Good Drugs?


(Editor's note: Before any of you read this and think that this illness has gone to my head, [which it has, slightly. I'm finding it difficult to hold conversations for more that fifteen minutes or so before drooping] I need to explain the post below. I recently replaced my ipod touch and as a result was able to begin using what I thought was my dream app: Dragon Dictation. Yes, through the wonders of modern technology, I would never have to struggle with my two-fingered-hunt-and-peck method of data entry again! I had tried it out with short phrases and was amazed at how accurate it was. So this morning I sat down, miracle device in hand, and set about SPEAKING my post about my biopsy, planning to cut and paste it later. Well, this is the result. I knew I would have to clean up a few errors, but even I don't know or remember what I was trying to say for most of this. Now, I know I was coherent when I dictated it [although I did restart a sentence or two], but, come on! This sounds like I dictated it immediately post-procedure rather than the day before. This is up there with David After the Dentist [if you haven't seen that youtube, go here right now and watch: http://davidafterdentist.com/. Don't worry, I'll wait.] So, with humor in my heart, I give you the unedited version of my thoughts about the biopsy, co-written with Dragon Dictation.)

(p.s. My younger sister is going in for a biopsy tomorrow as well. Please keep her in your prayers and thoughts as well. Peace and blessings to you all.)

My time being ill has left with me a lot of time to think. For one thing, it's really interesting to talk matter-of-factly like this: “If I do have cancer then we’ll have to think about this, if I don't have cancer, then we’ll have to make these decisions.” when I was testing for test and to even contemplate that but then to realize that that would be a dramatic life changing events it's completely out of my control stuff and I can choose it's chosen for me not knowing exactly what that would entail lengthy hospital stay him chemotherapy, radiation therapy, I know most of us know people that come through cancer treatment. Many of who have become cancer survivors so what does that mean for me. Where's that we've been am I still haven't heard back about the two fever or lupus panel me because the doctor this morning about that and if everything goes as it normally does for be a while before they get back to him I think I had to have the biopsy tomorrow night. At least that's what I go into some even older doing sticking me let me pulling out material to look at the trail calling out some of me to look at it is a fairly involved process after have to show up in our early customers that IBM start of the dating me how the quality of conscious sedation so it seems quite versatile I'll be awake but I don't really care what's going on him and then about 20 or 30 minutes for the procedure itself then another hour afterwards where they monitor me to make sure they have a fundamentally internally and in the back, because alright, so in a minute to process again. I'm having always technology front of me trying to discover why are you still tired and because the peepers can't really get some aches and pains my abdomen than an enlarged Lanna my throat my neck my job he gets all the they really have it say with the fatigue I keep thinking maybe I'm just now mentioned that accurately down for an hour or two maybe it's not really am leaving this being lazy but then am I actually go out next week I do something present close to a meeting yesterday at the school I'll talk and I found after about 1520 minutes I really had no interest in 15 minutes I was done I was ready to lay down and wanted to.
