My thoughts released; a mind set free

These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations.

Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here, I release those constraints and set the artist free.

Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

Time differences, that's it. I was just late getting in here today and thought I would get my stuff done before midnight, no problems. Only my midnight is an hour after WdC midnight, so once again, I kind of spaced it. Oh well, that's the way it goes.

Today was kind of like that; it started right away this morning. I woke up too damned early and couldn't get back to sleep because I remembered I had an infusion sometime this morning. Did I set the alarm? What time do I have to be there? What the hell time is it anyway?

I got up and checked to see what the time was. I knew it was early because it wasn't light yet, and I knew it wasn't night anymore because it wasn't dark enough. It was seven. I checked to see what time I had to be at the hospital: ten-thirty. I checked my alarm; it was set for eight. I could go back to bed for a while. No, I'm up, I may as well start the coffee, so's I did.

I got to the hospital on time and had my port accessed, blood drawn, and then we wait. We wait for the labbers to do their stuff and relate their findings to the doc, who then comes in and goes over everything with me. The Zack, my nurse for today, came in for another tube of life-fluid; the doctor wanted to run some tests for my pituitary gland.

More waiting, but eventually the labs were back and in comes my doctor. We had a good visit, my labs were all normal except I was a bit dehydrated. Then we discussed the side effect of my immunology infusion on the pituitary gland. It causes hypothyroidism. When it manifests, we'll treat it with hormones to maintain the proper balance. Not if, when. The results she needed were not in when I left, she said she'd call. I knew she meant she would have Zack, my nurse, call and relate the information. As of now, I have not heard anything about the results. I'm assuming no news is good news and my glands are glanding properly.

The forecast for today was 50s, sunny, mild weather. The morning fog didn't lift until after it was getting dark this evening, it didn't quite reach 40, and it was drizzling most of the day. We also are under a winter storm warning, and I can almost hear the meteorologist telling his/hers boss, "New things have come to light, man."

It hasn't been a bad day, it's just been an off day. My monthly infusion seems to do that. I don't feel bad after, I just feel off. It usually only lasts the day of, but it has made the following day an off day as well. It's also affecting my eyesight, but I still don't know if it's permanent or not, but my oncologist and my regular doctor are both looking into it. I can't set up an eye exam until I know. It's not a bad change to my vision, it's actually an improvement.

Actually there's a trade off, my close up vision is a bit worse, but not significantly. But my normal vision has improved. It's nice to see clearly without glasses. It would be terrific if this is permanent.
