Elderly without the wisdom

Haha, I’m glad I can get a good giggle out of it now. Last night, wow. That Nulasta must have kicked in full throttle. I was told that the “big bones” would ache like the hips and leg bones. Oooh no, my finger bones even ached. It sucked and I was never so snappy to people I came in contact with. I just wanted to lay there on the couch and not move a bit. I’m feeling better now it only lasted a few hours thankfully.

I keep meaning to bring up the idea of going down to Alabama for a week to my mother. I know she’ll say no. And part of me knows I can’t physically do it. : It’s pretty disappointing that I can’t do much anymore. At least while I’m still getting treatments. Even taking a short 10 minute walk tires me out, grocery shopping saps a lot of energy too. The idea of walking around a giant airport or two in the same day even makes me want to nap.

I’ll have better chances of having an actual life back when the weather gets warmer I suppose. I can go out more and take walks and runs to the park, to slowly build some stamina up. It’s just that waiting two more months or even longer is so disheartening.

Hay gal it is little cool here today. I’m in AZ. But when the sun comes out again I will send it your way.

Love Sherri

Gemma – Before you know it, you’ll be done and regaining your strength. Then you can go and do all kinds of things. Hang in there. Glad the ache didn’t last too long.
I’m praying for you.
Hugs!
Karen
