Be your own advocate

I had a few glitches happen yesterday after (actually before) the CT scan, whch took until 8:00 to clear up, thanks to my excellent Dr. who called me personally. In any case, the tumors have grown and there's some other stuff going on related to the nephrostomy tube and urine being retained as well as possile ascites on my upper abdomen. I seem to have a calcified node below my navel that Mike and I found. The appointment has been moved from next Wednesday to this Friday, and we'll talk abut new chemo options. It could be bye bye hair again so I'll take some pictures of what I've got.
All of which amounts to: major emotional break down. At least I had a few nights to cuddle up against my mom. Mike's good too. Today I am much more calm beause I woke up well and I have my tatoo appointment at 4:00 and I can't wait.

Al:
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind, "Pooh!," he whispered.
"Yes, Piglet?"
"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw. "I just wanted to be sure of you."


"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast? said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.
