After I figured out my capsule problem. My stomach stopped being a jerk. It was sooo nice afterwards, I rewarded it with lots and lots of food and cake lol. I was sooooo happy that my stomach went back to being "my" stomach. Everyone who knows me, knows I Love to eat. And I do it sooo well.
My stomach being awesome lasted around a couple weeks. Of course, nothing is permanent after a Bone Marrow Transplant. I mean, my skin is still changing colors so the stomach I guess I will just deal with. Yesterday my stomach sucked. I was forced to take Tums around 1 and nothing stopped hurting until 4...
But, once it stopped hurting I was able to eat a pecan roll. Which was really necessary.
OH, Development! I don't have to take the stupid powdery nasty pills anymore and...I'm down to taking only 7 meds morning and night!!!!! As time goes, more pills do too!
I am soooo excited for Day +100!
I am also excited for a year after that because then I'm getting my new tattoos! And yes, plural...
I watched a documentary on body modification the other night and I remembered how much I like tattoos, especially when they are super symbolic. It's such a shame though, I'm either going to have to get my first one redone but hopefully just retouched. Since my skin changed colors and is now just pretty much coming off...so is my tat on my left shoulder!
I will go through with redoing it if I have to because it is very symbolic of who I am and the pain is nothing compared to chemo. Also, if it didn't hurt a little, it wouldn't be as epic when it's done. Pretty much like a Bone Marrow Transplant.
