Second Verse, Mercifully NOT the Same as the First
The second infusion in this round of treatment did not result in dire gastrointestinal symptoms lasting for days. I suspected this would be the case when Brian started exhibiting the same symptoms I'd had (he's never been squeamish about taking care of me and has not ever shown signs of "sympathy pains") later in the week.
I felt a little bad about it--I didn't want to rejoice that he was feeling so crummy, but on the other hand,
w00t! Influenza! so much for my flu shot
Thank all that is holy. I feel fine today.
There is no word yet on what to do about my braces. I did have an orthodontic appointment Monday, at which I shared my concern about my teeth on Zometa with the orthodontist. He has not seen me very long (my original orthodontist moved to California), and has no basis for comparison regarding the movement of my teeth. He's not personally familiar with Zometa, so I gave him Lita's contact information. She's not personally familiar with braces. I don't know that they are going to be able to come to any conclusions and suspect it will be a matter of observation and slow decision-making. I am to return in four weeks and have "superchains" on my teeth right now rather than the usual "powerchains." I wonder if there is such a thing as "superdooperchains" or not. I might need them.
