Returning home from the Cancer Center, I was waiting for the home care nurse to hook me up to "Desert" ( My forty six hour infusion of 5FU). Speaking on the phone with a friend I had a slight cough, just the type you would have to clear your throat.
Immediately I felt discomfort in both eyes, discomfort quickly increased to blinding pain, the telephone dropped out of my hand to the desk and for an seven seconds I held my head with both hands begging for it would stop. It did and Thankfully it hasn't happened again.
Waking up at four AM this morning I tried to remember if I had ever experienced similar pain. For those who know me I could write volumes but I can narrow it down quite a bit.
Splitting Firewood with a sledge and wedge, the sledge whacking the wedge, launching it solidly to a shin.
Burns, not just the "Standard" hot water, hot pan, no a rock solid first or second degree
Not even the time I had to have a friend use a pair of pliers to pull a broken tree limb out of the top of my head (he had to pull real hard) compared to the intensity of pain I had yesterday.
Whew.......... Mike
