My chemo oncologist comes in early today and after checking me over tells me that if I don't get up and start moving around I am going to wither away and my muscles will just atrophy away to nothing.. I realize he is right!

After I see all my Drs and I get all my meds etc.. I strap on a HUGE depends and wrap silk tape around and around and around me to hold the depends up... I grab my "IV" pole/stand, wrap the hospital gown around me and tape it and off I walk! I tire easily the first time out so I can only walk around the corner and back to my room. I try again and again! This is the beginning of me trying to BRING myself back to health!

I am still not getting to eat so even though I am getting what I need from TPN my stomach seems hollow.. and empty and I am still getting headaches that feel like headaches from being hungry! I am irritable and unhappy! It's hard to be nice to anyone. I definitely have an attitude and it's not a nice one.

When JR comes to see me he helps me walk farther and then wheelchairs me back to my room!

I fall asleep watching LA INK... If I ever get out of the hospital I am going to get a tattoo.. I want a tattoo...
