Follow-up visit day findings and results: Gabapentin did not contribute to the 15lb weight gain I have had overall since surgery. The weight gain is from the Tamoxifen. Since my feet are working better, I think I will stop the Gabapentin anyway. I am retaining water and swollen today so I took a hydrocholot pill. See if that helps. I had these for high blood pressure, prior to my surgery, my blood pressure went up and stayed up until surgery. It went back to normal after that. My blood work showed a lack of vitamin D so the Dr. told me to take 1000 per day. My bone scan showed significant bone loss in my hips. Still in normal limits. I can feel this. Isn't that weird. My cholesterol is a bit high. I need to keep walking. It is not as easy as it was when Tristyn was in school. I would drop him off and go. Now, I have to tote him along and he just complains the whole time. I bought the Abs video, I will try it. I keep watching it so I can complain about what I can't do. I still don't smoke but boy do I want to. I don't go back to the City of Hope until July for the hormone shot. Blah! Oh, my mamo was fine. No lumps, no bumps, no cancer.

My follow-up appointments are coming up. Mammogram, bone density, blood work and I think that is it. My bones hurt but I bet the results on the test are fine. I think it is my brain. I have been on Gabapentin, helps a little, but the Aleve and Tylenol help the most. I try to even out when I take the different pills so I don't destroy my liver. I have nicotine fits daily for some odd reason. I quit in January, how odd that I would have a problem six months later. I feel like I have put on 25 pounds since I quit. I haven't been doing the required/recommended walking. Starting again tomorrow. I have to end off a survey from City Of Hope so I had to get into the blog for the details of me meds, I don't remember the dates and meds off the top of my head :-).
