I felt good getting out of the house, seeing the sights, people, and ate some clam chowder in Au Bon Pain, a commercial eatery in the hospital, and then saw the social worker. He said getting transportation to NJ, interstate, will be difficult. Obtained some of my records, and then onto the SPOHNC meeting. The facilitator, a SLP, is going to have a swallow study done on me.

Onto getting home. My pick up with access-a-ride was at 5PM. It did not arrive until 6:15PM, and got home after 7PM. I don't know how I'm going to do it during Treatment.

Ed, this isn't really new. I've been like this for 4 years after my chemo in 2009. In fact, I was worse, got a little better, , but depending on any co-conditions like anemia, kidneys, diabetes, neuropathy, dehydration effecting me, and then after each radiation, surgery, chemo, I'm back to where I started. I only go out to see the doctors basically, and use my walker to sit on to cook, which I havent done in a while, have a shower chair, and have everything delivered, food, laundry, prescriptions, and a cleaning woman once a month to conserve energy. I did have a good run going to the gym in the spring a few days a week, which required special supplementation from my doctor, but after the kidney failure in May, recurrence in August, I haven't been there since, and I used to go to the gym sometime 5, 6 days a week since I was 15, depending on my routine, and running, swimming, biking, etc.
