Sweet Dreams

Well, after a period of no chemo, we are back at it.

My blood numbers were all pretty decent yesterday.

I am still healing from the double hernia surgery and I somehow twisted my right knee, which, I am sure does not result from hitting the tennis ball for 10 minutes this past Saturday.

So the bottom line is that I am feeling okay, but these ailments have some effect in slowing me up.

I think it will be another week or so before I can get back to tennis.

A few interesting things have happened in the past week. There has been a lot of lightning here and some people have been hit. The research manager said that the best thing to do if you see lightning or hear thunder is to go inside. I think the best thing to do is to find someone taller than you and stand beside them.

I went to the bank this afternoon to open a savings account and because they had not opened my checking account improperly, it took 90 minutes to get the job done. It is a reversal of what one would expect. The bank held me up!

One of the forms that I was given was a list of the people/institutions that the bank could give my personal information to and asked which ones I would allow. At the bottom of the list, I added cute blonds. I don't think that the banker noticed.

Talking of women. There is some good news. My girlfriend at the colon hydrotherapy office is back. I am glad. After a slow start, I like her and she seems to like my jokes.

And the big news is that there was a new receptionist at the cancer center, who is bright, witty and (drum roll) wears glasses. I hope she stays around. By the way, her name is Angie, the same as my youngest daughter.

I am going to bed early tonight. I have an early date tomorrow to drop off Bob. Several people at the cancer center want to purchase copies of my book. It may be a busy morning.

The research manager is tackling the TV in bed issue by purchasing a "Wholetones" sleep player which plays music to enhance your sleep. I look forward to trying it shortly.
