Survivor week 37 day 3

We got up and had a protein breakfast. Then we had a doctors appointment with the leg doctor. He said no broken bones. No sprain. He did x ray and it showed no arthritis. He wants Barbara to do a bone density test.

He felt that the pain was from myopathy He was surprised that Barbara was not using any pain medicine. He suggested one medicine but the oncologist did not want to use it as it would cause blood issues. So he prescribed a medicine that may not take the pain away but it will take the edge off the pain. So that is where we are tonight. Barbara has taken one dose of the medicine and it did not take the pain away. We will talk to the oncologist on Wednesday to see if we can go to the other pain medicine.

Barbara is still eating good and is having lots of protein. She gets blood work done tomorrow. We travel to Dallas tomorrow and have an appointment at 9:00 Wednesday.

Leanna and Brian were planting flowers and Barbara was just watching. At least she got some fresh air.

Thanks for all your prayers
