerve damage must be unnerving."? When your hand is numb, as it was this morning, do you have any use of it? That must be scary. It is amazing how nerves repair themselves of course, never as quickly as we'd like. Out for lunch with your department, sounds like fun...even if all the talk was of school.
Did you see that Bush has given himself a new title, "Decision Maker." Can't you imagine what the humourists will do with that?
I do know that the nerve damage will go eventually and it only bothers me once in a while. However, it is disconcerting and sometimes demoralizing. About George, what can any of us say! The decision maker! It brings too much to mind!
