The side-effects of treatment this time are tolerable. I've been taking the anti-inflammatory drug Celebrex to control the aches and pains, and overall it is working. My heels and knees have been somewhat achey, but not too bad. It does raise the question of what to wear on my feet the weekend of June 27, Rebecca's wedding. I have a feeling high heel shoes will not be an option for me. I guess I'll have to go look for something low and flat (and cushioned).
The other side-effect from treatment, which seems to have no rhyme nor reason, is the hot flashes and subsequent chills I get in the night. I was told in general I could experience these menopausal-type symptoms and last night was one of those nights where I woke up feeling far too warm to sleep and the shivering because I was too cold. I guess this is what is in store for me down the road.
Overall, I'm doing well, although I had hoped the aches would be unnoticeable (one can always hope, right?). Rob and I went for a drive yesterday and got groceries last night. He's now waiting for our friend Kevin and the boys are going to the golf course for the afternoon. I think I'll just curl up and read.
