Foresight

So, there I was this morning lying in bed. It was 9:00 and I had a decent night, waking only twice.

Suddenly, I heard that the alternative cancer treatment symposium was just starting on the research manager's computer.

I put the presentation on the phone and laid in bed listening. It was about the power of the mind and a positive attitude. I think that I do pretty well on that score.

So, once the presentation was over, I jumped out of bed and went to get a glass of Supergreens. What could be better! Except, almost as soon as I swallowed the greens, they came back up.

How's that for the power of a positive attitude?

As a result, I spent much of the day resting and sleeping.

Early afternoon, the research manager said she was going to get me some Pedialite. I also suggested chicken noodle soup. She came back with both items and I poured myself some Pedialite. It had so much sugar in it that could hardly stand it. Obviously, albeit slowly, my taste buds are changing.

I had two bowls of soup and they went down ok. I had a little more rest and a soak, I have taken to listening to soothing music during a soak. (Channel 442 on Spectrum)

I then watched a little TV and felt hungry. With my neuropathy, I cannot handle cold eggs and so the research manager cracked them for me. Because she handled the eggs, I have no idea if we have an even number or not. I made an omelet. It was good.

I got a call today advising me to use Vicks Vaporub on my fingers. I will try it tonight.

I got messages from three people encouraging me to look up, given the last few days. I am grateful for those.

But the most amazing thing is that someone realized how I was going to feel today and sent me a card by snail mail so that it would arrive today when I needed it. I am going to ask her to pick some lottery numbers for me.
