BLOG!
well, i'm still radioactive. doctors said that radiation might cause some inflammation of my esophagus and make swallowing foods/drinks a little difficult cuz i'll constantly feel sore, but i've had absolutely no problems with soreness.
instead, i feel like i'm goin thru chemo again cuz i keep alternating between bouts of pain or nausea, back and forth (i'm in pain now). its either aggravating chest pains that make it painful to breathe, laugh, or generally move my torso OR weeklong periods of nonstop puking (never knew the taste of water could trigger puking till now) causing me to need "massive rehydration" and missing out on a friend's wedding and general social outings.
SHOULD only be in radiation for a little over a week... then i start my 2yrs of maintenance, so yea
besides all that, i'm getting all nice & hairy again! i like having hair, especially facial hair... and eyebrows! but my scalp hair is weird. the texture's all different. it's all soft, fuzzy... and straight! i've lost my nappy hair! everyone says my hair looks like its growing in all asian-like. it's actually growing super slow and my normal hair tends to grow fast. i suspect that it's just weird "chemo" hair or something and will probably will fall out and get replaced by the nappy stuff.
i'm keepin busy with workin on an animated short, new art for my portfolio, freelance web stuff with my cousin, watching LOTS of movies and "guilty pleasure" reality shows, and finally hitting the gym again.
any other update type stuff? not that i can think of... so.... bye!
