Well Mom changed meds on Monday. They decided to triple all of her medicine. She won’t have to go get chemo for three weeks. This whole chemo experience has been confusing. Just when we start to understand the program the program changes.
On Wednesday, Mom got a lovely side effect from the new meds (her doctor failed to tell her 71% of patients suffer from it). Neuropathy, in her lower legs and feet. She told me it was like she was plugged into an electrical outlet. Not tingly but electric shock. Of course to keep her southern creds she just gritted her teeth and told no one. Until the next day when it got unbearable. She said it was worse than childbirth and kidney stones. Perhaps she’ll go back to the drug that only gave her diarrhea and nausea. At least they’re not painful just annoying.
Thursday Lisa came and got her for a girls day at her house. They watched movies & had a fun lunch. Lisa gave her a pedicure, manicure & foot massage. I’m thinking of going to the Lisa Spa soon! It sounds great. Mostly it was just great for Mom to get out of her house. She’s all but been housebound … no, actually she's been housebound. That evening she got some meds to counter act the effects of the new meds. So on Friday @ 7pm she was doing much better. Lisa took a few pi
ctures of their day.
