Another Dex inspired blog tonight

I started round 3 last night and I also remembered to take my Dex to help the daily poison work better, so I slept good last night and had good energy today and of course don't know what to do with myself tonight. I'm hoping I getting use to the Pomalyst for this round that might reduce some of the side effects that I have been dealing with before. I forgot to take my Dex last week, but don't really know if I should be taking it when I'm on break. I ask Dr. Te once and he said it was OK to take, but if it's not in conjunction with the Pomalyst don't really know what the benefits would be. I'll have to look into it better. A couple of weeks ago, my mouth was on fire, I've had so many sore throats and coughs that it took me a while to figure out that this was something different, so I finally called my dentist Dr. Kintonis to ask for a refill on the prescription mouth wash that he gave me when I was going through chemo before to fight off mouth sores - it worked very well before. I started taking it during the last part of my 2nd round and I think it is going to help. During the break, the burning went away so of course I forgot to take it all the time, but I imagine that over the next week the burning will try to come back and I will remember it a lot better. Patty and I had a pretty quiet weekend, we went to a movie on Friday and went to lunch and shopping on Monday and in between did some good resting that helped do the other stuff. Amanda, Ryan and Holden took off last Wednesday along with my ATVs for a trip to Moab with their friends Walt and Lexi. They had a very good time and made it home on Sunday to see Amanda's friend that was here from Minnesota. Josh got out of town for a couple of days and stayed in Coral Canyon. He took Addie and they had some good Hikes. Not too much else going on, we have a good group of care givers coming in to help us with Patty these days and a couple or three evenings. It is really helpful for me, I feel very lazy but there are nights that I just can't do the physical things that have to happen, especially when she is having trouble with her passing out which seems to come and go a little more that a couple of weeks ago when she was passing out a lot more that normal. Many thanks to Ameila, Cora and Patricia and to Amanda and Josh for helping us find them. Currenly I don't have to go to St. George to see Dr. Te until June 12th when I'll be getting my Zometa again and get the results of the blood testing I will be getting on June 6th so all the tests will be done when I get to Dr. Te's Office. Well, I've ran out of things to ramble about, so I'll quit for now, until next time, we hope every thing is good for you. until next time.
