I get asked how I am feeling about 20 plus times a day. I get asked by doctors, nurses, patient care technicians, visitors, family, online friends, etc. The nice thing is, it is sincere. Unlike the average walking down the hall at work, “Hey man, how are you?”<\/p>\n
For a guy in the hospital for one month getting treated for Leukemia, my answer has generally been “good”. But this morning just sucked. My mouth hurt and bottom hurt even worse. I bitched enough that I finally got some products to feel better. And so, the day got better. I feel pretty good again.<\/p>\n
Well all modesty is lost too. The staff asks about all output and input. How much did you drink? How much did you eat? They chart it all. Making sure I am hydrated. Making sure I am not retaining water again. Oh bother.<\/p>\n
They check my vitals. They check my lungs, my breathing. My mouth, my skin and my legs and ankles. Do you have a rash? Have I become a horse???<\/p>\n
So feel free to ask me how I am feeling. Yeah I hear it all the time, but at least I know it’s sincere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
