the big word

Pneumonia!

Now it's been said. That's what we're dealing with primarily in the right lung. Tomorrow we have a thoracentesis scheduled. Might be viewed by some as awfully late in the day, but it looks like a good idea to me and I'm the patient. I'm not looking forward to the procedure so much, as I am to later in the day when the effects of less fluid will be felt by me, the patient.

I have been listening to ipod tunes from classical to soothing. Samuel Barber Adagio for Strings, Beethoven strings. Music box waltzes. So I really should fill in with a couple more things. Merely an excuse to spend more time in the itunes store.

I am taking more pain meds and working crosswords puzzles. Combined with the itunes that seems as soothing as anything I've done lately.

Keep writing because I am still reading. My own writing is tough. I fall asleep in the middle of a sentence and when I wake up I either can't remember where I'm going or I've gone of with an odd statement and I cant remember whatever that's about so I delete and start back at the beginning.

I reckon I am entering a period of no recall....when I likely will not remember much of this so I am curious to see if those little close to home genes work. Anyway, lest I don't I'm signing off tonight.
