Medical: Physically well, Mentally scattered

Maybe it is the hyperness of the steriods, or maybe I'm just bored, but my blogging output seems an interesting reflection of the fact that I'm physically pretty well off. My only complaints:

• Gums seem itchy, but I'm on an elaborate 4-times a day regimine of sodium flouride gel, a 2-part rinse, and an anti-fungal tablet (to prevent thrush, a fungal infection typically seen in nursing babies that's otherwise hard to fight)
• Constipated. The anti-nausea Zofran, key during chemo, but very constipating, is always way ahead of the Colace, Miralax, and Senna coctail they give me. As they'd say in the olden days, "I feel my bowels are in uproar"
• Agitated & Tired. Probably the steriods and so far I've refused the sedative.

Right now I'm supposed to be sleeping (early) as the hour-long last chemo of the day goes in (a second dose of Ara-C (Cytarabine), but I realized that I han't brushed my teeth and that only after waiting 30 minutes post-rinse could I take my anti-fungal and go to bed for real.
