I guess I finally feel like myself, mostly, after recovering from chemotherapy last Tuesday. I awoke early, and read more in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It just seems to keep going, but I think I'm almost done.
One of the things I'd like to talk about today is how dehumanized I feel by this whole thing I'm going through. But that will have to wait, as I have had company today, and then ended up getting sick. Had a trip to the ER last night with nausea, caused by dehydration. Got home at 3:00 AM Monday morning. Poop!
(I had already lined this up before the troubles began.) Today's YouTube music comes from two different artists, singing versions of the same song: Cry Me A River. First, the very-1970's Joe Cocker version (here) in all its wretched excess; next, the Diana Krall version (here), with her finest torch-singing. I prefer the latter, certainly. Which do you prefer? By the way, the are a thousand versions in between these two, I'd bet.
For convenience sake, here a running list of all of the links I've posted to YouTube in the past few days:

Mark - I'm so sad that eating has become so difficult. We have always (both) taken such joy from food that I am afraid of it becoming something you'll learn to hate during this treatment time. I hope you can keep your spirits (and your fork) up during the end of your scheduled treatments, if for no other reason than to avoid any further tube issues. I miss you my friend - I wish I could be there to see you in person. Kel
