I now know the cumulative effect of Taxol. I have had days of intense pain - mostly in my legs. The pain began on the day after the infusion, Thursday, and increased over the next two days. I have been very grateful for the pain medication.
Yesterday was better and I suspect that today will be very much like yesterday - I need to stay down in order to minimize the pain. The muscles of my arms and legs seem to be weak and they are exhausted with little use. Walking or standing causes a deep rumbling from within my legs and feet that increases unless I quickly lie down.
My mind is less exhausted and more clear this morning - an indication that this time will soon be over. So ... today I will dance away in my mind and heart and that's not a bad thing because through my imagination I am the most graceful ballerina! Oh yes, it is where I can sing good too so maybe I will also do some singing today :)!

Go girl go and dance away in your mind .. for in just days your body will be dancing and nothing will stop it :-) This is the "hard place" and if you can dance through this week you are incredible! Your positive attitude and strong faith has gotten you through times some people can't go through - but you my friend mastered it! You took the negative and you made it work for you - to allow you to grow to be even more like your Creator! I'm so proud of you!!!
