Wednesday I had my back procedure. Thursday my back hurt less. Friday I started to feel like crap but got a manicure/pedicure in the afternoon to make me feel normal.
Saturday I started feeling pretty bad and took my temperature which topped out at 101.6 at 2am this morning. I couldn't talk and my husband had to screen my phone calls and tell people to email me instead. I feel like all I have done in the past four days is lie around and take
drugs - pain meds, cold meds, and tylenol. I have also eaten chocolate
chunk chocolate ice cream for its healing properties.
I woke up this morning and my temperature was 98.8 so I think I have mostly recovered. I am finally beginning to think I might survive. I am not going to work tomorrow so I can continue to recover.
But my back doesn't really hurt much any more.
Personally I think that if you have had cancer you should be exempt from the common cold.

I second that, Carolyn. it's just too much piling on, dammit. glad your temp is normal now - just sleep and sleep and sleep. and HOORAY for your back not hurting nearly as much as it did.
sending you waves and waves of light for comfort and healing.
love,
Karen, TC
