Well, well. Had me a little trip to the ER on Wednesday after blacking out twice in 10 minutes while talking to my landlord. Had been sick in bed for more than a week prior to that, with dizzies, nausea and fun things like that. It seems I may have a little bit of hypocapnia going on (not due to any easily explainable action I’m doing), as well as reduced lymphocytes, according to the blood test lab report. Otherwise, everything else pretty much seems to be fine. They even ran an ECG 12 lead (heart rhythm) to test for seizure activity. Seems I’m all clear and probably just feeling miserable due to a viral bug, as per the opinion of the ER doc, as well as my oncologist the day before. Just goes to show I’m in no shape for normal life activities.. still. This is taking much longer than I had hoped for, alas. I am resigned at this point, my frustration akin to the bubbling of mucous in my throat that is daily rinsed out. I visualize my frustrations being choked out along with the saline solution every day. It helps makes the gagging more meaningful. Ok not really, but that sounded satisfyingly melancholy, didn’t it?
