Running Away

I feel like running away. Eric went to the doctor yesterday. He goes 4 times a year to monitor his CML. He texted me to let me know things would be slow. It took over 2 hours because the office was so busy. It takes 2 to 3 weeks for his detailed bloodwork to return. But there will most likely be changes in the drug he takes.

His body isn’t responding as well as it could to the drug he is on. I’m not talking about the side affects–they are pretty bad too. But the leukemia isn’t as under control as they would like. This means a new medication–which thankfully exists. It is scary though. The unknown. The changes. How it might affect him physically or otherwise. Sometimes it feels like it’d be easier just to run away. Then I really think about it and I realize it isn’t easier.

I’m working hard on not worrying about it. Until then, I think I’ll go for a swim and work some of my frustrations out while trying to improve my swim stroke.

Peace,

^-^

    Big sigh. Big hug (from afar).

    You control the things that you can control and move on with the rest.

    Working on your swim stroke is a productive use of your time while you two are waiting.
