Tonight is much better than last night. Instead of feeling 110 years old, I’m down to about 75 years old. I went for a two-mile walk with the Vorlon Wife this morning and then again before supper. Mind you, it wasn’t a terribly fast walk, but I completed the whole distance.
About midday today, I started to feel pretty bad. My knees hurt, my ankles hurt and my feet hurt. But I regained some composure as the day wore one. I really think one of the helps was coffee. I had a cup of coffee and I think the really helped.
I managed to stave off any nap. I actually even did a smidgeon of work for a client.
I think the Neulasta is the primary cause of my pain. It is supposed to boost my white blood cell count, but has the side effect of bone pain.
Right now my biggest complaint is the numbness in my fingers and toes. I’m going to contact the oncologist and make sure there is nothing going wrong with my toes. They almost feel like they’ve been frost-bitten. I think I’m going to sleep with socks on my feet tonight.
If they haven’t screwed up my appointment, I plan to see another oncologist for a second opinion tomorrow. Then I’m off to see a neurologist to see if those things in my brain are a serious worry or not.
