Pain, Pain, Go Away...Come Again Another Day!...

Knowing that I'd over done it yesterday, I thought I'd take it easy today. I went into work, but tried to not walk more than I had to. However, by lunchtime I had to take 2 Hydrocodone and the pain didn't even let up. I was hurting pretty bad. I decided to take off work and relax at home where I can sit in the recliner with the heat & massage on. It helped a little bit, but the pain in my back is getting to be pretty gnarly :(

Although I really didn't feel like it, I had to make a trip to Kaiser to have my blood taken tonight. I have to go in two days before chemotherapy to have my blood drawn for testing each week or other week (depending upon my schedule). I forget exactly what they're looking for, but if my counts are too high on some of my tests then I cannot have chemo that time around. So far, I haven't missed a chemo treatment (other than when I had an infection in my finger). So, I guess my blood has been pretty good. Friday will be chemo # 36.

Even though I haven't been feeling 100%, I still must mention how stinkin proud I am of those San Francisco Giants :) Maybe they're doing it for me!!!

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie

  2. They are watching your white blood cell count....if it is TOO LOW, you can't have chemo. Yes, you are right in that your blood is cooperating and allowing you to have every single treatment!
