Energy

Today was a pretty good day. I played tennis and came home to find that we had been invited out for breakfast. It was a pleasant break.

On the way home, we stopped for a wheatgrass shot and to purchase some vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 gives me energy. I took one pill when I got home and immediately started dancing. I think that the research manager thought that I was kidding and I was, but it seems to have had some effect on my day. The only question is how long does one pill last.

It reminds me of the story of the man who had a very sick bird. It was near death. He called a veterinarian and the vet came and forced a dropper of gas into the bird. The bird immediately jumped up and started flying all over the place. He carried on for several minutes and then dropped to the floor. Everyone thought it was dead, but it was just out of gas.

I think I will keep taking vitamin B12!

We then left to see the acupuncturist. On the way, I saw that there was a silver alert. I looked closely to make sure that it did not say "an old guy with gray hair and a red shirt in a white Honda Odyssey."

After another peaceful visit with Dr. Zhang, we headed off to do my weekly blood work. The red and white blood counts are down, as is normal after chemo, but they are a bit lower than the last time. This calls for at least three actions:

1. Build up the immune system. I have been taking vitamin C from the start, but now we have upped the ante here with Lypo-Spheric Vitamin C which is a liquid that is far more effective.

2. Take care to wash hands and avoid hands to the mouth et cetera.

3. Avoid situations where I might be exposed to other illnesses and infections.

It is almost Cash Cab time and I am still feeling good.

It augurs well for tomorrow. I am looking forward to it.
