Kris, Dave and the Lumps: Round 3, post Chemo 1


2009-Aug-31, Monday
Kris was back at work and things were ok over the weekend.  However, towards the end of the day she started feeling achy, rundown and had a headache.  Her chemotherapy drugs do advertise that you may get flu like symptoms about 3 days after the infusion so, this was expected, though not this late.

Achy and rundown feelings are worse and she can barely wait long enough to take her Tylenol for her headaches.  She's only allowed the Tylenol as the other medicines thin blood and she's on blood thinners for her port.  When she went to bed, she decided to take a Darvocet left over from her surgery to help with the pain and allow her to sleep.

Pain is still there but much reduced.  She was not nearly as... closed is the best description I can give.  That look folks get when they are in pain and trying to function, brow furrowed, etc.  She was in brighter spirits and able to go longer without the Tylenol.  Looks like we are on the mend.
