So, I am extending my electronic holiday… I am not listening to talk radio, I am not spending hours on the forums…Occasional news- by newspaper, local telecast and the fox evening broadcast… I have my XM tuned to classic vinyl.
I am just out there doing what I know is right, day by day.
I have had some friends visit, so that has helped keep me off the CLL focus… and a few projects that I am trying to get through- so I am not sitting on the couch eating bon bons…
As for how the electronic withdrawal is going- I do recall the early days of my career, when I was selling yellow page ads with index cards and not a fax, blackberry, cell phone, or lap top in sight. I did have a good understanding of where all the “good” phone booths and bathrooms were… I got my news from the local and big three telecasts once a day… My radio was tuned to music. And yet somehow I survived, as did the world.
Guess I am saying that being plugged in and accessible 24/7 may not be a great thing at all times…
On the health front- I saw my Urologist, and for the first time since February 2008, I do NOT have a bladder surgery scheduled…I have had 7 since then… CLL wise, my lymph nodes seem to be getting smaller and smaller- Byrd and staff at Ohio State seem to be pleased with the progress so far... As for my energy improvement, it seems to be there- at least as good as can be expected for a fat fifty-five year old guy.
I am off the numerous drugs-sleeping pills to sleep, speed to stay awake, just one antibiotic and the CAL 101= five pills a day now...
Live is good, abundant, and I am getting healthier day by day.
Columbus next week for another "great" check up...brrrr.
Just Ramblin…
God Bless,
