Yikes, smonster! I can't really say I hope it's C. diff, but I hope whatever it is, it can be diagnosed and treated quickly.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I hope the medicine makes you feel better, smonster.
I have Steph's sore throat and aches, plus my eyes are really irritated. Some of it may be allergies, since I worked outside for a few minutes yesterday and found that I appear to have discovered tear gas plants. Also, my ears hurt and my feet are a mess from the chemo. I'm actually getting off pretty lightly compared to many people on this drug. However, the warning "Nails may turn black and fall off" is not just in the long list of side effects to keep you from nodding off.

Alright, that's just no fun, Ginger. Seriously.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Ginger, Sorry about your poor toes--chemo is so very difficult.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Lots of Scrappy Ma ~ma!!!
Ginger, damn. Sorry about the tear gas and the bad side effects.

Is it too gross? Should I spoiler font it? Mine haven't really fallen off, but they're curling away from the nail bed. My fear is that I'll catch them on something and pull them off, an idea I find really gross. I'm trying to get a podiatrist appointment to see if something can be done in a more controlled way. The toes didn't do well in the last bout of chemo either. They are chemo magnets. At least I don't really care about how my feet look. They've always been ugly, so I tend to not expose them to the public.
On the other hand, except for occasional bouts of tingling, my hands are doing great. Fun fact for those of you who would like to include strange facts in your mystery fiction: Xeloda makes the fingerprints on your fingers disappear.

No don't spoiler font. This is Bitches. But I hope the side effects diminish soon. Also diagnosis and improvement ma to smonster.
Also a quick Google says lost fingerprints from Xeloda if they happen are permanent! But the particular effect is rare, so a crook taking it to rid himself is fingerprints is betting on long odds.
