Julie texted me today to ask for prayers. I thought you all should be aware since you are her fan club.

“I’ve been having lots of pain for the last week (joint, muscle, and nerves in my hands, arms and abdomen). It’s been so miserable. It started with the cold weather, but it’s not gotten better as it warmed up, so now I don’t think it’s related. It’s actually getting worse. I suspect it’s the new chemo. So I called the doctor yesterday. He didn’t say much except to take higher doses of Tylenol and ibuprofen. I see him next Thursday before chemo. I also have an appointment with the therapist on Tuesday to see if that will help.

I’m tired of hurting so much. I can’t live like this for 7 more months. 😫 They may have to switch me to different drugs, which I had before and know they give me other side effects.

My good news is I got my first Covid vaccine yesterday.”

I did ask her if she is able to work through this. She said, “I’m still working. Playing the piano helps relieve some of the pain. And it’s a distraction from it.”

 I told her to let me know if she needs anything and I will let you all know as well.

Thanks for following Julie's Journey!
