Besides getting a foot and a half of snow in my yard, yesterday was a funny day. Much of the day I had flu-like symptoms – muscle aches, tiredness (not like chemo fatigue), and when I finally took my temperature in mid-afternoon it was a bit elevated – 99.8. Since my normal temperature is mid 98’s there was something afoot. Since you are supposed to call the Docs if your temperature hits 100.5, I had visions of that happening and then being told "Come down and see us, ASAP." <\/p>\n
Luckily the temp never went higher than that, and started down late in the evening. By this morning I felt perfetly fine and my temp was 98.4. So I think I may have gotten a transient virus (from my kids?) which quickly disappeared.<\/p>\n
Today I feel good – the best since I was discharged. Much less chemo fatigue and apetite a bit better. Definitely going in the right direction.<\/p>\n
At the moment I am not allowed to shovel snow (comes under the definition of the forbidden "heavy lifting"). When Brigid went out to do it, two of our neighbors, Cory and Howard, displayed a perfect sense of timing by showing up and clearing everything, with the aid of Howard’s snowblower. Thank you Cory and Howard! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
