Therapy week by week; Week 4 OFF

Oh boy - got a reprieve this week...though at first I was disappointed (my blood count at 2700). Met with other Dr. Flynn - not much 'bedside manner'; seemed perfunctory, in a hurry. I'm glad he's not my regular doctor - and I'm glad I had the week off.

I write during the final performance of Kiss Me Kate - I'll miss it and the people. performing/work is great therapy in an of itself: energizing, self-affirming, ego -building. My hope is that the G will call soon (this season!).

Headaches from previous week hung on and off a few more days. But basically, this week has been on of return to normalcy: sleeping well, eating anything, not to many trips to the john, energy, ongoing, and coffee tastes good again!
