TJ, you are much too kind. I'll tell you what, the tuff old "boot" was taxed beyound all belief Monday and today. Monday was a long long daay at MDA, with and MRI scheduled, and another one today, at noon.
Today was the "compairson" MRI, first hour no added dye, second hour, dye added. I dont remember which dye it was, but it was the "cold" one. I almost made it through to the finsih, but had to hit the panic button long about the end of the 2nd hour. I appologized to the techs for "being a wimp" and hitting the panic button, but I could stand it no longer.
My back hurt and right side hurt so bad, I had to take very shallow breaths, and even that hurt. The techs told me that I had completed the tests and got all the pictures they needed. HALEJULIA ! Didnt matter, I was not going to do it again.
The docs even give me any pain pill I ask for,, but alas and alack, nothing seems to helps. I do get to sleep when DIANE drives us home. I usually wake up arund buccees, just in time to keep her awake the last 20 milesof a 130 mile 2hour round trip home. Midht have to hire a "driver" to give Diane a break.
My beloved, Diane, has gone above and beyond the call of a normal human being, keeping all my appts straignht, and pills on time, and making sure I am being properly cared for at home, ie nutrisios meals, chilidogs, and the like, you know, what I'm taking about, real nutrishious stuff.
And dessert...you remebnered the picture of the peach tree I posted a couple days ago? It had about 30 or so peaches on it. Diane picks a dozen off and made a peach pie. OH MY GOODNESS, I have never had a pie that good ever. Fying saucer pies are dirt compaired to Diane peach pie.
My raving over her pie seemed to lift her sprit, and very notically. I dont do false praise, So she knew it was sincere. I only regret is that the rest of the whorld wont get to sample her pie. I is truly amazing. And frome peaches off our very own peach tree...well duh, it wouldnt be off an apple tree now would it.
I started my 2nd round of chemo Monday night, so I cant go in and raid the Kelvinator on one of my midnight excursionds to bountiful. Chemo is not phun, but radiation is much more worser. I have an OT evaluation tomorrow afternoon, but I think I free on Friday and SAturesday. Well, I'm not free, but chardefgd a small nominal fee.
on Monday, in addition of tghe hour and some change to MDA, it took 30 monutes to fine a parking spot, which throud us behone on our appts. Had lab work done, and the lab waiting room was packed and a line outside the wainting room, down the corridor. Never seen it so crowded, and through us odd even more for my appt with the head of the "head" team.
He couldnt get get lab results when he wanted them, when he should have gotten tehm, which, when they all came in, all were in the exelcenttl range. Not too shabble for a "tough old boot" even if I do say so myself, and I did.
The problem with the lab results and their not being there when Dr DeGroot wanted them, had now been remedyed, my next lab appt is on Jun 27, which a Sunday. Next "head" team appt is on Monday 28. Me thinks. Maybe it's July 28, oh bother, I'll have to consult with my consulting Angel, Diane.
To say I am tired, is putting it mildly, but Diane is going through this too, so she is doubly tired. I wish I could do something REALLY REALLY SPECIAL, for her. She has all the jewelry she wants.
She was suppose to go out of town to Denton for a DKG convention, already booked and ready, but now has decided not to go because she dosnet wt to leave me alone with all the work here, ie dogs and the like, plus I have OT, PT, ST all next week.
I was hoping for her to go so she could get away from me and the dogs, and the work around here, and to mix with her own kind...teachers and friends and normal people...however, she said she be so worried about me, that she wouldnt really enjoy herself. God knew what he was doing when he chose us to be togethere.
We have already been through this before back in 87 only rolls reversed, she had the big C and I was the caregiver. Of course Back then, I was 50 years younger, I had help from the ladies at Oaks so my job was not as hard as what her's is now. Most all the ladies from Oaks from back then, have passed away.
Guess I'm just ramblin on...I apologize for going on and on about my trivial problems, but It has become my life now, for better or for worse, like it or not...I will have to say, that a good thing is that Diane and I have become closer than ever.
Oh my goodness, it's after midnight, all my girls have gone to bed, times for me to hit the hay, hey.
Keep the sun at your six, and "ride boldy ride..."
Your frien and resident resendent, Chephursue R Endeavoring to Persevere...
Uh oh, goona hve to wake diane up to help me get up...been seting too long. Just no end to her misery am I .
