Hi Connie, Hope your doing a little better each day. So happy to see you posting. Keep posting, it's a great way to stay focused, help others & well for me at least , a great way to stay in touch with the outside world.Hang in there sweetie. Love & hugs. My thoughts & prayers are with you. later....
Thanks, everyone. I feel like I have been to hell and am finally coming back. The past 2 days have been better. Pain, nausea, inability to focus, sleeping 23 out of 24 hours...they have all decreased just in the last 2 days. Jennifer, I slept most of the time my sister was here--it wasn't time for fun--but just the fact that she was here and gave me moral support felt wonderful. I also appreciate the prayers from everyone.
Hugs,
Connie

Hi Connie,I can only imagine how bad you feel but am very happy to hear you are gradually getting a little stronger & feeling a little better each day. I'm also really glad to hear the pain is easing up a little too. I know the pain associated with the liver can get pretty rough.All of this was no fun for you but I'm glad your sister was there for you to support you & yes the support & love would be very comforting for you. My thoughts & prayers continue for you. Hugs. later.....
Hi Connie, how have you been doing? i hope you are getting stronger with each passing day. Hang in there & NEVER give up hope hon. Love & Hugs. My thoughts & prayers are with you always. later....
Lerie, thanks for asking. I felt great the past couple of days, with a return of energy and little pain. I felt kind of "off" today, but even "normal" people have those. I'm doing better this evening...and tomorrow's another day. ;)
Hugs,
Connie

Connie, My prayers continue! Hope the treatment is doing the desired results! Is the appetite coming back? Is the pain under control?

"Is the appetite coming back? Is the pain under control? "
The answer to both questions is yes, Teresa. I am being bothered by pain from my other problems: Neck and back arthritis, plus the chronic hip problem. I am going to get my heating pad and use that for a bit on my neck and back. It will help.
Hugs,
Connie

Thanks, Marge and Trish. I've had chronic pain for so long, if I suddenly didn't have it I would think I had inhabited someone else's body. ;)
I'm enjoying this little respite from testing. I believe the next will be an angiogram the first week in May.
Bless you all,
Connie

Hope you get a few good days soon. Love & HUGS. My thoughts & prayers are with you. later....
Hi Connie,
Glad to hear the appetite and liver pain are controlled. I do know how the chronic pain thing goes. It is good to hear you are gaining more energy!

Thanks, Lerie and Teresa. I got out for the first time since the chemoembolization--2 weeks! I just did some banking and had a pedicure, but it was good to get out. I didn't enjoy it as much as I normally would because of back spasms. I came home and got on my heating pad, and that has helped. It will pass in a day or two.
Hugs,
Connie
