So it's 8pm on day three of the injections. As I mentioned earlier, I did feel some pain in my lower back and a little in my head, but that was about it. Well, we walked for miles today to visit the Lincoln memorial, Vietnam memorial, Capitol Building tour, Library of Congress, Smithsonian American History museum and the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. For the most part, while I was walking, my lower back felt fine, only occasionally reminding me of why I'm here! There were a few times today that I had to slow down and sit down for a bit. When I sat down, I would really feel the throbbing pain through my back and the lower back part of my head. It really caught up to me by around 4 or 5, slowing me down considerably. It wasn't bad enough to make me want to crawl in bed, but it was very uncomfortable at times. I can remember when I sat down at the Vietnam Memorial wall to get a pencil rubbing of some names, and my head started throbbing really bad.
We had dinner near the hotel and are now laying in bed and feeling very tired. What is difficult is to try to distinguish what is sore from the Filgrastim injections and what is sore from the miles and miles of walking. We did take the train and bus back to the hotel at the end of the day, as we knew we would not be in the mood to walk the three mile hike back.
Tomorrow the weather is going to be quite a bit colder than today, and I'll have to see how I'm feeling to determine if we will go out and do much. I have a feeling we will not do a whole lot, and just get a bunch of rest. We may go see Divergent at the theaters, that would not be too hard on me.
It was very cool seeing so many historical things today. Also standing in the places where so much history for our country was made was just awesome. Time for some rest, one more day then it's time for the donation!
