Urologist

I'm still having plumbing problems. So I went to a urologist. He was hot! What I won't do to get fingered. He said my prostate was okay and saw no reason for my plumbing situation.

He did give me some drug samples. Don't know why he gave me them since I'm allegedly okay.

I saw Mike Today!

Mike called me this morning and asked if I needed to go to the store. Of course I said yes, Jean-Luc needs food and I need Pepsi.

He's looking good. He can talk somewhat, he slurs his words. I only slur when I drink. He lied and said I'm looking good. Best friends are such great liars.

We chatted a lot and got caught up on our lives. Yesterday was exciting for him, he ate actual food. He had a dental appointment and they numbed his mouth and he was able to eat without feeling pain.

He starts chemo/radiation next month. He had his hair shorn short and he said the salon will shave his head for free if his hair falls out due to the chemo. Something to look forward to.

It was a short visit but we'll see each other tomorrow. He's taking me out to lunch. Also will be great to see Tony. I haven't seen them since April.

Mental Health Day

Went to the psychiatrist today. I have to go periodically for my sleeping pills. He seemed very interested in my trip to Paris and my reading everything. Right now I'm reading a memoir of a Holocaust survivor.

Also saw my therapist. She was also interested on the Holocaust. She also said I was an intellectual of all things. I have so much to offer but don't know where to get started.

I recently looked up info on publishing a book. They all say to start with a literary agent which I have. They've actually contacted me and I don't know how they got my number, but they called for more information.

I have a vague outline that I want to turn into a memoir. We'll see what happens.

Yet Another Mike Update

I was pleasantly surprised Friday when I got a call from Mike. He's doing great and we had an actual conversation. He's able to talk a little and he can now eat soup.

He's going to the doctor's this week to get information on radiation and chemotherapy. Also on the agenda is house hunting. He lives in Boerne and he doesn't like it. We're hoping to find a home in the city limits. The joke is it must have a mother-in-law suite for me!

I hope he finds something suitable.

Great Weather!

I'm really enjoy the weather we've been blessed with lately. The weather has been unseasonally cool and I love it. I get to open the window to let some fresh air in the house.

It's so cool that I'm not used to it. I'm used to 80's or 90's weather this time of year. We've been having 70's or low 80's weather.

I just hope this lasts for a long while.

Dr's Visit

Went to the doctor's to get lab results. Everything is fine. Good cholesterol, no diabetes, T-cell count 100, Viral load 480. Kidneys are okay as well as my liver. I'm in good shape.

I did bring up my swollen foot and he gave me a script for that along with a water pill. My foot is okay after yesterday's podiatrist visit.

Almost Humpday

I wish I had something to write about but there's nothing going on. I'm in routine mode. I wake up, have toast and coffee, watch a movie, and nap.

Mike's doing great. We're texting more often now. He actually went to church Sunday. But he says he went home and took a 3-hour nap. His body telling him he needs rest.

I'm not quite sure but I think he said he was going to work Monday. I don't see how. I hope I read his text wrong. I would wait until the radiation to see how I feel. But that's me. I'll call Tony tomorrow and see what's what.

Mike Update

 Mike is doing great. He's at home recuperating. He still can't talk much. He says it hurts to talk. We text each day. And I talk to Tony periodically. We're both concerned as you might imagine.

Wish I could visit but they live in Boerne and there's no bus going out there. I have to rely on text or phone calls. I'll just have to be content with that for now.

Real excited for the Royals.
