WOW!  This chemo brings on a whole lot of pain! 
I had a nice Saturday with my whole family!  I was able to have enough energy to go to Libertyville to watch my brother shave his head for St. Baldrick's.  He rose a huge amount of money for the charity and we were all able to go and support him in this!  We also took the opportunity to take a picture of Uncle Baldy and Mommy Baldy together... my poor mom has two bald kids for different reasons but at least we both know we are going to enjoy getting our hair back.  The girls enjoyed the experience and we were able to have a fun time on a chemo weekend which is rare.
The pain started happening on Saturday evening.  But then it became almost unbearable on Sunday afternoon.  It does feel like every nerve ending in my body has pain shooting through it.  I now have a prescription pain med which is making life easier today.  I was warned about this side effect BUT I would have never imagined it could be this bad!  Thank goodness for medicine!
Today is a rest and relaxation day so that I am up to getting back to life tomorrow!
