The previous two days were not pleasant. My energy level was the lowest due to the steroid withdrawal. I am a little concerned because tomorrow I have the surgery for the stomach tube.Fortunately today I am feeling more energy so I think I will be fine for tomorrow. I even felt well enough for a walk around the island. Cheryl insisted on coming with me because of my stimulating company - just joking - watching the snow laden trees and the yellow beams of sunlight fully occupied my brain into silence! I think she came so she could dial 911 in case I collapsed into a snowbank.
It will be a relief to get rid of the nose tube because at least superficially I won't feel like someone on life support. In reality nothing changes; it's just that you can't see the life support system.
Tomorrow I have to phone the pharmacy to order more of the special formula that keeps me going. Without that I would starve to death.
There isn't such a big difference between us though because our planet is our life support system. We are doing many things that are seriously harming that system. Even the air we breathe in some of the larger cities is toxic and venturing out without a filter mask could have serious health consequences. It is interesting how careful we are about our own health but we are happily going to burn all the fossil fuels so that our grandchildren will have quite a survival challenge. The future is in our hands!
