Beat Down


I swear 5-FU is acting just like a bully, really wailing away on some kid because he's moving away.

Sunday afternoon, showered, dressed and ready for an afternoon of music my body just refused to cooperate. It was almost an exact repeat of Thanksgiving with a fine morning followed with a most unpleasant conclusion to the day.

It was to get worse, Monday morning brought the strangest combination of buzzing, sore, partially numb arms and legs. My ears hummed loudly and with my fogged head I did not trust myself to write a proposal for services.

Yesterday was perhaps even weirder, my hands were quite sore and fingers alternated their status from tingling to just numb. I have to admit that at different times during the day I felt quite sorry for myself.

Some good new to report, my trip to the specialists at the Wilmer Eye Institute resulted in them finding..... drum roll....... nothing. The only remark they had was there was some unusual pigmentation in the retina (right eye only) most likely a genetic “thing” that would never cause any problems.

Today is somewhat better and I'm hoping that I can make a running committee meeting this evening.

Almost forgot.... Surgery to restore me is set for January 9th !
