A Plan for Everything

Today was a good day, with one exception which will be revealed later. I was at the club all day.

Due to the turn out and one missing person, I ended up doing kitchen duty this morning and then played with the research manager this afternoon.

She must want something because she said that I did well to last all day. She also said that I looked good and healthier than most people my age. I am unsure as to whether she meant my actual age or the age that I felt.

Over this journey, there have been a number of twists. Dealing with them is simple!

Here are the ailments that I have experienced. Two of them required visits to the ER and all have required medicine of some sort. The cost of the medicine has been in the range of $2000.

Athletes Foot
Dry Mouth
Mouth Sores
Ringworm
Varicose Veins
Diarrhea
Constipation
Paradoxical Diarrhea
Anal Fissure

and as of last Thursday, I now have a rib out of place. Dealing with these things requires tricky scheduling with chemo appointments and other things.

Take the rib as an example. I felt it Friday, but the chiropractor closed at 1:00 pm and will not open till Tuesday morning. I have chemo Tuesday morning and no appointment with the chiropractor.

So my plan is to show up at the chiropractor when he opens and give his assistant my sad face routine in order to get treated right away and still make it to chemo. I think it will work.....she is Canadian also.

So, dealing with the things that happen during chemo is easy, all you need is a plan for everything or to know someone that has a plan for every eventuality.  Thank goodness that the research manager was a Girl Scout.
