The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

Tuesday
Yesterday was OK. I was there from 9:00 until around 2:15, so that was most of the day. The Benadryl made me sleepy, so I slept during part of the treatment. The reason for that is to help prevent allergic reactions to Rituxan. I felt hot during some of the IV sort of like my internal thermostat was too high, but that was about all. I went by Wang's to get some lunch to bring home and then got so sleepy I had to take a nap - a long one. It was probably because of the Benadryl. Then I slept all morning and have been draggy today. If this is all that happens, it will be great. I have eleven more of these to do over the next year.
Dr. Phil had a show today about menopause and therapies and help for them. I'm thinking about getting off prescription hormone replacement therapy and doing what was suggested on the show. Does anyone know where saliva and hair follicle testing can be done? That and blood tests are supposed to show what minerals, vitamins, and hormones are out of balance. What's a compounding pharmacist? Are they only in California? This regimin is for peri-zappers taken from the book Before the Change that was featured on the show. I've intended to try this but don't plan to until I'm not working with students. I went through this before and it's not a good idea!
