Pain management. Doc was very professional, but didn't have much personality. I left with yet another 2 prescriptions *sigh* and nothing more than sleep with a pillow between my legs along with more pain than I went in with. Too much poking and prodding. I hope my company from Maryland that is coming tomorrow isn't expecting a clean house because that won't happen :(

Anniversary 2 and a half years on March 25, 2012. Upcoming appointments: March 28 pain management with Dr Dugeon.......bone treatment sometime in April,guess I'll have to call because I've forgotten the date.

Pamidronate Disodium is the newest drug I have infusing into my body these days. It's used to strenghten my bones, I hope it does something for my knees. My knees have been so sore, the pain even wakes me up at night. Heat and/or ice don't touch the pain, I use my pain med concoction my doc suggested but it wears off before I am 'allowed' to take the next dosage. Sometimes the pain has brought me to tears. I have resorted to using a beautiful wooden cane I purchased in Watertown and a wheelchair if we are out and plan to do alot of walking. I hope with warmer weather my knees start to feel better, arthritis in addition to bone cancer sucks! My next appointment is in a month. See you then~

Here is the list of songs I chose to play during the visiting hours at my funeral. They play it quietly in the background.

My funeral is paid in full.Thank you Charles (my brother in law left money to pay for my funeral, before he died last September) and Diane, who took care of the going to make the payment. And to Rob Reid for being so kind and gentle with me. Above is my funeral card that AJ made for my - folded makes a 4 sided card

Pain

Let's talk about pain. My  doctors have assured me that none of my pain is being caused by my cancer, but I am about to scream. My knees are in pain from arthritis, my hips are achy which I think is related to my knees. My hands hurt, more arthritis, my elbows have hurt ever since I fell last summer, I was told I have likely bruised the bones. Does that ever heal? Perhaps never. I hate pain, I want to clean out my daughter's closet but can't. Things I can usually dp in a day is taking me a week. I hate this. I took some oxycodone this morning so I might be able to clean the kitchen and put back together the shelf I cleared off yesterday. Peter helped me move it and flip it, so I am VERY glad he did that for me. Of course everything that was on the shelf is now in the kitchen and dining room, but that will be for another day. Okay I feel a little better now that I have whined, thanks for listening.
