I started today with renewed optimism. Yesterday our local hospital in Cornwall were great at getting me on track with a quick CT scan and new medications. I also had one of those unexpected waiting room experiences. When I arrived for my scan I went to sit down and the receptionist said "no, go right in"! After that though we waited several hours to get the results.
I had a good sleep last night with Blaze close by. He doesn't seem to be bothered by my frequent coughing spells, also he warms my clothes ready for the morning. The coughing bothers Cheryl a lot and she finds it hard to get back to sleep so she slept downstairs last night with her phone on and the ringer turned up loud, in case I needed help.
Everyone says I should rest with pneumonia combined with radiation recovery. I have resisted this advice but seriously, could they all be wrong? Some of them are medical specialists so they should know about this. So,. I am trying an experiment and following advice for a few days. No more outside bike rides, no more leaf raking. I'm staying inside and minimizing effort in all tasks. I will also re-read the book "The Art of Doing Nothing". Today was day one and I feel quite good even without my afternoon nap. That ghastly burnt skin has finally fallen off and my fresh new pink skin makes me look years younger! I should know in about 5 days if the new medications are coping with the pneumonia. I also managed to get pictures of the two missing radiation team members. Here they are:
