Tuesday Musings

According to those closest to me, I no longer look like death warmed over! Starting Friday I have worked hard to remain hydrated and somewhat nourished. My diet is mostly clear still with chicken broths, ginger ale and weak teas. But yesterday I was supposed to add some poultry, and I did. My good friend Sandi came over after work and we headed to Panera Bread. I got the soup/sandwich combo. A chicken soup with a smoked turkey on foccaccia. Skipped all the veggies on the sandwich and opted for mustard only. Okay, it isn't digesting really, but I did not end up writhing in pain last night either. In fact, I was starving!

Thanks for Susan-Sitting again Sandi!!!

Radiation continues with daily regularity. The therapist team is having to make some minor adjustments due to my weight loss. They will check today's X-rays to confirm that they are zapping all the right places. Wednesday is Radiation Oncologist day, so Dr. Mary Ann will double check all the angles and check my skin [which is much happier lately.] Thursday morning is the GI specialist appointment. What a fun life I have!

Today was supposed to be our first major snow storm, but it has been cancelled due to lack of interest. However, the warnings were cancelled after my afternoon client delayed our meeting so I get to spend the afternoon at home in my office working. A snow day without the snow. What a deal.

And so life just continues, a stream of medical appointments, work, and family. This is the new normal for now.
