I'm not quite sure why, but I woke up around 12:30 w/ severe pain all over my body. If I remember correctly they gave me a shot of levoquin in my stomach, but I thought that it was supposed to prevent blood clots. It was awful, I FINALLY got pain medicine for it. It's 5am now and I still feel like I've been hit by a truck, all muscles hurt, and I have been doing lots of walking laps and laps around the oncology floor but the pain remains. My Dr.'s response, you don't have any more leukemia in your blood so you shouldn't hurt. Whatever. I wish he could fill my shoes for a day...just one day, not every day like me, then see what "doesn't" hurt so bad!
Still Fighting, Katie
I'm sorry you've been in pain; hope the walking around will help. You told me that they've agreed to give you pain medicine more frequently, so I bet you're going to feel more comfortable soon. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteYes, he said that and so I walked..and walked. It's the shots of nulasta in my stomach cause severe bone pain and he will only order pain medicine...at first every 8 hours!!! Then we got him to 6, so while I'm wailing in bed every night from severe pain my nice little nurse said "are you trying to get my attention? Well no but can't you give me something a little less strong to tide me over? anyways, I'll b speaking w the house manager today.. .I've had enough. come by anytime and I'll :really: bring u up to speed love kt
