I got back from Washington DC on Sunday night, slept into Monday, and on Tuesday got my first bone strengthening infusion. I was fine until Wednesday morning when I became quite unwell, like all my ‘regular’ symptoms were amplified.
I cancelled everything for Wednesday then Thursday and finally Friday too. But then when I woke up to pee at 2am Thursday night/Friday morning, I was so much better, still weaker than I was before the infusion but doubtless better. The information booklet warned of side-effects of the infusion (columns of them!) so I wasn’t freaking out, especially in retrospect now that I know it was just a couple days. What a relief, oh my goodness, per the booklet side effects can last from a few days to a few weeks.
Piling on, I’m also taking an antibiotic for a UTI! On Tuesday I told the doctor something was wrong in my world of peeing. He told me it was a side-effect of the pills. I thought .. maybe .. but I asked him, please, do a urine test. Et voilá, UTI.
Windy and I are leaving on our two-week road trip on Monday and I’m so extra happy to be feeling up for it!
