Approx. 7 pm
on Sunday evening, I started noticing some knee joint pain in both knees. About
the same level of pain as when my arthritis is bothering me. However, by the
time I crawled into bed at 10:30 pm, the pain was so much more intense!!! After
praying & singing for what felt like hours, I must have fallen asleep. But
at 2:30 am "ish", the searing pain woke me up. By 4 am the pain was starting
to subside. I must have fallen back to sleep because the next time I checked
the clock it read 6:30 am. Thank you Jesus!!!
Of course,
getting up and out of bed and walking across the bedroom floor was quite an exercise
in patience. I felt like I was in one of those slow motion movie scenes. I would have taken some OTC pain relievers, but I didn't want to
mess with Mr. Chemo. I also know that I must get myself going because I need to
go get my injection. After breakfast, JP Transportation took me back to MD
Anderson @ Cooper for my injection. The injection was no problem. I asked the
nurse about my knee problems and asked what I could take for the pain. She
advised that I could take whatever I usually take. Thank you Jesus!!!
After lunch,
I took some pain relievers and crawled back into bed. I slept and read most of
the afternoon. I still have some residual pain, but now I'm praying that with another dose of pain relievers, I can
get a good night of sleep.
For those
that prayed all day for me … thanks!!!! Please keep praying!!!!!
Only by His
Strength,
Sandy
Way to keep at it, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better!
ReplyDeleteThose body pains are a bummer but that's great you can take your normal pain reliever for it. I know I downed an embarrassingly huge amount of ibuprofen for many months. I never could figure out why my leg calves would hurt, mostly during the 48 hrs after an infusion. I know, Mr Chemo just is not a gentleman at all!
