As part of my chemotherapy regimen, I have to wear a fanny-pack looking pump that disperses about 2 teapoons of this drug per hour for about 46 hours. You never know what you assume until there's a new element added to your life -- like a fanny pack that you can't get wet. I 've had to learn to wash my hair with one hand, stick my head under the water, all the while standing outside the shower stall. I have to be careful about washing other parts of my body, one-handed, while keeping the fanny pack hanging from a hanger on the shower door.
I noticed yesterday that there's an area of the floor right around the shower that seems cleaner than all the rest of the bathroom floor.
As I progress with my cancer treatment, I learn new tricks of the trade, but I sure do like it when I can take a complete shower, using both hands and getting every part of me wet at the same time. Sometimes it's the simple things you miss the most.
