I had my treatment today and it went well. I was out of the oncologist’s office by about 11:00 am and went to the office.
I did well today. In fact, when I left about 5:00 pm, I felt better than I have felt in many days. However, I’m sagging quite a bit now. As you can tell, it is WAY past my bedtime.
The Vorlon Brother called tonight and we had an extended conversation. I’m going to have to train him to call on weekends. But it was good to talk to him nonetheless.
During my treatment, I mentioned to the nurse that I have a small ear infection in my right ear. When I sleep on my right side, the ear weeps. She suggested I put some cotton in it to absorb any liquid. I suggested that I take a disposable diaper (unused) and insert some of the material from that. After all, it absorbs more that 200 times its own weight in liquid. Much more that cotton.
She gave me a strange look as if to say, “He’s not right.” She said, “You can put whatever you want in your ear. I would just suggest you use something to absorb the liquid.”
These people just can’t think outside the box.
I’m off to bed – FINALLY!
Posted by The Vorlon at August 29, 2006 11:02 PMPersonally, I think the disposable diaper idea sounds good. It says right on the boxes, for 18 to 32 pounds. You surely don't have that much fluid - DO YOU? You're right - they could use a little humor once in awhile. It really spoils a good storyline when the person looks at you like you're a tad off. I thought it was very funny myself, but then perhaps I'm a tad off too. I've heard a few snickers behind my back after I've said something quite profound too. Hmmm.
Seriously, it seems rather strange they didn't check your ear to see if you needed an antibiotic to clear something up before it escalates. Oh my!
It was wonderful to hear you were feeling good . That made the day better for sure. Keep up the good work Ted. We bloggers are always cheering for you. God has had to get used to bloggers, but now that He knows blogging is a good thing - HE listens and answers our prayers.
