So, I'm on maintenance chemo (which doesn't have side effects - yay!) and headed out for treatment this morning. Was crawling down my pot-holed street when I remembered that I hadn't put my numbing cream on. I have a chemo port in my chest and they have to puncture me each time to draw blood and pump in chemicals. And it smarts. So I have a cream that I'm supposed to put on about an hour ahead of time to numb it up a little. You can't drive down my street faster than a couple miles per hour these days so I just rummaged around in my purse with one hand while keeping my eyes on the road, found and opened a tube by feel, and smeared a goodly glob on. Without looking. Sniff sniff. Sniff sniff. Mint? I don't remember that stuff smelling like mint...
I thought I took the travel size stuff out of my purse when I got out of the hospital...
Lol! Yeah, but did it work? Could be a less expensive alternative to lidicaine gel...
