good days and less-good days

I've had some truly lovely days, and some tougher ones as well.

Last week, I met Chris in California and we spent some delightful days near the ocean. And then, towards the end, it got a bit tougher. My voice is weak and I sound like I have laryngitis. The fatigue is real, and I am tired. I've had my fair share of headaches. I am also experiencing some of the taste changes--things like spicy food and bubbly drinks are painful now. (I was prescribed a mouthwash to help--but it is so nasty that I am not sure it is worth it.)

Today is particularly hard. I had a lot of pain in my legs overnight and they are sore today. I called the on-call doctor and I am getting an MRI tomorrow to make sure that it is just inflammation and not something worse.

I hope this does not mean that I will miss out on my trip to VA this weekend.
