I’m feeling pretty well tonight. I even went out for a one-mile walk and didn’t do too badly. Although I can’t say I felt better today than yesterday, I’m feeling a little stronger tonight.
I had my CBC blood test today and my red cell and hemoglobin counts were on the low side. You can view my blood tests by clicking here. They gave me an Aranesp shot. I had the nurse show me the box to ensure that’s what they were really giving me. I told her I was the final quality control inspector. Then I had to explain to her what a quality control inspector is. Sigh.
I received an email from a reader about this site and asked if I was interested in getting involved.
They say their goal is to eradicate lung cancer. I guess that sounds laudable, but to me it is also unrealistic. Find a cure for it would seem a more realistic goal.
The also mention they want to reduce the stigma of it. Stigma? I have NEVER felt stigmatized. My response is sort like the knight in Monty Python’s Holy Grail movie when he gets hacked up by the black knight, “A mere flesh wound.”
I don’t know why, but I’m just not interested in it. I think it’s because I’m not leading it. I know, I know, too much ego.
Sunday afternoon I’m driving to North Jersey where I will spend between two and four days at a client site. Good billable hours.
I’m staying in a new hotel – Residence Inn. It’s a lot closer to the client than the AmeriSuites I previous stayed at. I’m just going to have to get familiar with the area around this spot. Both chains are owned by the Hilton Corporation.
