A good punch recipe, and a sore thumb report.
And here's the long
Yesterday at the reception for Dr. Carver, they were serving a punch that is one of the few things that's really tasted good to me in months. I asked for the recipe and so I thought I'd share it. Maybe it will be good to people with regular taste as well.
1 part ginger ale
1 part 7-Up
1 part white grape peach juice
Well, that's it! I decided to buy the ginger ale and 7-Up in small bottles instead of the 2 liter ones so I could just make a little at a time. Sometimes something that tastes good stops tasting good, so I'm hoping this one will taste good for awhile.
I had a pretty good day at work. I had a meeting in a school for the first time in a long time. It felt good to be out in my "old world". I'm still awfully tired all the time - it's especially noticeable when I do any level of exertion like walking up steps. I have started trying to walk around the circle (at a slow speed) a couple of times. I get Sophie out so she gets a chance to run around and it makes her a little calmer and I'm guessing it must be helping me a little too.
My neuropathy is about the same. A new development is a cut on the end of my thumb. I didn't really know I had it until Saturday night when we went out to eat. When I squeezed the lemon into my water, I felt my thumb just sting like all get out! I looked and there was a cut right on the end of it that I hadn't even felt because of the neuropathy. Last night it was sore and throbbing so much I had to take some ibuprofen to get to sleep, and this morning it was all swollen. I called my onc nurse and she had me take a picture of it and e-mail it to her! I thought that was so great. I didn't hear from her so I guess it will be fine with anti-biotic ointment and a band-aid and ibuprofen for the pain until I go in on Wednesday for my treatment.
I have one more day of work, then I'm off for the Thanksgiving Holiday break until the next Monday; I'm looking forward to some Turkey!
