I got up early this morning as I was having trouble breathing and I was starting to cough, so I decided to get up so that I would not wake up Kathleen.
Since I did not get enough sleep last night I was pretty groggy all day. I worked on my taxes for a while today, but since I felt foggy in the head I did not get too much done as I did not want to make any mistakes.
This afternoon I decided to go upstairs and take a nap; well just about the time I was about to doze off the doctor's office called. Since they cannot give the information to anyone but me Kathleen gave me the phone and I talked to the nurse.
She said that the doctor was pleased with my results and that it looked like the pain in my hip was not from the cancer spreading but from degenerative arthritis as he first thought. He mainly wanted to do the blood work to make sure that it was not from the cancer' just to be on the safe side.
I also got my HDL/LDL, Triglycerides and Cholesterol results; I do not remember what the numbers were, but she said that the doctor said that they were okay. From what I do remember the Triglycerides were a little high, but the rest of the numbers were within the normal/good range.
I never did get to take that nap and after laying there for a while I decided to get up and go for a walk. The walk went well and I did not experience any pain in my hip. I have been taking the maximum amount of Tylenol so that may have something to do with it, but maybe it is just getting better.
I have been coughing most of the day and my throat is really sore now; I cannot wait to see what it is going to be like trying to sleep tonight. I also have developed a headache which I do not understand with all the Tylenol how I can have a headache, but I do. I might have to take some extra strength Excedrin to see if I can get rid of it.

That is such good news! I bet you are relieved too!!!
Excederin usually does the trick for my headaches. I've just started using it this past year for headaches that don't seem to go away. Hope it works on yours.
Oh dad! I'm so glad. Hey that rhymes. I hope your body starts healing or at least starts feeling better. I thought about you last night as I went to bed. My aching body... But I'm usually in good shape until the end of the day. I hope you have enough energy to come see us soon.
I was glad to hear that it was not the cancer spreading; somehow that just seems a little more serious than arthritis.
It is funny, I took the Excedrin about an hour ago and my headache seems to be gone.
My body seems to be doing better; even my back has not been hurting as much. I guess I am going to have to keep the Tylenol routine going.
Praise the Lord!! Many prayers were said by all of us.
Dad had arthritis in his back and neck, so you come by it honestly. I have it in my knee. there is always pain, but some days are better than others.
Now, I hope you can get rid of that nasty cold!
