We are in Arizona! It's sunny and warm and has at times been relaxing, when remembering that i don't have work, it isn't cold, and soon i won't even have to worry about what to eat. The juice feast will start in 3 days... It's rather overwhelming.
I am wishing that my PICC line was actually causing me no discomfort, but it is. Pretty much all the time. It's not unbearable, it's just uncomfortable. It feels constantly 'there'. It's sore in strange places, uncomfortable to sleep on, my arm feels plain full. I think the thing i miss the most is the feeling of snuggling and connectedness with my Sweetie. Somehow, tubes and plastic make it less fulfilling and i feels exposed when my lumen are peeking out of my sleeve. i liken it having your penis pop through the front of your boxers. I don't have a penis, but i have witnessed this scene countless times.
So, as you can imagine, but have most likely not experienced, i am a bit resentful of the assurance from the medical professionals that 'this will cause me no discomfort' and 'will not impede me in anyway'. Because, it is doing both of those things. I would GREATLY appreciate the reality. What are the options. Tell me the truth so i will not be afraid when the truth happens.
This doesn't mean that i am not at the same time grateful for the opportunity and this inserted device that will make things FAR easier.
I saw the Doctor yesterday. He had been on the Master Cleanse for about 2 weeks. So along with being brilliant, he was also dispersed and prone to tangents. After charmingly escorting him back to task a couple of times, we have a more concrete care plan.
It's not that i don't find his intellect intriguing or his ideas profound, but really, i just want to get to it. I don't want to talk about it and theorize about culture and reason and evolution. I want to get it done. And i promise you, wholeheartedly, that i will be present and in the process, because it is my natural state. In fact, at times i wish for ignorance of the things i have spent years unfolding.
So, after a baseline blood draw and 200cc or half a pint of blood phlebotomized, i am tired and weak and a bit disappointed. Mostly that Seth and I aren't traversing a paradisaical beach in the organic spa magazine we browsed while waiting in line at the Health Food Store, and a little bit because i feel like part robot with these tubes hanging out of my bicep. So, i ate some food, opted out of the walk and social engagements, and am now going to take a nap and recoup.
This is by no means the most important thing ever or even right now, it's just what's happening to me and wanted you to know.
