life continues

I'm having a week of especially poor short term memory, it feels like. That plus a general sense of fatigue has me down.

I got vaccinated on Saturday, the J&J vaccine, and my shoulder is still sore, so that could be part of being more tired than usual. Monday I also missed taking my daily pills until the afternoon. That probably didn't help.

On Sunday we went to Costco and I ordered hearing aids per the hearing specialist's recommendation. That was a little anticlimactic, really, after stressing about it for years. I'm supposed to pick them up on April 3rd.

This Friday I meet (via video) with the doctor who will directly oversee my PRRT treatment. Yesterday I read some info on the treatment that indicated they will want me to have my Octreotide shot the day after treatment. my next shot is scheduled for April 2nd. If they start my PRRT April 1st I might have to reschedule picking up the hearing aids, since I will still be somewhat radioactive.

Side effects include nausea and vomiting, mostly as a reaction to Amino Acids they give you to protect your kidneys. Oh, and like any radiation, it increases your chances of developing cancer. :P

Ad Astra, I guess.
