One day at a time. One hour, one breath. Whatever it takes.
Also - think scooter, not wheelchair. Wheelchair = upper body strength and stamina to push yourself. I have neither! It sounds like you lack the stamina. So, along with the chair, you must have a pusher. Feels WAY too dependent for you. So think scooter. And check Craigslist. I have heard there are many on there.
I love the icon. It would be perfect if it was just Picard with the cap but it's 99.999% perfect as it is. As one of the few Star Trek captains that got relatively little 'action' (compared to most other captains) during the series I can fairly imagine him saying "I'll be in my bunk". :)
That sorta depends on the results of the PET scan today. If things are very positive and moving in the right direction I'm willing to continue. If there's not much progress or minimal progress I'm going to ask to stop this series. There are only two more scheduled at this time but the amount of discomfort isn't going to be worth it if there's nothing to show for it up to this point.
I should know on Friday when I meet with my oncologist. I have to admit, part of me is hoping the results are bad enough that continuing would be fruitless.
Most of me is hoping that the results are strongly favorable enough that I'd happily continue through the last two treatments.
