Had a little scare today. I think I scared myself more than anything. But when something new comes up, or I have some new symptom it just really freaks me out!! I started feeling yuck at work this afternoon. Came home for lunch and my heart felt like it was about to beat out of my chest. So I took my blood pressure and it was okay, but my heart rate was like 111. Well my heart rate goes up like that quit a bit, so it didn't bother me too much. Well I took my temp and it was 100.9!! Okay RED LIGHT!! Since day one I've been told if I have a temp I need to be looked at because temps usually mean infection somewhere, and thats a BIG no with someone in my condition. So I called my Clinical Nurse and she advised me to go to the ER to get checked out. Blood test were run, and x-rays were took. The PA that was working the ER called and talked to my nurse and went over everything. They decided I was okay to go home. My nurse in Houston said that it's probably just side effects of the pills I'm taking. But it was a good idea to go get checked out just in case. Kind of irritated me because I wasn't aware that a temp and the chills could be a side effect. If I would have known that I probably wouldn't have freaked out so much. Think my heart rate was a steady 140 when I went in. They filled me full of 2 bags of fluids and I was outta there. I've also been having a lot of aching in my legs, and this morning when I got out of bed I noticed it had went down to my feet. I'm thinking the aching is probably some type of the "chills". I dunno, I'm no doctor, but my legs are killing me and that's what I'm diagnosing myself with lol. Still not feeling to hot. Just took a warm bath to see if it would help my legs, but no luck. Fixing to get out the heating pad. I'll try anything. If anyone has any suggestions throw them my way.
Everything else is going okay. We leave Monday for Houston. I go for restaging and will find out that Thursday if the meds are working. Everyone keep their fingers, toes, arms.....everything crossed for me! I need good news!!
