my tongue is sore.

I've adopted an attitude of "What now?" about my body after treatment, but not in a grimace sort of way. More like morbid curiosity. I have to laugh, or I would never stop crying.

There are times when I am a less than pleasant person to be around because of all the stuff I'm going through though. Each new thing, or even expected things flaring back up, can be frustrating and depressing.

You'll never really be your old self again, but that doesn't mean you can't be better. Time (and I do hate that word now) is the key, and the hardest thing there is, because it means waiting. I was used to bouncing back quick from illness or surgery. Not anymore.
