It's been all about pain today. Having pain is like wearing blinders... there's nothing but pain. I have a high tolerance, but today it was bad. I took narcotics and went to work. Agony. After a few hours I asked Eric to take me home. More narcotics, more agony, and no position that would relieve the pain in my spine even a little bit.
Eric spoke with my oncologist through my caseworker. We upped the narcotics (to 4x's the original amount I was taking), added ibuprofen, and have had the scheduling of the scans expediated.
Now I'm in a narcotic fog, but the pain is just a dream in the background that swells and subsides. This is a good, good, thing.
It's getting to be impossible to predict what the next day will bring around here. I hope it's something good.
