New sensations

So it's a Monday and work called again today. This call I was more than happy to answer, since it gives me something to think about.

I was also party to two new sensations today. I have a tingling in my fingers, and strangely, the tip of my tongue. I've been told that this is a result of one of the chemo meds, though the nurse had not heard of tingling of the tongue. I don't know if it will continue or go away - I must say it's a little disconcerting.

My second, new, and most unwelcome sensation was a pressure at the base of my spine - a result, I've been informed, of the neupogen shots designed to boost my white blood cell count. The pain started out small this morning, and by 4 this afternoon nearly had me in tears. It's almost like someone is trying to squish the base of my spine. It hurts something fierce, I've gotta say - and pain pills don't seem to do the trick.  I go see the doc tomorrow for more info, and I'll register my displeasure at this unwelcome development.  I'm sure he'll get right on a solution for it :). Well, at least it's a result of my body getting better, right?

Well, enough moaning about the petty aches and pains of life. I think tonight would be good to go watch a movie.
