I haven't been able to write down my thoughts lately, because I was too confused to put any of them into words. If I were to share my last oncologist visit with you, it would probably resemble a vaudeville performance, with me as the Socratic straight man. Let's just say we came to an agreement. Every 3 months (or so), I will be tested by a CT scan for any signs of cancer. We have laid down the knives and are holding the surgeons at bay. It was a compromise. HOHUM. They can't find IT and I like it. Also, for more good health news, I have cut my blood pressure/heart medication in half and I don't take any other medication. I do take supplements for such things as immune system building, digestion and pro-biotics.
On the "what is happening for real' side, I am well and feel great! My focus right now is to incorporate more of the other disciplines of the Hippocrates experience. I seem to have developed a routine with the "kitchen farm". So now there is exercise, sunlight, meditation/silent prayer, and rest. I think I have the "rest" part mastered and we (Ayden, if he's around) take a 2 mile bicycle trip, three times a day.
I tried the meditation on the hammock, yesterday. Put on my earphones, tuned in and turned on and woke up two hours later. Whoa, wonder where I went? The sunlight happens on the bike trips and since I am into the dirt with my "farm", I got motivated to transplant all the neglected outdoor house plants. More vitamin D, sunshine and more exercise than I have gotten in a couple of years. There are a lot of aloe plants so I am thinking...dessert? This little project has been going on for over a week. Yes it is relaxing and Eckhart Tolle would be impressed with the zen-like attention I am giving these babies. It's just that there are so many plants.
If you ever feeled inclined to get me a plant, just make sure I can eat it or smoke it. My aching back...
