Emma's legs and hips are pretty sore today. Blood cells are made in
bones, and some of the heavy producers are, as I understand it, long
bones and hips. That is, legs and hips. This is the pain that made her
limp and brought us to this place. Partly the increased discomfort is
because Day 1 Chemo is attacking the cancer where it is: in those sore
bones. And also, as I understand the theory, because it is the
progression of the symptoms of leukemia.
2 weeks ago she complained
of pain. 10 days ago she was limping some. Last week she was stumping
around and not wanting to walk. Saturday she had a serious limp. Today
she want to be carried to the bathroom.
If we hadn't come in on Saturday, I think we would be here now. Just without the cool Life Flight tour.
True or not true, cannot be proven either way.
But the way I figure it, we'd be here.
