" C T SCAN TODAY "

TODAY I WILL TAKE MIKE FOR ANOTHER C T SCAN, TO CHECK AND MAKE SURE THAT HIS CANCER HAS NOT RETURNED.  IT IS OVER THREE YEARS NOW SINCE HIS MAJOR SURGERY ON HIS BLADDER, AND FOR THE MOST PART HE SEEMS TO BE DOING JUST FINE.  HE STILL IS UNEASY WHEN I NEED TO CHANGE HIS OSTOMY BAG, BUT I REMIND HIM THAT HE WOULD NOT BE HERE WITH OUT IT.  ALSO THAT IT IS A VERY MINOR INCONVENIENCE.  HE IS STILL LOSING WEIGHT-SLOWLY, BUT CONSISTENTLY, WHICH DOES CONCERN ME.  HIS LEGS ARE ABOUT AS SKINNY AS I HAVE EVER SEEN THEM-YET HE SEEMS TO GET AROUND JUST FINE. OOPS-TIME TO GO!!
WE ARE BACK NOW, AND WE WILL HAVE A FOLLOW UP TO GET THE RESULTS NEXT WEEK.  MIKE COULD NOT FILL OUT EVEN THE DATE OR HIS PHONE NUMBER ON THE PAPER WORK THEY GAVE HIM, SO I FILLED IT ALL OUT FOR HIM.  HE KEEPS TRYING TO ENGAGE ME IN CONVERSATION, BUT EVERY TIME I TRY AND TALK I START COUGHING AGAIN.  I TELL HIM I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW, AND HE SAYS "YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK TO ME ANY MORE"??  IT IS HARD TO GET HIM TO UNDERSTAND, AND HARDER TO GET HIM TO REMEMBER!!  I AM DETERMINED TO GET RID OF WHAT EVER THIS IS I HAVE BEFORE SUNDAY, SO I AM GOING TO FIX MIKE HIS LUNCH, HAVE SOME MORE SOUP (UGH), AND THEN IT'S BACK TO BED FOR ME TILL DINNER TIME.  PLEASE, SPRAY YOUR COMPUTER-I SURE DON'T WANT TO PASS THIS AROUND!!!  JUST ME
