After a rather pleasant recess, yesterday began another 21 day regimen of revlimid with a few dexamethasone (steroid) hits along the way. Since the last regimen resulted in the favorable results I mentioned earlier, I wondered aloud with Dr. Milton if we might decrease the steroid hit - no such luck. He did give me some scheduling alternatives, but somewhere along the way I expect some days will have me appearing drunk and zombie like, which some of my "good" friends have wondered how to notice the difference. Incidentally, there was no hint by the good doctor as to when, or even if, the regimens might stop for a while, although he did say we probably could go to Rome or some such place in the future without taking more pills than clothes.
I do hope to add, better, to subtract, from these musings. Being tired and having numb feet is a given, and (I haven't read back to check) mentioned often if not always. I see no reason to clutter this message with givens, so, unless there is a substantial change in either, no more about feet nor tired. I do recognize, as others remind me, that the latter might be as much due to age!
Further, although I am not much inclined for mind over matter, belief over fact, I have noticed that I forget feet and tired when I am busy doing something other than sitting on the front porch - maybe, despite a bit of embarrassment, I just use both to enjoy having my neighbor across the street blow away my leaves since she does a better job of it than I do.
