Keep Your Cooties To Yourself!

Geez so we have been getting up early and getting to the gym.  I think I am amazing if I say so myself for getting to the gym around 5a.m. going to work and getting myself home again.  I remain total toast at the end of the day and my bedtime is quite early - like 9pm now...   I am still the most compliant patient and I have had very few bumps in the road.  If people would keep their cooties to themselves I could continue to breeze along.  Had a little rattling cough around the night of the 22nd, noticed a slight weeze on Wednesday and after getting to work on Thursday had some real sharp pains while trying to take a breath.  First call to the oncology triage nurse gets me an appointment in the afternoon but after the doctor reviews the call, I get a call back saying please come right along.  I got the wheelchair treatment for a trip up to imaging for a stat angio CT.  Just a quick check to make sure I didn't have a pulmonary embolism.  Phew. I didn't know that was what they were initially checking but the whole - can't breath well part - took up my focus.  Bill met me up in imaging and that's not a great way to reconnect during the day giving my favorite guy a startling call.  A batch of antibiotics and lots and lots rest a week later I am feeling better.  I'll get myself in tip top shape for chemo on September 8.  It'll be my next to last one!  Yahoo!  So I'll continue to hand wash and sani-wipe my way along the path to great health.
