Pain Management

Did not sleep last night as the pain is too much. Went to the hospital and they wanted to give me morphine but I don't want. I have been Asking God to manage my pain as Jesus went to the cross for this sort of thing and I do not like to take medication. Thus far I get along fine, but this week has been difficult. I told the Dr. I will actually start taking Ibuprofen on a daily basis which is a big deal for me, and I refuse to lay away in bed all doped up with the morphine option. Nothing special on the chest x-ray, so that is good news. Bumped into Ms Parp (July 27 post) and she said that she was taken off chemo as her disease is "stable", this is great news! I expect when I see her next she will have more good news!
