Had a nice, relaxing day with my beautiful wife...we stayed home...she decorated the house with a Valentine Tree and lots of hearts. I made some balloons---Hearts. Hopefully, today we can go out and do something together.
It has been nearly a week since my first chemo and I was doing fine. Today I started getting all sorts of little pain explosions. It felt like needles and knife wounds popping-up all over my neck and head and shoulder and chest. They were brief and irritating. Then, when they finally subsided, my joints and bones started aching. I couldn't get comfortable standing or sitting and it is still difficult to just lie down. We were able to have a nice dinner, pizza rolls and ice cream and fritos...snacking feels better than a full meal right now.
We are both really independent so I am uneasy when she has to see me so uncomfortable. She will do anything for me, but I guess I just don't want to feel like I can't be doing anything. My appetite is still fine and I have a happy mindset. I am motivated, yet I feel helpless. There is pain, then 2 hours of relief and as I get motivated to start working on something---the pain comes back. It would be nice if it would be a little smoother...more predictable.
We'll just have to ride these next few days out and see what happens. The weather should be nice enough that we can maybe go for walk. I am fortunate and happy to have such a good wife and companion...
