The past few days have been horrible and wonderful at the same time.
Thursday morning I woke up at 5am with a HUGE pain in the butt (literally). After 3 hours of agony (i was vocalizing pain), I called the doctor, who made room for me in his schedule at 10am.
The plans were to leave Thursday morning for Nashville, and we were worried we might not get to go. Fortunately, the doctor was able to help us, and gave me a shot of Neulasta to help build my immune system and neutrophils back up to fix the source of the pain. He also gave me a powerful prescription to reduce the pain while the neutrophils were fixing the problem.
Fortunately, the drugs were effective, and I did not have a pain in the butt New Year’s Weekend. Yay!
It was a wonderful weekend. We had gotten someone to decorate the Blue Spruce Christmas tree that Jacqui’s parents planted in their backyard 23 years ago with Christmas lights, and it looked wonderful!
The highlight of the weekend was New Year’s Eve with the Nashville Symphony at the newly renovated Schermerhorn Symphony Hall. It had not been open since the bad flooding back in May. It looked wonderful, and the symphony sounded amazing!
Sunday morning: Apparently I have an immune system now, as evidenced by the pain I am feeling in my pelvis from my bone marrow producing THOUSANDS of neutrophil white blood cells. No pain, no gain, right? I hope it’s worth it.
I’m looking forward to eating a salad soon…
