I'm feeling much stronger. Today I actually cleaned my kitchen! I did a load of dishes, and took apart and scraped/scrubed the cook-top, under the burners, and the drip pans and burner/pan grids. Before today, I couldn't stand to be on my feet long enough to unload and load the dishwasher, without my back hurting so bad I had to go sit down. I also rode out to the farm with my friend Amy, and we fed the horses, and I actually saddled up and rode Indy for about 45 min to an hour. I may have overdone things, as my back was hurting some when I got home, but not nearly as bad as it has been. I think the shot that I got last week, for boosting my white cells, has helped my bones all over. My back has been hurting really badly since my treatment started, and I didn't know if it was the treatment or not. I now think it is the treatment, and the shot has helped.
