All be good. Angela got a pain block in her shoulder. It's a RF (radio frequency) they inject into the joint. Wild concept. She's sleeping better and has much less pain. It's supposed to work for a couple of months, enough time for her to get through a couple more chemo's.
She's happy about it. I'm doing what I can to prevent her from doing cartwheels.

She's feisty...keeping me entertained.

Post chemo...all is well.
We assume the leg pain was due to large dose of sodium given prior to infusion. The salt makes her retain water thus swelling puts pressure on the necrotic areas of the bone. Okay; makes sense...her bones are like barometers.

oy...the complexities of being an Angel on oyth...

Had chemo yesterday. Came home feeling fine, woke up with severe bone pain again, now down through her ankles. Don't understand why, no steroids...keeping an eye on her.

Doc says to definitely schedule shoulder surgery for may/april...

Angela is well...
Monday is infusion #3. It's now becoming routine...

After looking into shoulder replacement she may delay the operation until next fall. The recovery time for a normal (I'm glad we don't fit in that category) replacement is about 4 months. It's hard to say whether or not they will run into any snags as they did with her hips. It may be better to enjoy the summer (gardening). She'll end up getting a few pain blocks to help her get through till the surgery. Here's a link that gives some insight into the process.

Today is a good day, cold, a couple inches of snow on the ground, pretty. Happiness prevails.

As for the image:
The ancient embrace photo is of a young Italian neolithic 5000-6000bc couple. It's a rare find, males and females were never buried together. Ancient lovers...still caressing one another's faces...

"I'm no longer on lock-down"... Angela says.
She is now off home care and is able to get out into the real world, in between chemo treatments. She's been going stir-crazy. For kicks we went grocery shopping and took our recycling to the drop off station...
Ahh, the simple pleasures in life...
