Hello Fellow Travelers!
Well I knew I was nowhere close to being finished with all the medical people and places attached to my tumor and the last week was a painful testament to not being done. I broke yet another rib and an expensive cap fell off. So that means I have to put aside everything else I'm trying so hard to repair to devote entire mornings or days to seeing doctors and dentists to assess the damage of the most recently inflicted injuries.
Ordinarily there be a follow up visit or two spaced out over decent intervals of time. With plenty of time for me to rant about the ridiculousness of my world. Being a patient already managing a variety of other serious symptoms, a broken rib and a broken tooth are just collateral damage that has to repaired as easily as possible, with as little downtime as necessary.
You keep telling yourself that none of it matters. It really doesn't matter in the scheme of things, but it is difficult to hold onto your perspective when lots of pain and visible damage are the results of simply living. It would at least seem so much more worthwhile if these damages were the result of creating some amazing piece of art. Even eating something special is a good reason to break a tooth. I think it is anyway,.
Unfortunately for me, most maladies big or small can be quickly traced back to my brain tumor/removal/radiation.
PS - Go Giants! I told you that being compared to a cockroach wasn't necessarily a bad thing!
