Clean
The big news today was that I got to be detached from my I.V. except for a few times a day for antibiotics.
That also meant another shower, and, I put on real clothes.
I almost feel like a regular person. :)
Moving on Up
From this point forward, I think I will be posting less often. In general I gather its uphill from here until I am released (in maybe 11 more days?). I will get to go home for about a week, then back into the Hospital to do it all over again.
My lower lip is really swollen and pained--infected or something I think but nothing to worry about. The only other big thing ahead I think is losing my hair--which has not happened yet, and I was assured its 100% with this kind of chemo.
The good news is--I think I have been through the worst on this round. All I need to do is build my immunity up!
PSP
In one other note a friend lent me a PSP. I know I'm several years late to this, but what an amazing little device! Crystal clear screen--able to play movies, browse the Internet on wifi, download tivo recordings to it--I mean wow! As to the video games--I'm just not that much of a console gamer--driving a car with my thumbs is still not a skill I plan to hone.--but the golf was a nice substitute for the real thing!
Saturday
It's so late I'll squeeze in Saturday too. Slept poorly--was up for a few hours in the middle of the night and ended up sleeping away the morning. Had great visits with my dad and wife. I discovered the joys of a woolly hat with a nearly bald head.

I love the PSP!! I have four more games that i forgot to get to Kelly last night.
ReplyDeleteThe great thing about the PSP (and NDS) is that many of the games can be played casually. They don't require a lot of time commitment. Kinda like doing crosswords or sudoku. You can pick it up, do a little something and then set it back down. Might explain why puzzle-type games are my favorite hand-held games. It's just a completely different style from most PC (even classic console) gaming for when you might not want anything involved.
Tiger woods seemed a bit involved in the end. Sort of like in real life--sometimes playing 9 holes is enough. :)
ReplyDeleteI bet I would like the puzzle type games too, or simple arcade games. Those seem more up my alley for a device like this.
Though normally I'm not sure how much time I'd have to devote to it--but right now--its fun diversion in my diversion filled days. :)
