My days are now full of “got to do things“. Like all people there is a time limitation for projects. Weather, seasons, materials, and the never ending time.
The time limitation can be how much time it takes to do things or in my case now a hard and fast end time because of surgery on my hand to fix the bane of age – Arthritis!
I have lots of pain in my left hand thumb that wakes me at night, shocks me during the day and limits my ability to open anything requiring twisting or pulling apart.
So I have a hard time limit, the end of this month, on projects and prep work for fall.
This in some ways is a great distraction from Cancer. My ongoing treatments have it knocked down, so far, and under control.
But Cancer never really leaves your mind, it is always there in the background. Every new pain, every time things change, anytime you feel off you think is this C?
However in my case I rarely think these things because, well, I refuse to have Cancer impact my life all the time. But I get tested often, see my doctors often and am proactive relating to my health.
I seek tests for my Cancer that might not be offered and I get tested for the newest C in all our lives, Covid, and try to take care of myself as my Primary Care doctor suggests..
One thing to remember is that all the medicals you deal with are human and have lives outside their profession. Doctors, PA’s, NP’s, nurses all have family and friends just like you. Interact with them as you would like to be interacted with.
Be nice to them they have your best interest at heart, Thank them for that.
