h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am... apparently....

well, so Sir just said....

I think. yes, despite it just being one word, in An E-mail.... yes, I think I detect sarcasm or... maybe not....

was having a series of hot flushes tonight... <wah. and, decided I'd have a cold beer from the fridge... a Guinness

It tasted horrible. more accurately, it didn't taste like Guinness. It didn't, basically, taste like a beer I'd drink, and, the 'feel' in particular was so just not right...

I very much doubt it was anything wrong with the beer... Rather its something wrong with my mouth... - namely Dacarbazine working its magic, and upsetting things in my mouth oh well... no more beer for a while... hopefully it won't affect the feel/taste of food, or other things... too much. - oo, maybe its partly the thing with my not getting 'bitter' of late, hence why I've relaly not got a taste for coffee any more...

Oh well... I'm sure tea is still OK so... so long as ther eis

well. everything tasted. and 'mouth felt', right today. perfectly normal. tea all made the right colours in my head. just the coffee still not tasting right; that is, I think mor ea change in my sense of tste full stop; probably, if anything, as likely to be related to having quit smoking, more than anything else; the really strong, bitter, tast eof coffee; which for so many years, err, like two decades, has been my mainstay... just isn't 'right' no more of course chemo may be affecting that too; but really now, I'm now a tea drinker; well, for the time being.

until.

approx the same time this evening; today, it was after I'd bathed.... mouth felt 'odd'... . went downstairs, to get a drink of water feels all wrong.... <weird. tried some smoothy.... tasted all wrong

not hear dof it being a time dependant affect, before, for the dacarbazin.... shall raise that thursday, at Clinic with the consultant, who called me a drama queen

hmm. list of things getting longer to mention this time.

including several side affects, all of which are as much as anything likely to be related to the steroids, for addison's rahte rthan the chemo drugs, per sai...

and... the loverly consultant will almost certainly have to ... physically examine me.... - I'll try behave... honstly though it might be tricky... given... some of the areas she'll need to examine oh... well... I don't do embarasment.... lettuce just hope she doesn't.... I'd imagine not., TBH
