In which I take a journey, searching for the me I want to be. My previous Blog, Michael My Son http://danielmyson.blogspot.com/ chronicles the death of my beloved son Michael in June 2011. What followed was grief that found no peace. In October of 2011 I diagnosed with Lymphoma. I believe that it was the result of my grief over Michael.This blog is about my journey through cancer and beyond. / Older posts on right.

The shower sign
There are signs the doctor looks for when he goes in to see a sick patient in the hospital. One is the lipstick sign. If his patient is wearing lipstick he knows she is feeling better. In my case it's the shower sign. I slept pretty well last night. The only problem is when I have to move. Fortunately my bed is so comfortable that I only have to move every 3-4 hours. It hurts like heck for a long time. Then things finally settle down. I have found that a few very deep breaths makes that pain ease up. When I got up this morning I had a craving for a hot shower. So even before coffee I got in the shower and reveled in the hot water on my body. I like to stand under the shower head and let the water run over my bald head. It feels so good. Here I am, all cleaned up and ready for the day. I think I will try it without pain pills. The pain only seems to occur when I move in certain ways. The worst of all is when I lie down on the bed or get up. But Im figuring out how to move so it isn't so bad..
Im looking forward to a beautiful day. The weather is absolutely magnificent. I plan to spend a lot of time walking in my yard.
