Friday February 11 2011- Day 39

Friday I wake up feeling better as far as not feeling ill but after a fitful night sleep fighting off fever and chills I am exhausted. I stay home from work and spend the entire day in bed trying to get rest and feel better. I call my doctor to see if he can put me on some other kind of medicine. He calls me back and tells me to just stop taking the oxycodone and because I was taking such a low dose (5mg) and still got sick, he cant prescribe anything else for me. He tells me to just take extra strength tylenol and motrin and that's it. This sucks but I have no choice. I take the anti nausea and the allergy med along with 2 motrin and I feel fine the rest of the day. I sleep off and on all day. I have learned a valuable lesson about taking and not taking meds while going through chemo. I wish I hadnt had to learn it so painfully but hey that happens on this journey I guess.
