Normalcy

I've been trying to get back to a "normal" routine... not a simple task, but something that I'm working toward mentally and physically.

Yesterday I saw my naturapathic doctor to go over the results of my latest blood work and adjust my diet/supplements accordingly. The news were as good as I could have hoped for... all the blood factors that he measures indicates NO ACTIVE CANCER!

He backed off the doses of a few supplements and is testing my natural killer cells to see if he can take me off one of the more expensive supplements. The work now with him is to continue to maintain a healthy climate in my body...

This good news, combined with the last clean scan has allowed me to begin to see a glimmer of light off in the distance. It has been VERY hard to think about having a future much farther out than a year from the present... It's not that I expect to be gone by then; but more of a lingering sense that I should be realistic and live only in the present. A ghost on my shoulder.

I'm amazed at how my mind works... On the way back from the naturapath, comforted by his findings, I found my mind drifting to art projects and ideas that I had casually shelved as I focused on more pressing issues...

Every bit of positive news opens the door of possibilities a little wider...

Thanks for all your continued support. Enjoy Thanksgiving...

  6. Dave,

    It's always good to hear your good news. Make's me want to pull my old art projects off the shelf too....right now I'm concentrating on putting together a few tunes to play out with my son....a dream I've had for a long time. The only problem is I kept the dream on the shelf for so long that he's a better musician than I am now....that wasn't suppose to happen. It was always..."will I want to play with him?"...and now, the reality of it is "will he want to play with me?"

    Happy Thanksgiving to all the Priftis !!!!

    Alan and Jan

  10. Bravo, Dave! Seems you've found the great lesson through all of this...how to live in the present moment. That is a gift that so many never choose to experience fully, but you've had the chance to meet the truth and grace that can be found there! As your horizon brightens, I hope you'll always cherish the powerful presence you've found!
