Just another Tuesday. I worked from home anticipating that the installer would be back to install the interior molding for the entry door. He didn’t make it today, but that was probably lucky for me. When I ate lunch I noticed light penetrating the entry door upper left corner. On closer inspection it is clear […]
Category: My recovery
Monday
Today saw the installation of my new entry door. It is a nice door and there are no light gaps around it. There were only 2 issues. The internal molding was not available. This should be corrected tomorrow. The color is wrong. That was not discovered until it was too late (original door ripped out), […]
Saturday, Day after treatment 7
Today saw the installation of all of my new windows and one of the doors. The windows look really nice and so does the one patio door that was installed. On Monday they will install the new entry door (front door). The final patio door will be a bit later since they had ordered the […]
Treatment 7 – Day 2
Today was the day with the pump. The steroid injection from Wednesday elevated my energy level for the day making it one of my better energy days in awhile. I worked all day from the office and it went fine. The rash is at least no worse yet and could have improved a little. I […]
Treatment 7, Day 1 of 3
So today (yesterday?) was Wednesday and it was also the treatment day Wednesday. I “woke up, got outa bed, ran a comb across my head”, well not that last part since the rash on my scalp would have screamed at the idea of a comb. I got a ride from my friend Gina to the […]
Tax day 2018
So today was the deadline for filing taxes. Since it is still well before midnight, I technically filed early, although it was midnight in D.C. Uncle Sam got his big stinky check to augment the money already withheld, and I paid the <$20 penalty for not having my taxes withheld more aggressively. A fair enough […]
Just another day
Today was a pretty normal one in my new treatment cycle. The rash persists, but may be fading a little. My energy was about normal for now, I need to make sure that I get 8 hours of sleep though since I cannot rely on caffeine anymore. I got a good start on my taxes […]
A pretty good day
Today was pretty good. As a newly minted vampire I stayed inside and avoided the bright sunny day that we had. I had a visit in the late afternoon from my friend Nace, his wife Abbey and their baby Ameline. I haven’t seen them since December when I had not yet found out what was […]
Status the same
So another day and pretty much status quo. I was less tired today but the rash continues to exist and has not receded. The ointment still helps keep my face from hurting and the antibiotics should keep it from getting infected. There is pretty much no dead skin layer to protect that area now, so […]
Signs of improvement?
I think it is too soon to credit the antibiotic with anything (I have only taken 2 pills so far) but I think the $10 petroleum ointment may be helping quite a bit. I have mainly used it on my face, and a pea sized dab goes a long way with this one. It is […]
