10-31 early morning

Good Morning!

I enjoy getting up early in the morning. This morning I have my usual aches and pains that are common to anyone upon awakening. I also have some additional pain due to the tumorous growth.The pain management plan devised by my doctor appears to be working and I am thankful for that.

There is swelling in my legs and feet today due to my kidneys not functioning at 100% capacity-which was discovered on Thursday. I am scheduled to see a specialist about this tomorrow. The strange feeling from the swelling is compounded by the neuralpathy I experience in my hands and feet. The neuralpathy is a hold over side-effect from chemotherapy treatment I had finished several months ago.

Outside, the fog is slowly drifting in between the houses and it helps to give everything a fall look. As the sun is just barely peaking around the Mollala foothills the fog refracts the low incoming light in a way that just says, "fall is here."
