I Miss the Cold

The chemo infusion as stated before has a side affect in reaction to cold.  Grabbing cold shopping carts, opening refrigeration units at stores, walking outside at night.

The worst part is craving cold foods and drinks.  I'm still craving ice cold cokes, ice cream, cold left overs.  Case in point we recently brought home a leftover tuna sandwich.  In order to eat it, I have to pull it out of the refrigerator, remove the lettuce and tomatoe to microwave, wait for the lettuce and tomatoe to cool to warm to room temperature or play Russian roulette with the microwave.

I have learned to keep a bottle of powerade next to me in bed under the covers to keep it Luke warm. Room temperature is still too cold.  Even asking for water at restaurants without ice comes too cold.

The urge for cold often overcomes common sense.  I order before realizing my error in judgment.

So here's looking forward to next March. Cold weather or hot, I'm going for a coke float.
