Cancer/Lymphoma Saga / Update 13 July 2012 / I am just slammed today.

I am just slammed today. Nausea pills come in handy. In a state if wake/sleep, an hour or two pass by and I don’t know if I was awake/asleep or perhaps both. Bad chemobrain. Bad neuropathy, pain in my feet. Ragged snippets of songs randomly appear in my head. Very fatigued. I feel like what those zombies looked like in the Michael Jackson “Thriller” video. Headaches. Very tired and sleepy. Easily startled, even by the Grandfather Clock chiming the hour. My body just feels zombified; as if it has been in a train wreck, all sore and hurting and kind of numb. Dog seems bewildered by all this. No change yet in the lymph nodes. Bad chemo shakes. Joints hurt. But I know that “it gets better” and that “it takes time”. Nice, long, slow farmer’s rain Tuesday and a heavier farmer’s rain Wednesday. Over and out. Mostly out.

"Dr. Democracy", Return to 'The Customer Is Always Right' Capitalism Advocate. Shameless flirt ***** Asker of awkward and inconvenient questions, what they do NOT tell you is far more important than what they DO tell you. Dog person. Failed parallel parking. ***** There is no conscience in Capitalism. Democracy should rule Capitalism but Capitalism should NEVER rule Democracy. Without Economic Democracy, political democracy is useless and worthless. GWM. ***** Prone to telling off people who need to be told off in the fine tradition of my grandfather. I'm waiting for a face-to-face with the Michele Bachman/google Santorum/Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan types. Also with Vichy Democrats and oil-funded enviro groups. Gay Incorporated is useless. Post-partisan and post-ideological. Used to dance with his shirt off. ***** Not necessarily post-Capitalist in the Authentic Adam Smith way but certainly post-Capitalist in the THATCHER/REAGAN/MILTON FRIEDMAN/AYN RAND way.. Our economic and social arrangements need to be changed but not just from one ideology to another. Let talk about and create new options for social arrangements. Les Miserables. ***** Karl Marx was wrong about a lot of things but he was spot-on about how Industrial Capitalism causes people to become alienated and about his 'labor theory of value' which shows why/how Capitalist thieves steal the value of a person's labor. A person works so many hours or days for s/himself and the rest of the labor is "free" and therefore the value goes to the Capitalist One Per Centers as profit. Mars Attacks. ***** Just documenting signs of the looming apocalypse -- or rather, apocalypsii / TURN OFF THE TV.
