Fever returns

After the events of last Thursday, I was overjoyed to feel exceptional on Friday & Saturday. Consequently, I increased my activity. Then the other shoe fell......BAM!! Saturday night the fever returned and the bone/joint aches started.....from my lower back to my feet. The bone pain is from Taxol. It's another beautiful side effect along with neuropathy which I have not experienced as of yet. It's not clear where the fever is coming from. Flu? Chemo? Viral infection? Who knows?! I called the dr on Saturday night and she called in an antibiotic to play on the safe side. Saturday night was utter misery. The fever would not go away and the bone pain was keeping me awake. Restorative sleep escaped me. I got 20 minutes here and there. It was a lonely night.

Sunday was more of the same. The fever was lower, but the bone pain was wearing on me. I was determined to get a good night's rest. That night right before bed I took 2 tylenol to help deaden some of the pain...at least the shooting ones up my femurs. I was successful. I slept well.

Now it's Monday. This morning I had no fever, but this afternoon it returned to a low grade. This is annoying. My leg bones ache but I don't have the shooting pains. I can tolerate this.

The couch is my friend. Thank goodness my kids can entertain themselves and make their own PB & J. Earlier the three of them were playing duck-duck-goose and red light green light. It was pretty funny.

I know tomorrow will be a better day. God only gives us what we can handle. He must think I'm strong enough. Your prayers are needed and appreciated. Love, srb
