Multiple Myeloma

7-7-13

Second day following Revlimid of night before.  No unwanted side effects, just very tired most of the time with troublesome feet, no unwanted pregnancies.

Toughest part of all this is for Mary Ann.  Without suggesting predestination, I am "whatever will be, will be" - she hasn't got there.  Maybe because she frequently says "go lie down" when she has checked to make sure I have taken my meds.  And she keeps the house running as smoothly as possible.

Most difficult for me is not having enough energy to mow and otherwise care for the yard, to haul salt to the basement, to feed the birds and clean the pool.  Golf is not even considered, the surprise being I don't mind. 

However casual I am about Myeloma, I realize what I have is cancer.  The thought of that before the testing began would have been most difficult to accept, since it really is uphill.  We will be interested in seeing how long that lasts after the results are in.
