Multiple Myeloma

7-20-13

Took my steroid fix early this morning.  When I got the urge to run around in a golf cart, or to install bathroom fixtures, or to vacuum (come to think about it, I never had that urge), or to do anything else requiring heavy duty, right handed work, I took my heating pad back to bed and treated the rib.  Seems to have been helping eliminate the pain.

So, now I will take my evening vicodin, get a bit dizzy, and a bit drowsy, and soon will take my heating pad to bed.  As I have mentioned, my goal is to eliminate the rib discomfort, then to return to MM, which means, stay with the program, which, with Mary Ann and Karen monitoring, I have done well, especially the no unprotected sex requirement.  I am often surprised to have to explain the thalidomide problem, but I continue to get guffaws when I do.

But for the vicodin effects, today has been a good one.
