Tilt

After celebrating being Vertical for a couple of weeks, I had a Horizontal day on Thursday.

I had a very busy and productive day on Wednesday, and felt good almost the whole day.

However, a fever on Wednesday night, accompanied by fatigue, had me at the doctor's office on Thursday for several hours. They gave me fluids for dehydration, and a check-up, and put me back on an anti-biotic. I was thrilled just not to have to go to the hospital. (Susan was likewise thrilled.)

I was back at work on Friday, feeling better than Thursday but not as good as Wednesday.

I also took a pulmonary function test today as a follow-up on my bout with pneumonia in August. I did poorly on all the tests. I am just not good at blowing air out of my lungs at high velocity. My breathing is more than adequate, so I'll wait until next week to let the doctor figure out what the results mean.

This, I think, is a big turning point for me. I can get through two weeks without having to go to the hospital! By the end of the month I will be ready for another round of chemo. I hope...
