I just got my best night of sleep since before I went into the hospital. I hope Carole slept as well as I did. She's been awesome, but I wish she would worry more about taking care of herself instead of babying me. I think the only time she complains is when I complain about her driving. Does that sound like Carole? I'm trying to learn to bite my tongue, and think I'm getting better about that, but that's not me, either. Carole has been on a real clean up kick for the last few weeks. Today the plan is to go through my side of the closet and get rid of the things I don't wear or use anymore. Can you feel my excitement?
Yesterday's visit with the radiation oncologist went very well. He reviewed my blood work which was all good. My weight went down about two pounds, so I can continue with my milk shake therapy. My blood pressure is still on the high side, but not as bad as I thought it would be. The b.p. probably went down late in the day after I got a call from work. Thanks, John! I really appreciate your help. I know the call helped me sleep better last night.
After the doctor visit, Carole and I went to Steak & Shake for lunch. Of course, I had a chocolate shake. Carole had a mint shake that I think she thought was too "minty". My shake had ice crystals in it, so it wasn't quite as smooth as a DQ shake, but it tasted great. These evaluations are too subjective and I may have to put an end to them. I think I should just sit back and enjoy all of the different ones I try.
