Lunch and a CRASH

Today I was heating up a stuffed pepper for lunch. The dish was very hot. I didn’t feel comfortable carrying it to the table. I ate at the island in the kitchen. I pulled over the barstool and had lunch. It was delicious. When I finished, I was going to place my dish in the sink and wash it. I slid the barstool over, back where it goes. I lost my balance and the stool went over. CRASH! Such a loud bang. I didn’t fall, but I lost some balance reaching for the stool. It was a terrible sound. It shook me to the core. My hands were shaking. I almost went down. That would have been terrible. My father-in-law came out to see what happened. I was standing at the counter, shaking and nervous. All was good though. Chip came to investigate as well. Then he disappeared. No sight of him the rest of the afternoon. Pancake was nowhere to be found.

Shakily, I made my way back to my room, where I finished the movie I was watching, Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning. Then I started The Gilded Age on Max. Pretty good, I liked Downton Abbey and this is created by the same person, same feel. They keep saying the name of a character and he shares a name with a formula 1 driver, George Russell. It cracks me up. I am an instant fan. So today I scared myself.

I’m cutting the steroid back. I’m down to 4mg/day now. Maybe I need to go back up to 5 or 6mg. I am not sure if this was the cause of today’s events or me being overzealous to push a stool back. Either way, I felt weak before and after. I feel a slight lightheadedness today, kind of like after a couple puffs of weed. I haven’t had that at all. Slight head buzz. Maybe it is being off the chemo meds and my head going back to normal. I’m not sure, but I know I feel different the last couple of days.

DoorDash will be here soon. I ordered a couple of Italian sandwiches for the wife and me tonight. Haven’t had this in a while. It should be good.

Thank you for stopping by!
