Good morning

Feeling better. Plenty damaged from the cancer and the  treatments, but not sick. Not sick is good.

Sandra and Bob and Carol came to visit yesterday. Unfortunately I had become dizzy and stayed that way most of the day. A very distressing symptom. Hoping it will get better. So much radiation into the brain.  Over 10 mets so far.

Katie is getting fixed this morning. No breakfast. Poor girl. She is lying where her food bowl sits empty. She'll get lots of treats when she gets home.

One week before Christmas. Eric is will be in Greenville at his girlfriend's. On Dec. 30 we are planning to attend The Mantras/YMBFBB show at the Neighborhood Theater. I, so very much, miss live music. Only live music can reach parts of my soul.

Now that I'm better I'll start back on the physical health regime. More walking and eventually back to the gym. Then decide how to spend my time, finding something to do. I think I'll start by being open to new ideas and experiences.

Ain't dead yet.

i didn't know a person could feel so relieved

Brain guy killed last tumor on Monday. Oncologist reports no cancer on scans of the body today. Christmas remission. Sweet present from the universe.

Now I guess I gotta get back in shape. I can make some plans now that I'll be here a while longer. Amsterdam? London? New Orleans? Jamaica?

Put me in a wheel chair, get me on a plane, hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane.

Woopee

5:43am

Wow, I have been remiss in posting the boring details of my life. But, here I am.

Woke this morning at 4:45. Almost 7 hours of sleep was all I could manage having gone to bed at 9:45. Feeling surprisingly well.

Sunday I had my CT scan. Checking for cancer below the head. I'll get the results on Thursday. Hate waiting to hear. Certainly a bit nervous.

Had stereotactic radiation treatment for the 5th met (brain tumor) yesterday. The treatments for the first 4 were in August. Doc said no new tumors were observed. I am hoping for remission for Christmas. I am so frigging tired of cancer. I just need a break. I would like to feel better.

I have been feeling a little numbness and the left side of my mouth/face. I asked Dr. Barri about this and he scurried out of the room muttering, "We may have done that." Wonder what else the might have done in treating me that I am attributing to something else.

Katie is getting "fixed" today. After seeing Dr. K on Tuesday, I have no plans and nothing scheduled for the holiday.

4 years 6 months since the first tumor found. "No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition." Still Alive.
