that was the worst week ever, but i'm almost 100 % now. i still have one uncomfortable lung, but it doesn't feel like it's full of glass, maybe just bruised. i weighed in at 139.7 on tuesday morning. i never thought i'd be under 140 ever,, back up to 144 today.. being able to eat all my meals is a wonderful feeling.
one year ago, i was 3 days away from "retiring" from working for the man,, and going full time as an entertainer. little did i know i was 30 days away from a real life changer. and what an adventure it's been.
i sure bitched a lot on my blog here , but i checked my notes and didn't bitch or complain in person , at home, at all ..
i did have a few "poor me" episodes, a cancer diagnosis & mysteries can throw even a positive attitude in the crapper at times.
thanks again to the food angel !!!! just in time, again.
the summer comedy drought is upon us.. what does this mean ? ... " comedy shows" kind of go away in the summer months, the sun is still out till 9 :30 , people want to be outside as much as possible, and no one wants to be inside at 8 pm .. it's just a summer fact..
well , i 'm glad to have an air conditioned job, at a place that just keeps getting busier every year. Not too many work places that have that kind of growth history..
june is usually on of my favorite months, and we're just hours away.. it's time to start everything over again. no gloom, no doom, no "what's gonna happen" mystery, i have 11 months of data,with a long life planned ahead.

all this chatter went into space the other day. BOOM
when my blood panel came back months ago, they warned me NOT to get sick, as my immune system is a bit weak.. , if we all remember i got super sick in october and had to cancel 5 shows....
tuesday , i started feeling crappy,, most likely , microphone flu,,, comics & entertainers from 100's of miles are spewing their germs on mics nationwide.. The Melody Inn has action every night, so in just one week 96 different people might be unloading whatever they KNOW they have, or what the don't know they have .. it's just part of "entertainment". i have my "own Mic" , but it's been at band practice, shame on me...
wednesday.. i was certain i was in for a bad ride.. by wednesday night, after work, i was grieving... total body aches, joint pain everywhere, massive headache, no energy or strength --- i was sure i was dying... the cancer has gone & got me !! .................i had the wildest fever dreams ever , and woke up feeling the worst EVER.. this is the first time i've felt bad since october .. and i was pretty scared.
thursday... couldn't eat . or drink without throwing up instantly, 10 % of the exercise program, my head is exploding.. i'm coughing up orange (( from the carrots? . or are my lungs bleeding ? )).. the achy joint pain has gone to Def - Con 4.. and i have to go to work.. at 10:30 am.. this is gonna suck big time... only small sips of water are staying down.. my eyes looked like i was tripping big time, & i couldn't put basic thoughts together.. and the damn what if's start.. what if my brain is full of cancer, all of my joints are full of cancer, & my lungs are full of cancer. that's the only way someone can feel this shitty for sure. NO food and no pills= NO nutrients , and off to work i go... luckily ,i was able to leave , shortly after arriving. and was back home by noon.. i choked down 1/2 a meal , and as much water as i could handle, and went to bed.. stayed in bed until friday am. that's minus 4 meals and all my suppliments , and no juice too,, this is really bad....... more crazy dreams..
friday ,, walking dead.. orange coughing again, my brain felt like it was wrapped in industrial twine. NO energy at all. but i am off , and can stay home in bed all day again... one meal near 6 pm,, no puking !!! yippee .. and finally was able to keep down some juice.. 30 minutes later, i felt a tiny bit better, but back to bed till saturday morning... that minus 4 meals again... dying would have been a blessing, i was really hurting that bad... and on my mind is Saturday night , the busiest day of the year for us, and it's my shift. i'm doomed... you can't call in on the busiest day of the year, are you kidding me..
8 am saturday.... i woke a little better, but maybe at 18 % of normal, i am seriously in trouble for the evening.. the food stayed down, did 30% of exercises, and had a full load of juice & pills.... my brain is on fire, stayed in bed till 3 pm, got cleaned up , ate , went to work......... i told the crew is was sick as hell and they had to all step up to the A game, as i was only able to help a little bit... they did great, and i made it to close = 12:30 am.. whew.. still sick , but improving. but back to work at 10 am sunday....... crap
sunday , today , i woke up hungry @ 8 am, what a wonderful feeling.
ate the regular breakfast, 100% of exercises, and juice. cancer take-over thoughts are gone.. back to work, INDY 500 day,, i just have to make it to 3 pm. i did have a kinda "big" nosebleed out of nowhere, but it stopped in a few minutes
home at 3:40 ,, wow , what a week...
now more rest and LOTS of food, and tonight , my first walk with the dogs since monday,, lay in the yard chair inside, and watch the 500.. i should be normal by monday night..
some of you were thinking , go to the doctor!!! well , we all know how i feel about that , and they would have told me to do what i did.. try to eat , rest, stay calm... i shouldn't have worked , but it did force me to feel better , instead of staying home and want to die.
and that was my week,, how was yours?
