Multiple Myeloma

10-9-13

Yesterday, Tuesday, the second day of the crash, ended a bit better than Monday, but started poorly.  After all the sleep Monday, including more than 8 hours Monday night, I awoke befuddled and unable to walk straight - interested only in lying down.  By late afternoon, Mary Ann and I were able to get some of the pool area ready for closing, which is to happen today.  By bedtime, rather than report here as I said on Monday I would, I went on to bed.  Hence, this early morning musing.

We don't talk much about cancer.  We did, at dinner, observe that, until my diagnosis, we were unaware of Multiple Myeloma, and now just follow the Dr's instructions without question.  As I mentioned earlier, I asked about some relief from the "crash scene" and got a smiling "sorry."

This morning, back to normal, normal for one with MM.  That means, if I don't try to move or turn too quickly, I don't appear to have cancer.  I hope to make the Wednesday morning group meeting.  There, I am the iconoclast, but that was my role long before MM.  We have been reading "The Christian Agnostic" - one of the members suggested  that I am one!
