I saw my haematologist yesterday. Sarah came along with me.
We were expecting the histology results from my biopsy. They weren't back yet.
So I it's another week in limbo.. but to be honest I've already decided it will be good news, so I'm not stressing. Denial is a wonderful tool in these situations!
Invigorate definition, to give vigor to; fill with life and energy; energize.
Today was interesting..
I woke up feeling supercharged. I drew up a list of things I'd like to complete, people to visit etc and ploughed through it. It was great catching up with friends and customers, some I hadn't seen in months. I'm sure some of them were quite surpised to see me up and about so soon.
Earlier this week I was feeling quite down and frustrated at my lack of progress.
I think the word Invigorated best discribes how I'm feeling right now.
I'm thinking it could well be attributed to the huge reduction in the antibiotic dose that I have been on these last nine weeks. I reminded Dr D'Souza yesterday how long it had been since I started on the high dose antibiotics to fight the nocardia infection and that no one had been in touch to advise me when to reduce or to write me a new script as I was about to run out of pills.
He phoned the infectious diseases Doctor, Prof Tim Blackmore and between the two of them came to the conclusion that in light of my constantly diminishing blood counts perhaps reducing from 4 tablets, 3x a day down to 2 tablets twice a day would be a good thing. That's a huge reduction, No wonder I feel so good today!
I'm also thinking I under-estimated just how much the surgery would knock me around. I mean really..
the doctors were concerned I wasn't up to having the surgery, I insisted I was. It would have set even a healthy person back, let alone one who's been through what I have in the last three months! I expect too much of myself. But perhaps that's a good thing? It's what drives me.
On a completely different topic...
I've just landed an enormous shipment of silicone turbo charger hose and have been flat out designing new logos and marketing strategies. It's all very exciting for me. I've had the hoses built to my specs and I firmly believe that I now have the best product available off the shelf in New Zealand.
Now I just have to find the space to store it all !! The mezzanine above my workshop is already bulging at the seams with my normal stock range, and I'm not yet strong enough to be lifting boxes (Nearly 1/2 tonne of new stock)
Fun, fun! ..Ron
