"10" pain

Bad week.  Really bad week.  Most of this week, I hope to not live through again.  I woke up in the night Monday night with the worst pain.  I counted it as a "10" on my pain scale.  I needed some help.  I needed pain medication. A long story short, I ended up calling my oncologist and our family doctor.  Of course, when I went in to see my family doctor the next day, I was feeling less pain, and not feeling as bad!!! But when I got in the car to come home, heaved my insides out and felt awful the rest of the day and pain the next 2 days.  This pain seemed different.  It was everywhere in my torso.  Not just my liver area.  It was an awful memory that I hope never happens again.

I really feel GOOD. My hair is all back.

I have had such great health the last month.  There have been about 10 day runs that I have felt just like a normal person before I found out I had cancer.  The only real things that happen lately is when my joints ache.  Especially in my knees and hips.  They will really ache in bed.  That's when I take the ibuprofen and I am much better.  The other is not as bothersome, and it has gone along with the cancer and it is being picky with what sounds good to eat.  It is not as bad as it used to be, but I still have a hard time with things I used to like to eat but now I don't care if I ever have it again.  Mexican food ALWAYS sounds good to me.  Especially tacos.  Kim and I have made a Taco Time run many times.  But most of all, I want to eat fruit, fruit, fruit.  I cant get enough.  So when people ask me how I am doing, I REALLY DO FEEL WELL! 

Oh, and by the way, my hair has officially all come back in.  It is as thick as it used to be, only it looks thicker because of the curl.  I am getting more used to trying to fix it but I just don't think I have gotten the right cut yet for my curly hair.  Others say they like it, and I do have "hair" days that I like it, but it just isn't where I want it yet.  Finally, the last to grow, my bangs are officially the length they need to be, which was the last to get to that point.  Yea!!!!  A full head of hair again!!!!
