Body Language
Another hospital day today!
Bloods - good.
Everything else - good.
One thing I’ve noticed about myself, in comparison to other patients - when the doc asks me how I am, I usually, quite honestly, say I’m fine. I don’t tell them every little bodily alteration - like aches and pains, sleepless nights, clicky knees or ear wax! These to me are just ‘normal’ things. I also worry that by informing them of such minor issues in the scheme of things, they’ll become distorted, and in someway bought back to the cancer… I often hear other patients describe every movement or sore or ache in detail. I consciously choose not to divulge such details. I guess this is because I’d much rather run as fast I can in the opposite direction of my disease progression. I don’t want anything to slow me down, or hurdles that may knock my positivity.
Thank goodness for the end of today and apple pie! yum.
