Just received the fourth round of Filgrastim injections. The nurse asked the usual questions for any symptoms, and when I mentioned how much walking we did yesterday she was very surprised that I was out and about that much on day three. I did mention that I did have to slow down at times, and that I was uncomfortable here and there, but it was all worth it. She did say that by the end of the day today I may be feeling a little worse. I still feel discomfort today in my lower back, but the area that has been the worst for me is just behind my ears, where the bone is at the base of my skull. This area has been throbbing the most. The area that they have been giving the injections was a little sensitive by the end of the day yesterday, and is still sore today.
My recipient has been on my mind yesterday and today. I can't imagine what they are going through, and hope that my donation brings them healing and comfort.
I will update again later today. Here are a couple of pictures I took yesterday. One is the ceiling in the Library of Congress, and the other is just a scene I captured at the Vietnam Memorial Wall.
