I wrote this on April 15, 2023, however, for some reason it wouldn’t upload from the WordPress app. I’ll figure it out. Anyway, here is the post…
So chemo was Wednesday (4/12/23). Today is Saturday and I’ve basically been in bed all day. (I was in bed all weekend, really) Not to sleep really, just because it’s more comfortable to lay down than it is to sit at my desk.
The bone/joint pain has set in and everything from my ankles to my wrists are throbbing. My elbows even hurt – ELBOWS!! I also have those zinging pains but they seem to be focused at my waist this time around. Oh, and also the zings are happening between my fingers.
It’s also in the 80’s here in MI and my room/office is hot! (We had a stretch of summer weather) And this thing – nodule, mass, lesion, tumor…whatever it is) in my abdomen is bothering me.
Oh! And my eyes are blurry. I desperately need new glasses but I don’t think now is the time to go in and get them checked. I don’t know. I think they are affected by the chemo. (Future Heidi here, I am definitely going to ask my oncologist at the next appointment. I may just see if I can get a copy of my old script and get a new pair outside of my insurance.)
I just wanted to check in and post where I’m at. I will update more when I am able to sit more comfortably at my desk.
Until then…Heidi
