As we were warned, the radiation is catching up with Ernie. He will suddenly become overwhelmed by fatigue and have to take a nap. His saliva is also falling him. He can no longer eat bread, crackers, cookies, etc. Even oatmeal was a struggle this AM. The dietitian provided recipes for high protein shakes and smoothies. I have a feeling the blender will shortly be our best friend.
Unfortunately, "fruitastic" fluoride did not live up to its name. It burned Ernie's mouth just like the spearmint. Even the Novocaine rinse didn't give him any relief. We left a message for the dentist; hope he has some other flavors in his arsenal.
