Hints of hope

The last two days have been quiet.  I'm still mostly in bed, but I read a lot which I wasn't able to do last week when the pain level was so high.  I'm beginning to notice slight changes from day to day. Today I woke up to prepare my own breakfast again and I was less wobbly when I moved through the house.  I seem to have found a reasonable balance between the various meds so that I get the maximum pain relief.  I had no idea, when I met with the radiation oncologist last October, that the aftermath would be the most debilitating treatment I've had thus far.  The ultimate worst!
