Chemotherapy sucks.

Wednesday, June 14, 2006

Everything is going along just tickidy boo =) Last night I went to my second meeting with the Light the Night committee. The plans are coming along well, now it's just a matter of getting walkers registered and a few more logistics. After the meeting I made the mistake of going out for Thai food. I've always enjoyed spicy food, I'd like to think it has something to do with living in India as a youngster- tuned up my taste buds! But something about these chemicals in my body made me barely able to handle it. It felt like my lips were on fire, and my nose was trying to put it out. Of course it tasted too good to actually stop eating it. Finally Lucas ordered me a milk, I was skeptical and I was proven wrong. Worked like a charm, a little sip swished around in my mouth and the fire was gone. I think I'll put off Thai food for another couple months.

    Capsaicins (the hot in a hot pepper) is a fatty molecule, and thus is not water-soluble, so drinking milk or eating yogurt (with milk fat and proteins) works great -- 'like dissolves like'. Straight vodka or rubbing alcohol (ew) is good too, because alcohol dissolves fat.
