Want some good news? I'm having some kind of remission here. |
|
No idea why, or for how long, but the last five days or so have been increasingly better each day. (I guess those DU vibes are pretty powerful medicine, yes?)
I even drove my car (with a clutch!) ten miles each way this morning to visist the vampires (blood tests, that is). Boy, did THAT feel good after so long. And I HATE to be in a car and not driving, so I've been suffering from having my wife and son cart me around.
Still more tests (the electrocution (nerve conduction)) ones tomorrow, and more blood and more analysis of the holes in the brain. Then who the hell knows what kind of gruesome treatment they'll have in store for me, but for as long as this remission holds out, I'm happy.
But I still get tired quite easily, so I won't be pestering DU with my previous frequency for a while. Especially today, when a trade magazine ratbagged me by moving up the deadline for TWO new ads from tomorrow to today - meaning that I had to work at a pace and for a length of time that would make my doctor slap me if she found out.
But test ME, will they? HA! I got it done. 17 years in this business, and I've never missed a deadline yet.
More later. Thanks again, all of you, for all the good wishes and kind words.

9. Seems possible now, and it hasn't for quite a while. You know you don't appreciate |
|
being able to do things like driving, or being able to work, until you can't do them.
I hope you never have to go through anything like this...those doggies NEED you, after all.

You made me smile Redstone and that's not easy these days. It's just so good to hear you are feeling better.
Good luck on the test tomorrow.

Thanks for your good thoughts.

And you know? Sometimes there is no why. Sometime it's just best to accept!
Enjoy Mrs. Redstone's cooking. She's taking good care of you!
Sending :hug: and all the good vibes that I can muster.
