When I was in Hawaii last week, I noticed that I didn't have any bone pain. I figured the warm weather was responsible, because I've noticed during previous trips to Hawaii that my bone pain goes away.
But then just this afternoon, I was working (slowly, mind you) and playing in the backyard with Connie--pulling weeds, scooping poop, and adding the rotting vegis from the fridge to my compost bin--and I realized that I have no pain at all. None. Zippo.
So thank all the gods and goddesses for radiation therapy, which is a bitch to go through, but it works.
I skimmed back through my "pain" category and I realized that I've been in pain since some time in December, pain so bad that I couldn't sleep, so bad that I had to walk with a cane.
I don't think I'm going to retire my cane, but maybe I'll use it for fashion, rather than to help get myself in and out of the car and to walk from place to place. And as soon as I have just a little bit more energy I'm going to start walking Connie again. I need to keep pushing.

Dear Jeanne -
What a great "painless" report! Maybe the flu had an unintended good side effect of keeping you resting and allowing the radiated area to heal perhaps a little faster with less stress on it.
Anyway, so happy to hear this. Bodes well for anyone else who may have to go through a similar treatment.
