Bone Pain…

Happy Tuesday,

I am so happy that I felt well all weekend and finally made it to church for the first time in a month.  What a blessing the service was with a focus on communion and what Christ did for us on the cross.  This world is not all there is, and my hope is in the Lord.

My hair?  Still mostly there!  Yay!  Today, though, I began having some bone pain from the white blood cell booster shots.  Last night was the first time it showed up, but I had it in my first round of chemo last year.  It’s pretty painful.  I couldn’t sit last night without pain.  I took some Extra Strength Tylenol and used a heating pad, and that seemed to help.  Today is a little worse.  I just took some Tylenol with Codine and am hoping that it kicks in soon.  The pain is mainly in my hips and lower back.  Please pray that it goes away or is controlled with drugs!  Tomorrow is the Angel’s Game, and that means a lot of sitting.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support.  I have been so blessed by so many of you!

Love,

Monica

    I hope you wake up this morning feeling better. Have a FANTASTIC time at the Angels game! I’m so happy you’re going. I’m excited for you. Enjoy it! Say hi to Brian for me! I’ll talk to you about it afterwards. I want to hear all the details. Love, Patty

    Man. Do you have any Vicodin leftover from your surgery? That was the only thing that worked for me.
