Mark's back

Hey everyone! Starting to feel human again. Let me tell you, that was
a ride. Tuesday night was pretty dark. Systems not working, pain in
the leg, abdomen swelling, remembering the pain of NG tube insertion,
feeling about to explode from the pressure and not sure what to do... I
was depressed! But, we went with the tube, the nurse was very skilled
in putting it in and it relieved the pressure right away. We decided to
focus on "walk it out". That was about the only pro-active option, so
that's what we did. Each walk, I focused not on the pain or soreness,
but that by walking we were going to move forward and keep getting
stronger and take control. Screw you cancer, screw you. Look's like
it's working. Yay. Feeling soooooo much better than just 3-4 days ago.
OK lunch just got here, so I'm out of here for now.
