Vacation From My Part-Time Job

It has been almost two weeks since my last doctor visit. It was feeling like a part-time job. These last two weeks have been a nice vacation from it. I have almost forgotten what it was like.

I have had a cough and some sinus congestion for about 3 weeks now, but I am being stubborn and not calling the doctor. I think it is allergies. It hasn't gotten much worse lately, so I am hoping I can get over this the old fashioned way - that is, without medicine. I'd rather try to use my lymphocytes (the white blood cells) to work on my ailments, which would be sort of ironic, since those same lymphocytes were the ones that went psycho on me in my hip.

My next doctor visit will be August 28. That is when my Radiation Oncologist will set up the plan for my radiation treatment. I don't know when I'll start my radiation, but it might be that week or the first week of September. It will be every week day for 4-5 weeks.

The only other interesting thing to report is that my diet has begun to include vegetables. Yesterday I ate at Chef Liu's, which is the best Chinese food in the world, and I ate vegetables. And I am not talking about just any old vegetable, it was literally a pile of grass-clippings. I even kind of liked it. I am turning into a California grass-eating hippy.
