The Stillroom

Platelet shots look like they’re starting to do their job. How do I get through seven hours of chemo? Lots of patience. Tears really burn my eyes but I don’t let them fall. I’m home in my bed, wiped out and nauseous but I took a pill for that. Here is a pic from the other day. Bunch o birds on a wire. Here’s a funny little story. When the game Trivial Pursuit came out, I didn’t want to play with the Kovacs’ clan but I did anyhow. The first question posed to me was ” what do you call a row of crows?” uhhh, are you kidding me? I think all I said was “later, dudes”. The answer, which I’ll never forget, is a murder. So I learned something and that is the upswing. At the time if they asked me something like what herb is dried and used for flea collars, I could have had the answer. Oh well.
