I’m rewired sans malware/virus and grateful to have The tool back again. I’d be more thankful if I didn’t have to run Vista as the OS, and even happier if I could just switch to Mac, but it’s OK for now. All my programs and peripherals are back, I didn’t really lose anything important, like my writing, music, biz files, etc…but all my bookmarks are gone, oh well. Onward.
On the up-side Ha survived the first round of cuts at work, whew! So for the time being we’re ok. We are unsure what the future holds with her city job, and only time will tell. And our deck-garden is coming along. I decided to keep everything upstairs this year rather than deal with rodentia, dog feces, and rickety wooden stairs. So far we’ve got green onions, radishes, cilantro, cantaloupe, San Marzano tomatoes, and Brussels sprouts, the most delicious of the gemmifera group. August should be a tasty month!
This Tuesday is Mumsy’s birthday and if I have the energy she wants to spend a couple of days with us. Spending the night Tuesday, complete with Chinese dinner, and going with us to my oncologist, Dr. Katie, on Wednesday. I’m happy, but what a thing to do on your 79th birthday …only a mother.
I don’t much feel like writing about the down side because the past couple of weeks, with this last week being worse, have been real crappy. Poor sleep, fatigue, constipation, malaise, fear, gastro-intestinal pain, tumor pain, blog, blog, blog. On and on I could go, but having to suffer through it is quite enough, I don’t need to have a report at hand too. If I have more to say I'll say it here, on the blog, if I feel up to it, not in conversation. In fact, unless it’s my doctor or wife there’s absolutely no reason to get into how I’m feeling. “Not so good” is a complete answer, and any further questioning, discussion, or explanation only serves to drive me deeper into depression and anger.
Along with Dr. Kunin’s new regime of Artemisinin, I will be starting on some Chinese herbs from my acupuncturist, Christy, which Ha and I are very excited about. More to come about that next week, along with new blood-work from Dr. Katie at the VA, and her report on my current state.
