Shopping List

So I just got back from my final shopping run before chemo.  I thought you might like a peak at my shopping list:

Eye drops
Lotion
Chapstick
Biotin mouthwash for dry mouth
(Are we noticing a theme?  As I mentioned in my last post, there is NO moisture left in my body!)

Immodium--probably TMI, but desperately needed--nuff said!
Claritin--to help combat the bone pain from the Nuelasta shot.  Not sure why it works....
Antacid--wretched heartburn

Wheat thins
Salted plain rice cakes
Lipton Chicken Noodle Cup-A-Soup
Plain rice with lots of salt
(Here is another theme--I CRAVE salt!)

String cheese
Plain unsweetened applesauce
(Not sure why but this another combination that I crave.)

Popsicles--orange are best
Jello
Gatorade
Mio water enhancing drops in lemon--because plain water tastes like metal.
Plastic utensils--because my metal mouth just can't take the real stuff.
Tissues--who knew that chemo makes your nose gunk up and then drip like crazy.

I think this is all of it. 

 You now know what my life and diet consists of in the week following chemo :)

Someone once told me that if I had a food vice that I wanted to give up, I should eat it during chemo, and then afterward I will never want it again due to the power of association.

I have a nice bag of chocolate in my chemo bag.

I'll let you know how that works out :)

Funny thing,

 when I got home the kids looked in the bags and said,

"What did you get for us to eat?"

Whoops, did you need food this week?  

My bad....
