i went into this weeks chemo a little more tired but was feeling pretty good when i left there on monday. However, yesterday morning when i woke up, i felt a stinging pain on the heel of my right foot. when i went to move the covers, i felt the pain in a few places. The back of my hands, and the bottom of both heels. i then saw rashes in those areas, and the spot at the back of the heel looked more like a sore.
i spent the day at the doctors having some tests to make sure it wasn’t anything critical, and was cleared. The plan was to start taking the meds for the neuropathy and see if it was connected to that. And just to make it a little more challenging, i hit my right heel on a blunt object last night, causing even more pain, and what appears to be a blood blister under the skin in the middle of the rash. fun times.
Good news/bad news. The meds worked on my fingers and toes. They feel much better, there is still some tingling and pain there, but it has been reduced! However it didn’t make a dent on the pain in my hands and heels. The rash is still there and i can’t put any weight on my feet/heels in order to walk normal. i am ok when sitting still with my feet propped up, and since the pain in my hand is on the back of my hand, I can still type. 🙂 But any other type of movement (changing position, putting a blanket on my legs, trying to get up or walk) is very painful and challenging. This is obviously not a normal side effect. i have a call into the doctor, but am asking for prayer for a miracle! Thursdays have always been my “rough” day, so this has to go away today!
Praying for God to take this away, and for HIM to be glorified!
And praying if He chooses not to, that He reveals what i am supposed to do with this, and that He is still glorified!
