And, in good news/bad news—
My sister does not have strep throat. Her son came down with it last week, and she started Monday with a sore throat. Given she’s scheduled for surgery tomorrow, this would have been a really, really bad thing. As it turns out, she has a mold allergy (this is new and not great, but…), and that won’t interfere with her surgery.
The bad thing is that our new car, the one we got Thursday, already has a flat tire. I didn’t think to ask Scott if it’s a puncture or a defective tire. He may not know. This unfortunately means he won’t be home for at least two hours yet.
In the so-so news category, I’m tired enough to be achy. A little looking around online found a lot of women saying that they had joint aches and/or muscle aches during and for months after breast radiation. Of course, I found an equal number of very medically official sites that claimed that such things could not possibly be related in any way to radiation therapy. So I have no idea. It might be the radiation; it might be that being this tired is setting off my fibromyalgia. I don’t have a fever, not even a slight one, so it’s not that. The whole thing is making me desperately want stuff with lots of sugar in it. I know that that won’t actually help because the problem isn’t lack of food or low blood sugar.
