The story of how I beat this monster.

Whaaaaa!
I am supposed to be on the upswing here, but today is not really an upswing kind of day. I am so achey! My hips and knees and legs all hurt so bad. I have had to take a decent amount of pain pills today just to be able to stand being awake. My hips hurt so bad I actually have a very hard time standing up. I wouldn't think that I would have this side effect nearly a week afterward! My guess is that it is probably my neuslasta shot- I have heard that can cause bone pain and I thought I just lucked out and didn't have too much of it. I really feel like crap today! Bah! I drove to pick up Ethan from school, and when he got in, he asked if I had to go get chemo today? I said no, but I don't feel well. He said- yea, I can tell! Jeez, you know it's bad when a 12 year old boy that doesn't notice anything says you basically look like crap. Nothing some vicodin can't fix, I suppose.

Hang in there. Remember, you'll have good days and bad days. And yes, you will look like warmed over crap some days. :-) All you can do is get through it and come out the other end. And you CAN do that.
ReplyDeleteDon't be afraid to "play the cancer card". Even the days you are feeling better, your body is taking a beating and you need to conserve your strength. Even if you don't feel right about it and feel like you have to "be Mom". And yes, pain drugs can be your friends. :-)
