Hi all, yes I am feeling better today, I had my hydrocortisone needle in my wrecked shoulder yesterday, but not as good a result, I think it had something to do with the radiologist who yanked on it when I was having my knee X-rayed, then to top it off, on the way out yesterday I had another sudden drop on the step and of all things Ron had his left arm full and me he was holding on my bad shoulder and next thing I know I am being strung up by that arm, the Dr who did it, I call a "Hit & Run" once the needle was in he was off, whereas the one before made sure the stufff had circulated and checked my range of movement, and if that wasn't enough while I was getting dressed I though I my as well go to the loo, and sure enough I couldn't get up from the loo and ended up on the floor, again, knickers around my ankles no top on, I managed to hit one of the call buttons, I could only just reach it and turns out it was the call everyone alarm, and the one I needed was down real low, who would have thought, I turned out OK, a nurse came in and got me decent and a young man had to help me up, they were very gentle, and of course the good old jeans were used as a handle. So at the moment I think I must be getting over the pains of everything, so I am adding the Liquid Ordine (morphine) as a back stop. I am to start my Radiation tonight, 1 of 10 and tomorrow Saturday I am having an Echo done so fingers crossed my heart is better than last time, it is just so frustrating that I can't just get in my car and do what I want to do, when I want to. The house work is showing as being a bit of a strain on the family, now I think they realise what I used to do which was a lot. So I post when I can, and I am back on 1 steroid a day otherwise I just can't even get out of bed, I love my sleep but I hate having to get up for the loo, the steroid makes it worse, but at least everying is still working. I have also faxed a letter to the Hospital who was looking at putting me on the Trial, it was at the same time my neck was marching but we didn't know, so hopefully it is the Lapatinib, it said that this hospital was in a trial, I also thing that by having the steroid it makes me weepy and I haven't found the burst of energy yet. Will keep you all informed of my progress, a bit sad when I am laying down I can't even be bothered looking at my watch for the time, everything is an effort at the moment.
Love & Hugs and thanks everyone
Lyn
