Today I was tube free. No Chemo, no antibiotics, no blood, no water, no nothin’. Beside that Not much else really happened. May and I took a nice walk and I actually went outside for the first time in over a week. Then came back to my room and talked until she had to leave.
I thought I was back in control of my emotions but apparently not. At some point in the afternoon I was reminded of a touching little story from someone’s Facebook post years ago. Its sent me to tears and then I finally got to see the Gordon Ramsey show where he fixes up Ellicott City, MD after the flood. That’s about a fifteen-minute drive from my parents house. Again with the water works. I should check and see if I got chemo or hormones.
I suspect that this blog could get pretty dull if I keep filling it with the same mundane things that happen to me every day. So, I am trying to think of ways to keep us entertained, informed and inspired that are not dependent on whether I am hooked up to a machine or have a fever.
On the bright side
The nectarines this year seem to be exceptionally sweet and juicy. I love it.
