Christmas vacation

I am at my parents' house with Ken. We are leaving here tomorrow to spend Christmas with his family in Wildwood.

I haven't been feeling well. I have been coughing constantly and vomiting too. I really can't breathe when I am laying down. At best, I am wheezing constantly. It is terrifying to not be getting air in.

Somehow Percocet stops the cough so there is some relief. 

A few days ago, I had physical therapy for the first time sinice the accident. I was fatigued from wearing my leg down my steps and to Ken's car, and from the car to the mat room at therapy. I explained the accident and my injuries.the therapist decided to just do stretches. As I explained the pain, the therapist said she was worried about injuries and said she wouldn't work on the leg until I had an MRI.

Friday, I saw my primary care doctor a d re-explained the accident. He prescribed me painkillers, an MRI for my little leg, and an appointment for an optometrist. He said he chest tube scar looked good.

Thank you for all of your well wishes and holiday greetings. I have been spending my time laying around, watching television and movies.

Recovery

My folks drove me back to Philly last Wednesday. 

I had chemo on Friday. My little leg has been hurting from my pelvic bones through the muscles. Percocet helps only a little. I have had very few pain free moments in the last few weeks. I think it is getting worse too. Dr. Rubin said we would do scans on it if it still hurts in 2 weeks.

I stayed with Ken until today so that he could help me with eating and everything. I am so grateful to him. I have been feeling like I am a burden on my loved ones because I need so much help. They reassure me, but I struggle with bad feelings lately. Being in constant pain is a downer!

I took a painkiller a little bit ago and am watching a cheesy Christmas romantic comedy. I can feel the waves of numbness starting. I am tired of being sick and in pain.
