Miserable Week

This has been a miserable week after starting Ixempra.  I read the side effects and I didn’t get them all, thank goodness.  The ones I did get were extreme. 

Every muscle and joint ached, a meal more than two tablespoons caused a stomach ache, a head ache persisted for five days, and the buzzing in my ears almost drowned out the TV.  Strange jabs and stabs of pain that make me jump now and then. 

I took a lot of naps and now have permission to take two Vicodin (Hydrocodon-Acetaminophen 5-500) every six hours.  One just wasn’t doing it. 

So on the news yesterday was an article that said people are taking a lot of Vicodin and becoming addicted.  I don’t care, so there.

So not much got done except laying on the couch and taking pills. 

I stirred myself yesterday to ride along with Lory to a couple of garage sales.  The GPS got us lost and twisted up.  Of course I haven’t gotten new maps for it since I bought it several years ago.  I have a new Tom Tom so I will get it out and use it after this.

We had a frost warning last night and now a freeze warning for tonight.  I have nothing outside to worry about.  Another month and I’ll put my house plants outside.

There was a large onion trying to grow in the refrigerator so I had Lory plant it in a bucket on the back deck.  We will see how it does in an outside refrigerator.

Here’s hoping things get better from here.

later….
