Day 58 | Legs Worse Today

Today, my legs are worse than yesterday. The doctors agree with my diagnosis (erythema nodosum), and said that I will be awarded a medical license at the end of this. They the welts are a possible reaction to the cholesterol meds, so I should stop those....which means, return of the tummy trouble.

They want to see me to make sure - I have an appointment this afternoon for a check up. 

This picture was last night, around 10PM. I have four new spots that appeared this morning. Again, they are raised bumps, hot to the touch, and feel like bruises. The spots don't itch, hurt a little, especially when standing. It actually feels like someone hit my legs with a bat. 



Largest spot:



All these side effects are annoying...hopefully, it means the chemo really attacking my cancer. The side effects are not stopping me from living a (mostly) normal life. 

  • I'm doing yoga again - been twice in the last week. 
  • Trying to walk three miles a day. Yesterday, we walked over four  - two to breakfast, then to the grocery, and home. 
  • We are sous vide-ing - yesterday, lamb for lunch and the chicken for stir fry dinner. Currently, spare ribs are in the cooker. 

I'm avoiding crowds, especially when my counts are low. But, still doing things when I can. 

Overall, mostly normal. Just won't be breaking out a mini-skirt anytime soon.
