The Name Game

This was another good and busy day.

I played two sets of tennis. After the normal breakfast routine, I did some work at home and then headed out to do some errands.

The most important stop was at a place called Colon Hydrotherapy. They have a far infrared sauna that we want to be part of my routine going forward. It is great for detoxification, among other things. The interesting thing is that no one can tell me if it is safe to do with my port. I think it is, but the medical community seems to not understand these alternate therapies and basically refuses to advise on this issue.

Tomorrow is a big day as we meet with Dr. Patel and will be advising him of our decision re no more chemo. I feel good about this.

I used my new checklist today and it works well. I just have to follow it each day.

I received a few suggestions for a name for the rubber ducky. The three leading contenders are Aflac, Quackers and Tape. See if you can figure out "Tape." The sentimental favorite is Aflac, given that Aflac sponsors the video bonus question on Cash Cab some of the time. I may decide this issue tomorrow.

I met someone tonight that is going to their 50th High School Reunion. I have never met anyone that has attended as many as 50 high schools. Her father must have been with the military.

I decided to try to ease out of the pain pills for my shingles. The scabs are gone, but the pain persists. It has been running at about a 3, but with no pain pill this morning, it is more like a 5 or 6 tonight.

I am tired tonight and going straight to bed. I won't have a soak again until I know the ducky's name.
