Another off week in the books, except this was no usual off week.
I had mentioned a bit of anxiety about the recent scans, and much to my delight (and maybe some others...) they have preliminarily come back good. Final reports to come in the near future, but due to the heightened sense of concern for these scans, a couple of good nurses and doctors took a sneak peek at the scans themselves and gave me a bit of relief. why the heightened concern? Well, for the first time since diagnosis and the start of treatment, the pain that sent me searching for answers as to what was wrong in the first place was back (not nearly as bad, but eerily reminiscent). Of course I thought the worst and figured disease was back, but luckily so far that is not the case.
What could the pain possibly be? Who knows. I had nerve damage that I just assumed would never recover, so maybe they are recovering and now I can feel my pulverized from chemo/radiation/dead tumor bones? Whatever it is...don't care - as long as it's not disease coming back.
Now as a result of this being a not-so-off week, I've requested next week off as well. Gotta relax a little, get back on the links for a few rounds, and take in the beautiful autumn weather and foliage (aka landscaping at the Compound).
Giants are going 12-0 from this point out. You heard it here first, folks. No I'm not tripping on painkillers. Maybe I'm just tripping, though. Later everyone.
Woo hoo!!!!! Absolutely THE BEST NEWS! We're delighted for you, Nick! Enjoy the week off.

Sorry to learn of the reappearance of the pain ; glad to learn of the clean scans. Taking the week off from the next round of pummeling is not a bad idea ; considering additional weeks off just cause you prefer the ease of those weeks is a bad idea.
ReplyDeleteNow, on to those Giants. You still have a seat waiting for you when they play the Cowboys. Hopefully by then they will have found a win somewhere but if not, defeating the Clown, er Cowboys, will make the entire season worthwhile. Now you have something to look forward to for next month......not that the punchless Giants will come close to sacking Romo but rather watching him simply hand the game away as is his wont. Ah, other than a clean scan, nothing is as fine as watching Skeletor Jones squirm after a premature celebration.
Keep them scans clean as a whistle....and do everything to stay with the program. So far so good.
