The Plan for Tomorrow

Another good day with some elements that may affect tomorrow.

I did not rest till I got home from dinner. Felt decent, but tired.

However, the neuropathy is still present which makes for lukewarm food choices. As a result, food is less appealing and therefore, there is less desire to eat. We went to Sweet Tomato for dinner, but I ate limited amounts of everything.

And so, we come to the challenge of tomorrow when these feelings are more extreme.

Let me tell you about what happens at night when I go to bed. We go to sleep with the TV on. The research manager lets me watch whatever I want because within 3 minutes I fall asleep and she can switch the channel.

Another sleep factor is that when I wake up, I feel lousy until I get up and moving. That usually means tennis. Bob makes that not possible.

My first choice for tomorrow is to find one of the anesthesiologists that gave me Propofol in one of the previous procedures and get them to administer enough that I can sleep all day.

Failing that, here is the plan.

1. Wake up at a decent time and start moving immediately, likely taking Bob for a walk.
2. Go out for breakfast and order whatever I feel like.
3. Come home to relax and read until it is time to take Bob home.- No sleep.
4. Eat whatever I feel like on the way home.
5. More reading and relaxing
6. A short nap
7. A light dinner of whatever I feel like.
8 Go to play bridge and eat the blueberry muffins that Sheryl has promised to make.
9. Come home and celebrate a successful day 3 by falling asleep.

I know this sounds simplistic, but the key factors are to keep moving, limited napping and eating only what I feel like.

This strategy may be anticlimactic for those that have been eagerly anticipating it, but I think it will work.

I'll let you know tomorrow.
