Just like old times

        In 1970 I bought a Triumph Bonneville motorcycle . I thought and still think it was a beautiful machine. It was very fast , and very light, it would fly down the highway at 80 mph and never skip a beat and it could stop on a dime .

          It did have several flaws , one of the minor ones being that it was unable to contain motor oil . It would continually drip oil when in motion and particularly when sitting still. None of my friends had any difficulty in knowing what I had driven when I came to see them since there was always a small or large puddle of oil left on their street or driveway whenever I left.

        It was perpetually a quart low  and I would have to  stop at gas stations and parts stores to purchase oil to put into the engine on a regular basis.

         My body has apparently taken after my old motorcycle and I am leaking fluid  or in medical parlance I become dehydrated.      Yesterday I  became dizzy and   found it challenging to stay on my feet without weaving so, I had a liter of saline put into my body via the port in my chest . It takes two hours and after walking in dizzy I walked out energized. 

During these enforced downtimes I have discovered many interesting programs on you tube.  With my eclectic taste I skip merrily from programs on astrophysics ,  chess games,simple shows explaining basic order of execution of math problems, to greek plays and history updates. The web is fascinating you can learn anything.  Lectures on Buddhist philosophy abound and videos of Hindu chanting are out there also. Life is very rich .

I had a doctors appointment Wednesday and he pointed out that while the PSA  number is going up , the slope of the incline has declined significantly and that it was his opinion that if I were willing that I should continue with chemotherapy . I have agreed and will do this again next Thursday. My main goal is to participate in a meditation with my KM(friends) group out in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. I am really looking forward to it, 

I hope I don't drip on their driveway.
