Got two scans coming up on Monday, 9th:
GWSM US ANKLE BRACHIAL INDICES EXTREMITY LIMITED
This scan is to check the blood flow in my legs and feet to see if the flow is so low that it is impacting my leg and feet pain.
GWSM CT CHEST ABDOMEN PELVIS W CONTRAST
This scan is to check the status of my cancer and of course, the hope is for no new nodules and no growth in the existing cancer nodules.
Please send me your prayers for this scan.
And then there's the Oxy!
oxyCODONE-acetaminophen 10-325 mg per tablet
Commonly known as: PERCOCET, ENDOCET
Oxycodone is a very worrisome medication.
The Lyrica that I take for my leg and foot pain works great, but because my dosage is maxed out on the Lyrica something is needed as a supplement, so that's where the Oxy comes in. For some years now the dosage level has been 5mg tabs taken up to two times a day as needed but sadly, of late, that is just not getting the job done, so my Dr. bumped me up to 10mg tabs up to two times a day. I've never checked to see what the upper limit is for this med because, for all of these years I've not used very much of the meds, my last refill for a 30 day supply actually lasted me seven months and the refill before that lasted me a year. I would take 1-2 tabs a week at most with a rare week a few times a year when I would take up to three tabs in one week.
But now, for the past two months, my condition seems to be getting worse with my two tab days getting to be more and more often and for the past three weeks I've been taking at least one tab almost every day! So, on Thursday Dr. Vanessa bumped me up to the 10mg tabs... hopefully this will return some balance to my routine.
