This is one of those reflective days. I woke up strong. And tired of being a victim. I showed up at the hospital at 8:30 am to get the blood work done and finally got out around 2:30 pm. I got smart this time and took the naseau pill as soon as I got home. Other than my fingers feeling like needles I am doing ok so far.
Confound it all - the nurse called to say I didn't qualify for the fatigue study because that particular study is only for patients that are taking "curative treatment". So what I am I taking - obviously the "non-curative" treatment. Hmmpphh. Now I am really starting to get irritated. That's a good thing in my mind. If I am starting to get cranky about being a victim, tired of the talk about "can't be cured", and strong enough to get that attitude of "I'll show you, just get out of my way because here I come" going then I know I am getting better.
We finally figured out where we can get a brace for my foot. Leah was home this weekend and twice I stubbed my toes hard on the floor - ouch - that hurt - because the foot dropped and I forgot to pick it up. I doubt I wear it in the house but it sure would be nice to not have to take the cane on my walks. It makes me feel like an old man - and I don't like the way people look at me. Time to toughen up.
I sent Sandy on a hamburger run. For some reason a good old hamburger and fries sounds good tonight. With some of the Orange Crush Leah got for me. Hoorah - let's eat.
Stay tuned - Gary
