My Diaphragm (hiccup!) is a Lousy Metronome

(hiccup!) Today is two days out (hiccup!) from chemo, and my muscles (hiccup!) are starting to feeling like someone replaced them (hiccup!) with cream of wheat. (hiccup!) You may also (hiccup!) notice the hiccups, which (hiccup!) I understand are a side-effect (hiccup!) of the cortisteroids they (hiccup!) gave me. If you were here beside me, (hiccup!) you would also note the 5 additional (hiccup!) pounds I’ve gained since (hiccup!) chemo. …(hiccup!)… I’m a little red and puffy too. And (hiccup!) hungry.

I had (hiccup!) hiccups all through rehearsal last night. (hiccup!) It was distracting, (hiccup!) and as you might imagine, (hiccup!) it made for some very jerking tempo changes.
