State of the body address

Hey folks,

Man have I been sick but very happy. I guess it is pretty easy to get sick when you don't have many white blood cells uh? I've been sick all weeked from a cold on top of being weak anyway. But it gives me lots of time to lay around, think, read, and watch baseball.

I must tell you, I have really begun to visualize myself as a healthy person. I was walking across campus, in the sun and fresh air, thinking yeah, I feel good. And it is kind of weird, but I see myself in the future. I kind of feel a new sense of health. I've been feeling some things go on in my body lately too. It may not be true at all, but here is an example. The other day I swear my liver was itching. You know when you have a scab that is healing on your skin and it itches. That is what is was like. I know there are not a lot of nerve endings in your organs, but when the doc's did a biopsy on my liver, they did say I would feel it a bit in there. This was a long time ago, so the sensation is not from the biopsy. I'm thinking that it is healing. The cancer cells are leaving and the liver is fixing itself up. I'm encouraging it to heal nicely because when this is all over, I could really use a beer.
