I have pushed myself a bit further again today, we went out this morning and took the youngest two out down town. I braved the barbers to get my hair cut figuring that it would be my last chance before starting the treatments (and then I would most likely not feel like it). I felt a bit less self concious about being out and about today, not sure why. Perhaps I am accepting the scars and the way I sound a little more.
It did wear me out a bit, not sure why, I ended up sitting in the car whilst the wife finished shopping - things seem to catch up with me at odd moments, I had a headache too so perhaps I just hadn't eaten enough. Speaking of which, I realised today that for some reason I have gotten it into my head that I need to favour the right side of my mouth when eating or drinking. Of course this is the side that I had the tumour in - so this is the side without sensation or movement. it might explain why I have found it difficult to eat at times, logically I should have had more problems drinking than I have had, unless this is something I have started doing more recently. I don't think it is.
I went out with the kids on the bikes today too, I was rather shocked to find that a play area they liked to use on the other side of the village had been torn down and replaced with a much smaller one and a basketball/football court. Most disappointed as the old play area had a zip wire the kids used to like. They still enjoyed the play area mind you. I was also pleased that we covered a couple of miles on the bikes and it was the kids that wore out before I did.
Most pleased :-)
