Yucky Cold

Surprise call from the oncologist.  She left a message while I was out running around.  She says my cancer is  “stable”, only in the bones.   I didn’t really expect to hear from her about the PET scan.   They had me sign a paper that they could leave messages on my answering machine.  All these privacy rules can get pretty silly.

I’ve been out running around a bit for 3 days in a row.  Now I have a very sore throat and runny nose.   Also running a low grade fever.  I’m gargling  warm salt water and taking tylenol and naps. 

I may go to see my general practitioner tomorrow.   In the past she has said I am “fragile”.  I don’t want to be fragile.   I’d rather be robust.   Guess I’ll take fragile over whatever is below that on the health scale.

We have had a nice rain or two in the last couple of days.  Now we are headed back to the heat and humidity.  All of August to go.  We often have a drought in August.  I don’t mind it much as the lawn doesn’t need mowing as often. 

Really getting tired of poor selections to watch on TV lately.  I got books from the library and realized when I got home that I’ve already read two of them.  If my memory gets any worse I’ll only need one book, just keep reading it over and over.

Later….
