How can I characterize today?
It was a good day physically. I wore a red shirt and people noticed. Now I don't know if I should wear a shirt to reflect how I feel or pick a color to solicit comments on how good I look.
After that, things were a little tough. The stress of dealing with all this came to a boiling point and it took some effort and grace to get things back to a better plane.
The research manager has laid out what each day's diet should look like and I am committed to following that guideline.
The key is more fruit and vegetables.
It likely would have happened anyway, but this evening, I had an appetizer of avocado and then Brussel sprouts as part of dinner. Both actually tasted good ( I am slowly acquiring a taste for avocado).
After cleaning up from dinner, I snuck out of the house to go to the health food store (Earth Origins) to get a wheatgrass shot. This was my third one and it actually doesn't taste as bad as you would think. I even got a second one for tomorrow morning. Wheatgrass promotes general good health, helps generate red blood cells, provides energy, enhances immunity, battles cancer, helps detoxification and, just like avocado, will help promote world peace. (well, perhaps at least in our household.)
When I was checking out, I asked the girl if the wheatgrass shot tasted anything like coke. She wasn't sure. I told her that I would bet it didn't. She didn't take the bet.
Tomorrow is Pet Scan day. I am looking forward to finding out where things stand.
Even though I am certain that there will be improvement, I am betting there will be more chemo. Maybe the girl at Earth Origins will take that bet. I've got to monetize this thing somehow.
