Feeling Stronger Every Day
Happy New Year to all!!
It has been three weeks today since my surgery. Although I had been on somewhat a plateau with a few set-backs for the past week, as I approached the weekend (and the New Year holiday) I started to improve again and the pain is much less. I even went to Six Flags with my daughter this past Saturday (on the only day that was reasonably warm) and rode some rides. Although I was concerned that might be too much, I did quite well. And the next day I felt better, not worse. I have actually had some time with virtually no pain over the past couple of days and that has not been the case since the surgery. Although the soreness and aching comes and goes, the shooting sharp pains have stopped.
I am not as tired now as I was before and will be ready to return to work as planned, on the 3rd. I am getting stronger and better every day and think in another week ALL the pain and discomfort will be gone.
I just changed insurance companies, effective today, and will be moving some of my medical care including a change of PCP (primary care physician) although I understand the oncology/radiology practice I have already been working with has recently added my new insurance so I can continue as planned as far as treatment of my cancer ... this is good news.
While I am feeling the pressure of not making much money for the past month, I have paid up all my medical bills and got through all the extra expenses of Christmas okay. I am going to submit an additional claim on my AFLAC cancer policy to tide me over until my next paycheck.
I am hoping for a better 2018 where my cancer is in remission by mid-year at the latest and no further treatments are deemed necessary. For you all, I am wishing for a prosperous, healthy and happy new year.
