Home Again

Man, is it ever nice to be out of the hospital. I was only there for 6 nights, but it felt like a month. It wasn’t so bad at first, because I wasn’t feeling too bad, but as soon as the chemotherapy started, things took a turn for the worse.

Aside from being tied to an IV pump 24/7, and having to measure my urine all the time, the chemotherapy causes nausea, that makes the stay seem even longer. Although, there’s always something that helps you keep perspective.

I shared my room with an older guy who was not expected to live too much longer. He was there undergoing radiotherapy just to make his last days a little more bearable. His cancer had caused him to go deaf, and to lose the ability to swallow. It was quite unsettling, but as I said, it gave me some perspective.

Anyway, enough of that. I’m a free man until the end of June. Time to enjoy the rest of this beautiful day.

P.S.

Thanks to all of you who stopped buy to keep me company. It certainly helped lots.
