Had chemo last week, with same result. It seems I will be sleeping days away for a while. My hip continues to be a problem....BUT.....there is help on the way! I saw the orthopedic oncologist who diagnosed my left hip. He diagnosed the right also last Thursday, then put in an order for a steroid shot. I get that shot on Friday!! FriYAY!
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, rise up
It's time to take a shot
Rise up, it's time to take a shot
Rise up, take a shot, shot, shot
It's time to take a shot, time to take a shot
And I am not throwin' away my
Not throwin' away my shot

Not really what was meant by take a shot, but I will rise up early on Friday morning to take my steroid shot!
There isn't much else to report. All I've been able to think about is pain. IT IS LIKE MY BRAIN IS ALWAYS SCREAMING AT ME: I'M IN PAIN and the silly brain doesn't take into account that it has already heard the message. It just keeps screaming, overriding almost all else. I look forward to walking normally, but mostly to a better sleeping schedule. So tired (literally) of the 2 hours bursts of sleep that coincide with how long I can feel the meds working. I can take the hard stuff, that should last 6 hours, and NOPE. Awake and in pain within 2 hours. Tylenol lasts for 4 hours? NOPE. Awake and in pain within 2 hours. REPEAT.
Anyway, my mind is elsewhere, even right now. Can't think of anything else.
