Apparently the side effect from one of my drugs has reared it's ugly head. Neupogen is an injection that will help my blood count recover. The side effect is bone pain. Although I have been on it for many days, last night I started having pulsing pain in my knees and hips. I am on pain meds and now mobile and back to "normal" hospital life.
I don't read or study what is coming next. I prefer to be surprised and react to what happens. The nurses knew this was coming. The side effects usually show up at day 15 after the start of chemo. Ta Da! The good news is they appear as my blood counts climb. I am out of 0 and now at .2 (.5 is the minimum to go home).
Charlie and Bev came up. Charlie donated platelets and Bev has an appointment on Thursday. (Thanks!!) They were treated to a drugged up Jeanel. I seriously felt drunk and disorientated all day, but no pain!
More good news is that the kidney doctors have released me. They are so happy with my progress that they are taking a back seat and will be consulted as needed. Yay. Very good news.
Mom and Melissa are here. Mom flew in for a couple of nights and Melissa drove down from her convention in Nashville. Wee!
In case you were wondering, I am still shedding!
Good night!
