I Always Wanted To Be An Astronaut - 011907

I grew up in the romantic days of Alan Shepard, John Glenn, Mercury, Geminni, and Apollo. 100 6 and 7 year olds crammed into a classroom to watch a fuzzy & shifting image of a rocket lifting off. Today, I feel as though I get to walk out of the building and wave, as I hand myself off to the capable and deserving hands of my mission control.

I'm alone now, at 4am and I slept OK. My final meal is a cough drop - the best one I've ever had... next up, AM meds (steriods)...

5:15am - Anxious, spitting up phlem, take my cough meds to control this... ordered my ritual iced coffee for...

6am I get reconnected to saline lines and they check my blood counts. BTW my sugar counts were down a little last nite - insulin is on hold.

6:45am - blood draws.... sugar is down...

I must sign off - all I'm doing is listing facts.... I'm boring myself!

I'll see ya all on the other side - at splash down.

THE EQUIPMENTS IS ARRIVING!!!!!!!!!!
