short going work post


Good morning all:

The Appalachian Trail
Well it’s back to work after the best week off I’ve had in a long, long time. No chemo. No chemo, no appointments, no doctors feeling me up. I hiked, played golf, and went fishing. It was marvelous!
I also had the best biscuits and gravy I’d had in years. Superb I tell you!
My big appointment is next Wednesday. I have a little anxiety, but I’m pretty sure I’ll be okay.
I’ll be spending the next few days busting tail on the big state plan that has to be in some type of finished format in the next 11 days so it can be reviewed and commented upon before the final submission in August.

vacation over it was great


Well my friends it’s Sunday – work tomorrow.
This was a very good week. Almost no neuropathy and I really pushed myself. Maybe we got this thing on the ropes for the final push.
Feeling a little queasy. I think that was from so much sun this week; I’m gonna lay low today and putter about the house.
Need to clean my room; it is a mess. I have discovered that if I throw clothes on the floor, no one puts them away and it becomes a carpet. That wouldn’t be so bad the, but the dogs hide bones under it all and I keep rolling my ankle.

No petechiae to report so that’s good.

Well that’s it for now.  See ya

bragging


6JUN2012

Okay now I’m just bragging. You can pretty much hear me tell tales of how wonderful I am most any day, but this is kind of special. Well as you know everything I write is somehow special; it is as if the fount of some grant sage is open and the words hop from fingertips to the page. Ah the wonder of my sagacity and me.

Okay enough of that; I’d probably stopped reading by now if I were you.

Okay this week I took my first non-medical time off in almost two years. It was heavenly.

Kate and I hiked on the Appalachian Trail, took a tour of the caverns in Luray and painted two rooms when we got home. Okay that may sound kind of mundane. But I only returned to work six months ago and fulltime about six weeks ago.

Lest than a year – much less in fact – I couldn’t walk from my bed to the master bathroom and I maxed out at about 1/10th of mile for walking. Now I can do all that, but it has taken a lot of hard work.

Although I’ve taken the past two weeks off from working out, I usually get up at about six and workout with weights or biking.

Anyway just a quick update. I’m going fishing tomorrow and Friday I plan to attempt 18 holes.
