Strength Seems to be Returning!

I'm not sure why, but at about 20:00 last night I was feeling pretty good - very stable on my feet, and was able to stand up pretty easily.

Even today I feel quite a bit better, and I notice I'm walking a little faster.

Yesterday I had talked with Dr. Bobo, my radiologist, and my chief complaint was my mouth is coated with "thrush".  I mean totally white coated in the stuff. I brush pretty frequently and use Listerine, but it doesn't seem to help much.

Dr. Bobo "authorized" a prescription, but I left his office at 15:00, and later I tried to find this prescription at about 16:50, and it hadn't been signed.  I was more than just a little disappointed.

After calling his office, the prescription was sent to the correct CVS, but it was still going to take another 20 minutes to fill.  I was too impatient, and wanted to get home.  I'll get the stuff tonight.

One of the reasons I was complaining about the thrush though is that it is often difficult to taste food properly with 95% of your mouth covered in fungus.  I had bought some wine the day before, and could not enjoy it at all due to the remaining tastes.

However, when I got home I still had a glass poured from the previous night, and rather than let it got to waste, I worked on it while having some lasagna brought by Jessica Freeman on the 19th.  So it was maybe close to 6 ounces of red wine. 

Now I looked it up, but it seems nobody has considered this to be a good remedy from thrush, but it did seem to clear me out better than anything for some time.  I also had a shot and a half of Captain Morgan's Private Reserve that Mike had left during his stay.  It's basically rum with a good heavy dose of vanilla. (The rum tasted a lot better to me, than the cabernet sauvignon)

So who knows, maybe I should make rum more of my regular food stuffs.

Normally I skip lunch at work so I can get home an hour earlier, but I wondered if this was prudent.
So I had a lunch at Tsuki which is close to work.   However, I had a good hot and sour soup, but could not finish half of the beef and broccoli.  It's odd sometimes, I feel hungry, but often it feels like too much work to eat.   So I boxed it.

I've got to find more convenient foods for me to eat during the day.
