Re: I've had my chest x-ray
I slept well (10 to 7) after very little sleep the previous night - feel quite good today.The weather is of the kind where currently it's cool (11c) but may burn back like yesterday and reach 20c. Or it could stay misty all day.
My doctor increased my pain medication yesterday, explaining how this is sometimes necessary. I'm up to 15mg on the Oxycodone from 10mg plus more liquid at night. The pain has been getting worse - some moderate activity (putting together a TV or walking to the corner of the road leaves me exhausted and this is when my neck, back and shoulders begin to hurt.
Staying inside, like today, I still need the tablets although I'm going to try and reduce the frequency with which I take them.
I'd give anything to be able to go out and do a 4 mile walk.

No idea what is on in the day, I never put mine on until evening.

Re: I've had my chest x-ray
I'm in no pain in the morning - it just kind of builds up during the day. By 4pm I definitely need some tablets and again just before bedtime.When I'm walking, I have great trouble moving my head to the left or right to check for traffic. My neck is so stiff. I'm guessing this is the surgeries.
After finally assembling my TV and putting in the various sockets for the aerial, power, sound etc. I was covered in sweat. I wonder how some older people manage. I should be able to do this without difficulty, I'm only 51.
If I was suddenly placed in our Botanical Gardens I would be fine until I had to move about: It's not sore legs or some other handicap just a very fatigued body I have, so a walking stick is no good. On the way to my doctors or coming back from my chemist there are benches for which I am very grateful, less than 5 minutes walking and I need to rest.
I suppose that it is the chemo, I don't know exactly, but I can be fine then 10 minutes later my body is like it's run a marathon.
