01/15/2008: "More Laughter"
There are lots of stories of people who have cured themselves with laugh therapy. Side effects include occasional uncontrollable snorting, pain in the side and danger drinking milk. There are stories of people doing comedy movie marathons. I have tried to watch more funny movies, TV shows and books and ease up on the heavier stuff. I must say that our new puppy has added more laughter to our house. He is really a sweet boy and we are really enjoying his lively spirit. We finally decided to name him Teddy, which seems to fit him well. He is a sweet teddy bear.
Because of my bronchial infection I have been held off chemotherapy since Christmas. I should be getting back to my treatment routine (weekly) on Thursday. The doctors felt that I should take a break from immune suppressant drugs while they had me on antibiotics. I have heard from a few people who have been fighting some bug that seems to hold on longer than normal. My breathing has gotten shallower and my coughing has increased and I have been frightened that it may be a progression of the cancer. Naturally, I am hopeful that it is the illness and I will get better. My brother seemed to have a similar ailment that even caused him to miss a day of work for the first time in 12 years. He too has had some difficulties breathing so I am hopeful the illness is to blame for some of my trouble.
So I am still focusing on my supplements that are pretty diverse. However, I have increased the use of immune system boosters such as Asian mushroom combinations and vitamin C. Tomorrow I finish my second round of antibiotics and hope that these together will help me got over this soon. In the meantime, I keep laughing.
