After Shot

This shot that I get the day after kills me!  My teeth are even starting to hurt!  Got all my meds written down and getting them in my body is a full time job.

Made it to JT's game tonight and they won again, so they play tomorrow night.  Hope I can suck it up and make that one.  Time for me to go to bed!

Second Round Down

So far so good.  I even made it to JT's lacrosse game!We will see how tomorrow goes.  I go get my Nulasta shot at 9:30.  This is were the test comes.  This shot makes be hurt deep into my bones.
Got my meds all written down so I can keep them straight and hopefully keep the pain under control.  I will keep you updated.

Second Treatment

So for my second round, I am HEALTHY!  Hopefully this will be a whole different experience than last time.  It took me over two weeks to get to feeling like myself!

Many people have asked how they can help. So I am posting a link, if you like and share it that would be awesome. But please do not feel obligated!

Are we past the worst?

Sunday I was able to go to sacrament meeting and then I came home and slept. I had a headache that had been persistant since Friday night.  I was able to relieve it with different meds but it kept coming back.  On Monday I made an appointment with my fabulous family practitioner, Aaron Elswood.  I received an injection of Toradol and phenagran.  This should have knocked my headache out.  When I woke up, it was actually worse than earlier.  Finally enough was enough  and I called my home teachers for a blessing and a ride to the ER.  At the ER they did a CAT Scan and everything was normal. They gave me another shot of Toradol and phenegran as well as a few other meds.  About midnight I was able to come home and get some sleep.  Also monday they put me on a Z-Pak for my sinuses and chest infections.  From monday thru Wednesday, I think I slept the most I have ever slept.  Thursday I went to work for about an hour and then a sub showed up for me.  Came home and slept for the rest of the day.  Friday another day of sleeping.  Did a few things in between naps to help build energy back up. Finally starting to feel like I'm on the mend!  A special thank you to all of you who pitched in and helped me with everything this week.  I greatly appreciate it!

The Last 72 hours......

have probably been the most trying that I have ever had.  At least I know what expect next time.  I just wanted to crawl in a hole and never come out.  I am so extremely grateful for good friends that stepped in and helped out with my kids.  We have truely been blessed with meeting some very good, new friends.  

Things to remember next time..... and Write down all medication and when I take it!  I think that if I had done this I would have faired a little bit better.  I couldn't remember when or what I took and so I didn't manage it very well.  

Get new pillows!  Something a lot softer!  My body feels like it has no fat on it (which we know is not true!).  Every surface that I touch feels hard.   

This post is a little scattered, but that is they way my mind is functioning right now.  I just want everyone that has helped us to know how much a appreciate it.  Your love and compassion is above and beyond .. and I hope that I can do the same for others when I get through with this battle.   I could not live in a better neighborhood with better friends than I do at this time.
