So…
Zometa.Kicked.My.Ass.
I was told that I would “probably” experience “slight” flu-like symptoms for a day. What I got was symptoms of Major Flu From Hell.
I ran a fever that went up and down and up and down and up and down – 101.7 was the highest, but it felt like 107 cuz I was burning.
My body ached like I had been beaten with 2x4s. It took everything I could muster to even turn over in bed. Going to the restroom was a major ordeal.
Thank Goodness Mom was here to help me out, I’d be lost without her. Being single sucks, but – realistically – who would be able, or want, to handle this… ~sigh~ Certainly not Clifford, he proved his mettle, and it was not metal.
I am told that the first treatment is the worst, that each one becomes easier. Let’s hope.
I’m back off to bed, still recovering.

Always thinking of you, girlfriend. Looks like things are really rough, is Carol staying with you? Are you up for visits, would love to come down and see you. Let me know if this works, miss ya….Love Mare
Mom comes to stay right before my monthly infusion. She has given so much of her time to everyone else and now having to deal with this, I feel so guilty for taking her time away from Dad… I know she gives it freely, but still. Not quite up for company now, by the end of the day I am pretty much Exhausted, but Hopefully in the Very Near Future!
