I had a PET scan early (for me) this morning. I don’t have the results yet, so I’ll have to wait until Tuesday… Basically go see the “no news is killing me” post for how I feel about not knowing. I had an appointment with Dr. Kaminer, pretty much a non-event. I’m doing better but it will be a month or two before I’m back more to normal and Read the rest of this entry »
today
July 2nd, 2010definitely a good start
June 30th, 2010Well, the CT scan came back pretty good. Think she said they didn’t find any lumps (when she called just now I was kinda awe struck or dumb founded or something and didn’t do much talking or clarifying but she definitely didn’t say that they did find lumps, so that basically means there wasn’t any). She used some medical term or Read the rest of this entry »
no news is killing me
June 30th, 2010I tried calling Marcia, Dr. Kaminer’s nurse but she didn’t pick up the page. I then left a page with my name and number for Dr. Kaminer… I’m basically vibrating with anxiousness and nervousness… I’ve never wanted to know something more in my life… and yet at the same time, don’t want to know… It’s an odd mix of emotions, feel like Read the rest of this entry »

little better
June 28th, 2010Last Thursday night I didn’t sleep at all. Friday night I slept some but not great, way better than not at all though. Saturday I looked at the paper they gave me with the zoloft (because it’s the only thing that changed) and trouble sleeping is a listed side effect. I stopped taking it and started to sleep a little better. I seem to be back to sleeping regular bad instead of extra bad.
I have a CT scan tomorrow to check if the lumps are gone… I can’t help but be Read the rest of this entry »
about the same
June 23rd, 2010I met with the social worker and got a prescription for Zoloft from Dr. Kaminer. Only been two days so don’t feel any different yet. We’ll see.
Getting out and doing things helps but it’s hard to get myself to do stuff. I just don’t feel like doing anything. Also, there’s only so many times you can go to the grocery store or whatever. Right now I can’t guarantee I”ll be at Read the rest of this entry »
It’s been to long since I posted
June 19th, 2010Sorry guys, it’s been to long. I keep meaning to post but then not making time for it or not feeling like it.
Food has tasted pretty much like I’d expect it to for a week or two now. Haven’t retried ketchup though (I did say that ot tasted SUPER sweet and really vegtablely to me the last time I tried it didn’t I?). I have a couple problems with food right now. Read the rest of this entry »
Depresion vs. Joy and Happy vs. Sad
June 19th, 2010When I was thinking this up a couple years ago, I coulnd’t think of a word that was the opposite of depressed. So I decided the best I could come up with was the word joy. Happy is obviously the opposite of sad.
I was thinking about it and Read the rest of this entry »
Figured out something about food
May 18th, 2010I ate the same thing today as yesterday for dinner. My dad bought some very thinly sliced steak and made some rice in his rice cooker. Yesterday he used butter in the pan. I found that if I padded off the steak with anapkin it was less bad. Seemed odd but Read the rest of this entry »
home now, and what happened since last post
May 18th, 2010I came home Thursday evening. They were shooting for Wednesday but that would have been to early. I felt much more ready (though maybe not fully ready) to go home on Thursday than I did on Wednesday. Still don’t really feel like having visitors.
The wraps they started using on my lower legs on monday before I was released (and have used since) are Read the rest of this entry »
