The Waiting Game
I hate waiting.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned that before.
My pain from the swollen lymph nodes is back with a vengeance and it’s making me very uncomfortable. Not only does it hurt up in my groin, but it spreads around my hip and down my leg, both inner and outer thigh. There are new areas of numbness as well.
I’m not very good at recovery. Many things have conspired against me (as usual). This time: huge blistery rash all up and down my back from the epidural and use of Tegaderm. 
Giant bruises from line in my wrist. 
Adhesive from tape caused rashes on my wrist and neck. An extra dose of Norco pain meds caused a rash, and I’m bruised all over my belly from the Lovenox shots I have to give myself every day. Is it any wonder I’m worried about treatment?
Tomorrow I’m going to get up for the first time in over 2 weeks and take the boys to school and attempt to go to work for a little while. Given my pain level last night and today, I doubt I’ll make it very long, but I have to try.
