Well, Part 1 was really yesterday, Part 2 covers today....
It's Saturday....the 'day after' and its starting out a little sketchy. Not quite nauseous, not chipper and ready to run a couple miles....Yesterday, as I was leaving the Drs office, you remember I told you I got a shot of Neulasta as a parting gift. Neulasta is given to help prevent infections during chemotherapy by stimulating the body to generate white blood cells. That is important. It has side effects too....they warned me. But I was having such a great Round 1, I thought I'd be spared. Well, not so fast. "Side effects include: bone pain (yes), muscle pain (yes), headache (check), JOINT PAIN (exclamation point!!) yes. They said it would be sort of like the flu and they were right. Misery most of the day. Two Advil did the trick, but I think Hydrocodone will come in handy next Round.
2:00 pm Deanna made it down from Dallas. She and Donna are going to San Diego on Monday for Spring Break. Katherine is going to Chicago with her orchestra for the week. They're leaving me....
6:00 pm The joint pain, headache, and back ache is too much. Two Advil and I have to lay down. I'm getting moody....what's that all about? I'll try a little nap....
7:30 pm Katherine is off early, so Deanna and Donna are going to pick her up. Think I'll try a little dinner. It's been a long day so far, but I am very fortunate for the few trials I have had to endure so far. My thoughts are with you Larry and Linda...
