Some funny things about my cancer

A very good friend gave me a book that deals with major medical tragedies. I picked it up and began to browse. The very first page went something like this: It told the story of a poor woman with a form of cancer that wasted away the bones in her leg. The next paragraph said that she was a very lucky woman because it had not become multiple myeloma. Can’t say that gave me much comfort since it is multiple myeloma that I have.

Halucinations – there were many. The tough thing is that you have to rely upon others to tell you about them. One particular one had me standing on my bed at the hospital demanding to see the CEO of Tacoma General Hospital because my room was not clean enough for me. He/she never came.

I tried to evacuate the house one night because it was on fire. My bed was completely engulfed by flames. I ordered an evacuation of the children first and then the adults while I stayed behind and fought the fire.

It seems as though every health care person has a cough; meanwhile, they have cautioned me with regards to staying away from people with coughs.
