More on Neuropathy

So here's the short of it,
More thoughts on neuropathy.

And here's the long

Today I'm feeling pretty OK, but I've got a chill, my feet are really bothering me and I feel a bit of tightness in my chest.  I am so grateful that I'm heading on the uphill road from Chemotherapy.  I may just stay in tomorrow and try to rest and relax. 

I worked for awhile this morning.  We are losing a teacher to retirement (I'm so happy for her), and need to have someone ready to step into that position right away.  So I went in to do some screenings.  My work buddies took really good care of me.  All the people we spoke to were told ahead of time that I couldn't shake hands, Alecia wiped down the conference table before I went in, and they were very watchful to make sure I wasn't overdoing.  I didn't open any doors or touch anything and I was really attentive to not doing anything to get germs!

My feet are continuing to give me problems.  I'm experiencing a pins and needles feeling every once in awhile.  It's like when my feet have gone to sleep and I'm trying to put weight on them.  When they're not feeling like that, they feel really strange.  They feel swollen, and I really don't have a good sense of where they are.  It makes walking hard; I find it very frustrating.  I am beginning to notice this in my fingers and particularly my thumbs as well as in the palms of my hands.One of my frustrations about all this is the story I keep hearing that it takes a long time to go away.

I am really pretty exhausted and think I'll probably not have much trouble sleeping tonight.
