Ow
Today I seemed to have picked up some kind of virus, which is doing very little except giving me a splitting headache. Dr. G (my oncologist) says it's no big deal, I've had two blood tests in two days, both of which revealed I have 'perfect' blood (the Doc's words), so I should just take it easy and wait for it to go away. In the meantime I've taken four tylenol and two codeine, which did exactly nothing. I'm switching to Advil.
Dr. G pointed out the hilarious irony that while we can treat, and probably cure, lymphoma, we can do nothing to cure the pesky virus that is trying to split my skull in half.
Still, it's nice to know I have perfect blood to go along with my marathon-runner's heart. Before I got cancer I had no idea I was so healthy.

I just started reading this... I'm looking forward to being able to keep up with your progress. I'm trying to think of something funny or sympathetic to say, but it's all either cheesy or in really bad taste. So I shall just say "thinking of you" and sign off.

If you pinch the skin between your thumb and your pointer finger (btw, it's impolite to point)REALLY hard, it helps to get rid of headaches. I'm nto sure why. It might be one of those things where you redirect your brain to thinking, "Why the hell did I just pinch myself so damn hard?" so you can also try cutting of your big toe if the pinching thing doesn't work.
Honey, get an RSS feed set up. I keep forgetting to check in.
