Which is kind of sad because he's been feeling so much better these last few days. Most of the day today he had his guitars out and was playing, trying to grow back the calluses on his fingers and strengthen those muscles again.
On the flip side, he's become addicted to Dexter since someone gave him some DVDs of the TV show. And he got to see the newest Rambo movie finally. He's had a lot of dreams of fighting and combat. Probably an emotional side effect of the cancer. Okay, I won't go there. But really .. how connected are we to our bodies on the cellular level? A lot more than we are conscious of, I think.
One more good thing that has come from this is that my mother has been spooked into finally going to a dermatologist and having her skin looked at. She has to do a facial treatment for a bunch of small pre-cancerous cells. Something as real as what is happening to KD seems to be rippling outwards and inspiring other people to take better care of their own health. Regardless of whether you believe in reincarnation or not, suffering a health crisis is not something worth wasting your time on (this time around or any life time) if you can avoid it. Right?
All right, all right, I won't go all new-age hippie again. So KD ... he's still doing good. Moving forward. Hopefully by August he'll officially be completely in remission and only on a 'maintenance' schedule for the leukemia. Sounds like a long way off, right? Well, it'll be eye-ball boiling hot around here sooner than you think and by August we'll be desperate for something to celebrate. So maybe we'll be throwing a Remission Party! :-)
