Vorlon Whispers

May 29 Final Update

Fortunately, as the days go by, I seem to get a little stronger. Although moving around today was tiring, it was not quite as tiring as yesterday. I’m hoping the tomorrow will prove to be better than today.

I seem to feel best in the morning and then slowly fade as the day wears on. I took a nap this afternoon and feel the better for it. I even picked up a couple of pounds. I even got in my 1-mile walk with the Vorlon Wife this evening.

I made it back to the tanning salon today. Since I went in the morning and they seemed to be having a slow day, it was not nearly as hot as my last visit. After having spent some time in the tanning salon and also being outside in the sun, I can tell you that my six to eight minutes in the tanning salon can’t hold a candle to an hour in the sun. Regular visits to a tanning salon with give you a very nice tan. But an hour in the sun feels much more intense. What I like about the tanning salon is I can control exactly how much exposure I get. When outside, atmospheric and local conditions can greatly influence my exposure.

I have an appointment for a cursory exam with the oncologist this Wednesday and then I get another chemo on next Monday – always a great way to start the week. This time I’m going to make sure I get a Neulasta shot scheduled – although I’m not looking forward to the physical cost. But it sure beats walking around with no resistance to disease.

On a brighter note, the Vorlon Wife and I went out to dinner to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. It is our wish; at least it’s my wish, that we celebrate many more in the future. Perhaps wish it too wishy-washy of a word. It is our plan that we celebrate at least 25 more in the future.

Very shortly, I’m off to bed.
