I’m feeling tired, but pretty good tonight. As a matter of fact, I felt pretty good almost all day. I was a little slow out of the gate this morning, but after a while felt pretty good. It seems that when I first get up, I feel good. But after an hour or so, I start to fade. I find that if I rest a bit, them I’m sort of ready to go.
I took some ibuprofen today and my right foot got better all day. By now the ibuprofen as completely worn off and my foot is almost completely pain free. I even went out for my 1-mile walk and experienced only an occasional pain spasm. But I didn’t have any difficulty walking. It appears the pain was only do to the chemo and not a stress fracture. I’m pleased about that as a stress fracture can take weeks to heal.
I went in for my blood test. Monday my white cell count was 30,000. Today it was 3,900. Still healthy, but down substantially from Monday. To my satisfaction they gave me a Neulasta shot. I’m not looking forward to how the Neulasta will whack me, but I’m pleased were taking proactive efforts to PREVENT me from dropping to dangerous levels.
When at the oncology office, my oncologist was hanging around and I quizzed briefly on my foot pain. He didn’t know what to make of it, but said anything is possible.
I’m shortly off to bed.
