Surgery--Again

@dlowan,

Don't cross too much, bunny. I don't want you to fall down.

The follow-up appointment was made ages ago. It's on Oct. 10.

I couldn't get out for the last book group. I can get out now, but the book group for September was canceled. The leader was in the hospital with a mystery malady. I'm not keen on going. We already read the book only nobody remembered but me. Old people!

@Roberta,

We have to wait until the 10th? That's more than a set of chewed fingernails away!

@Sturgis,

No, you don't have to wait until the tenth. I'll know whether the medication worked long before that. If it worked, I'll see the doc on the tenth. If it didn't, I'll be driving the docs crazy before that.

Hang onto you fingernails. And still so far, so good.

@Roberta,

So good meaning you’re feeling better than when you finished meds last time?

Are you eating?

@dlowan,

Yes, I'm eating. This is the first time I finished these meds. After I finished the other meds, I ended up back in the hospital.

@Roberta,

Good news. I hope you don't have to see any Dr's until your scheduled appt on the 10th.

@Roberta,

Yes, I know this is the first time you have finished these meds. Sounds as though you are feeling better at this point than after you finished the last meds.

@dlowan,

It's possible. I'm not sure. I'm noivous every time I have to go to the bathroom. But I feel mostly ok, and I have a bit more energy than I've had in quite a while.

You've known me long enough and I think you know me well enough to know that I will never be optimistic--about anything, especially illness. My pragmatic approach has gotten me though a lot.

Right now I'm waiting to see what happens. And trying to get my apartment in good enough shape to get a visit from a new dog (and owner(.

I'm not an optimist either. Scared it tempts providence, whatever that is.

Possibly the oldest and most ingrained superstition since self awareness dawned.

@dlowan,

I was sitting by the breast cancer clinic waiting my turn. The women who were also waiting were talking about how you have to be positive, optimistic, etc. Ole gloom and doom moi piped up and disagreed.

"If you're optimistic, you can be disappointed. I just take things as they come."

How are you feeling?

@dlowan,

Mostly I feel the same as I've felt for a while. Once in a while I feel a little worse, but it goes away. I see the doctor on Wednesday.

@Izzie,

Hiya querida. I saw the infectious disease doc today. Based on what I described to him, he thinks that things are on the right track. However, c-dif is a pernicious SOB, so I'm still in wait and see mode.

I see the gastroenterologist on Monday.

I think I should add that I'm feeling pretty good (mostly). In fact I feel better than I have since June. I have energy! I'm eating a lot! ) I gained back three pounds.) And I'm breathing better. All this applies to most days--not all--which is why we're waiting to see what happens.
