Sick and Tired

Just finished spending the last five days in bed. Can't say for sure what ailed me, but a stuffy nose, regular coughing and fatigue were among the symptoms. Also had a persistent ache in my left outer thigh. After a short bout of vomiting over the weekend, I'm feeling much better. Perhaps I simply needed to purge a bug? In any case, I'm feeling well enough to brave a journey into the Cancer Agency. Have a CT scan scheduled for today as well as the usual blood work, urinalysis, ECG, and oncologist appointment on Tuesday. Ah, the joys of being on a drug trial. While part of me thinks it would be more prudent to quarantine myself for another couple of days in order to ensure whatever passed through my system really has past, I need to ensure things remain on track re the drug trial. I'm not at all certain how being off the medication for a couple of days a couple of weeks back might have affected things. Do know that I have been wheezing a bit of late (a sign, in the past, that the lesion in my trachea has enlarged), but that might have been due to the cold, flu, or whatever it was that was making me feel so rotten. Results for the CT scan will certainly provide some answers to all these questions. In the meantime, I will continue to contemplate my navel. More specifically, the collection of bruises sprouting up in the area thanks to my questionable skills with the Dalteprin needles (and Momzy wonders why I never went into nursing - the world has been spared!). I'm beginning to see something in the way of a connect-the-dots pattern forming. Hey, it looks like Che Guevara! Or Tony the Tiger. A smurf?
