I'm not liking these Neulasta shots. And I'm not even complaining about the bone aches it causes. It burns when they give it to me. The nurse tells me as I'm gritting my teeth, "It's funny, some people don't feel this shot at all". And I also know, some people don't get the bone aches from it either. I guess since I don't get as many chemo side effects, this one shot is making sure I get my treatment's worth! Sheesh! Maybe it's just needles in general. They haven't been playing fair with me lately. The positive out of this is, round 3 is almost over and only 1 more round to go!
I'm on my scheduled Tylenol doses, every six hours. It's working so far, but the bone pain usually kicks up in the next 1-3 days. Hopefully, I can get through this round as well as the last one. I went out for my walk early today before the shot had a chance to take affect.
It was Thursday wrestling night again. Not a good night for either the JV or Varsity teams. My son almost had his guy but got flipped around wrong and was pinned. A real bummer. He has been wrestling the last few meets on the Varsity team due to the wrestler in his weight class being injured. We've been up against some tough teams. He has two more tournaments the next 2 Saturdays and a final dual meet next Thursday and then the season is over for him. The regular varsity guys have a couple more tournaments before state finals if any of the wrestlers qualify. But for my son, he's moving on. He's going to join the track and field team this spring...as a pole vaulter! Yikes! Should be an interesting season for us.
