Day 7 10/22/08
Don’t know how long this will be, as I’m so tired I can’t see straight. That 2 hour nap yesterday kept me up half the night, and I woke up so wiped that PT was really hard. So today I stayed up… so I can sleep tonight(?). I can’t take full advantage of the PT if I’m the walking dead. Can’t burn both ends of the candle like I used to, half age and half ataxia (although the line is blurred a bit.)
After the three therapies, didn’t do much of anything, watched a movie to stay awake, and I spent some time with the kids here. One little boy kept asking me to sit on the floor with him. When I told him I couldn’t, he asked me to pick him up, I had to tell him I couldn’t do that, either. One of the things about this garbage that bothers me the most is my inability to pick up my kids. Well, with a little luck, that will change.
I saw Jim and his wife today, he was hardly using his cane. He’s looking forward to Friday’s stem cell infusion even more than I am. And why not? That’s why we’re here.
So let’s get on with it.
