Out of the blue

What did I say the last time when I was writing? "The worst" was vomiting - well my friends I really did not know what I was talking about.
Evidently this life saving chemo has side effects on different people in different spots; one can expect to be hit where you have most hurtful place.
Since I had before bouts with arthritis and gout - that was the place it hit me. I woke in the night
put my feet down and screamed bloody murder; thank God I was all alone.
Today, more then a week later, I can walk to my kitchen unassisted and not screaming - hey don't laugh it is an achievement.
Another piece of advice - don't be a hero! If a doctor prescribes you a pain killer - take it; it really helps.
