Xanax « Voice of the Valley

My Sock Monkey is Fierce!

I got the phone call we were looking for yesterday from Dr. Pippas. He has managed to work with Dr. Dan George at Duke University Hospital to get our consultation appointment moved up a full two weeks! The new appointment time is 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, January 11. I have filled out all my new [...] [...]

Scanxiety

We leave tomorrow morning for a quick trip to Emory for a follow up on my radiosurgery with Dr. Liza Stapleford. I had an MRI without contrast media last week. Since Dr. Pippas ordered the MRI, he’ll have to give the OK for the radiology department at The Medical Center to release a disk containing [...] [...]

Like Water From Another Time

The past couple of days have been interesting. This is the 5th day since my Thursday dose of Xanax and I am finally starting to feel human again. It is difficult to put into words how I’ve felt. Let’s just say that the dips of the cancer roller coaster ride that foster isolation for the [...] [...]

Back From the Snake Pit

I spent about an hour last night talking to Jill about some of the hilarious antics I’ve displayed since Wednesday. I have an almost holy respect right now for the drug Xanax simply because of its ability to render me completely free of anxiety during these highly confining procedures I’ve had to have with my [...] [...]

Round Two is Over

Here I sit, finally back home, in my leather chair and completely exhausted. We stopped by the office for a few hours late this afternoon to get some pressing things done. I made a few phone calls, mostly to family, but I made one very special phone call to my friend (not my doctor at [...] [...]

A Piece of Cupcake

Jill and I slept in this morning after a ridiculously early evening dinner with sons, Michael and Adam at Cafe di’ Sol in Atlanta’s Poncey Highlands area near their neighborhoods. All I could think about was the Seinfeld episode where Jerry’s parents often went to dinner in time to get the early bird special. Last [...] [...]

Shrink Wrap, Shmink Wrap

This day was not so bad. I had 2 mg of Xanax in my system when it came time for my shrink wrapping test run. I really wouldn’t have cared if they had told me they wanted to stick me in the eye with a used corn dog stick that someone had picked out of [...] [...]

Wednesday is Fry Day

Finally got the call from Emory to schedule the radiosurgery. They always call our home. We are working people and we’re not home during the day. Mary, the dosimetrist, called and left a message that they want to do the treatment on Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. GREAT! I’m thinking, Delta is Ready When You Are. [...] [...]

An Unmanned Sock Monkey Puppet

Thanksgiving night after all our family had left us, I decided this was as good a night as any to take the Xanax test. We had a busy, great day and we were both pretty tired. I had been up and down all night the night before Thanksgiving with the turkey and Jill did a [...] [...]
