Today I am thinking in bits and pieces.
May. 19th, 2008 08:30 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
1) I went to the doctor for a mono follow up. My lymph nodes are now the same size which is good, but the same size is still swollen which isn't good. I still have a liver and a spleen. Also good. I was told by the NP that I can go back to work part time on Friday if I am up to it (YAY!) and then part time all next week.
So that's something.
2) Every morning I wake up all, "Ahhh, I feel great and rested and lovely! And here are the birds with my robe and Peekie with my slippers and chipmunks making my coffee!" Then I take a shower and suddenly I'm a little bit worn out but nothing big, no worries. Then I go run an errand before my doctor's appointment that includes picking up guest parking passes which takes about two minutes and walking two blocks to Macy's and suddenly I find myself in line at the shoe department, waiting to make a return, and holding onto a display to keep from falling over. And then I have to sit for ten minutes to get the energy to go to the doctor.
So this is what they mean when they say I'll get tired easily.
3) Unexpected - really, seriously unexpected - side benefit of mono! Yes! Benefit! I have quite accidentally quit smoking. As it turns out, all you need to do is feel like hell and barely be able to eat or move for a week or so and you can't even tell you're withdrawing from nicotine! Try it! It's fun!
Of course, the second I realized I didn't want a cigarette and the thought of it made me kind of nauseous I craved a cigarette. But it went away quickly.
Also, I am tired enough just walking down the street, do I really want to make it harder by hindering my breathing?
4) I don't think that Jay Z is "big pimpin', spending cheese" even thought that is what I have been singing all day.
5) Peekie is taking good care of me.
7) I stopped in the office after the doctor to give my boss an updated note and also see if there was anything that needed doing. I ended up staying a little longer then I meant to but I got to see the construction that's been done and checked my email and stuff. Nothing pressing and I'm good on the work front. Though I will have a LOT of appraisals to work on when I am back. Which, actually, is good because I will be able to take it easy when I am typing them up.
Okay, well, that is all I have for now. I am tired and think I will go to bed soon. Sleep, sleep and more sleep, that is for me.
xoxo and thank you for all of the love.

Glad you are feeling a tad better. Yay for not smoking! And what do you have against the #6?

Date: 2008-05-20 02:23 am (UTC)I am betterish. And not smoking is a good thing.
And sometimes there is no six. It's a mystery.
*looks mysterious*

Date: 2008-05-20 02:33 am (UTC)Mystery solved!

Date: 2008-05-20 05:54 pm (UTC)Man, that six is nothing but trouble.
Best joke ever, I think.

and totally steal Fleet.no subject
Date: 2008-05-20 05:53 pm (UTC)And I don't *want* to start smoking again! I HATE smoking! And feel yucky and like I smell. But it is just. so. addictive. I just love it so much.
But I am embracing this "not craving a cigarette" thing and hoping it continues.
Also, you can not have Fleet. Though maybe I will share him . . .

Date: 2008-05-20 05:56 pm (UTC)And I'm all pleased with the not smoking, too. It's, like, I barely needed any willpower to do it! Unexpected! Exciting! Totally the way I will quit everything now. Got a bad addiction? I am totally pushing the Serious Medical Ailment Diet. You will be so focused on not feeling like hell that you won't even notice that you have accidentally quit your bad habit!
Hooray!
