Chondrosarcoma – ah shit, bob's sick

5:15 PM

Today was a much better day then yesterday! Right from the start I opened my eyes and felt 100% better. It’s seems strange that one day I feel like hell and the day I feel OK. But I guess that’s why I’m trying to keep a journal. Looking for patterns of discomfort.

The burns are also not as painful today, although some chucks of 1/16 to 1/8 in. od dead skin are beginning to fall off, there doesn’t seem to be much actual pain associated with it.

The skin around the burns is still dry and non-flexible but a little dab of Aquaphor seems to had solved that for the time being.

My mental state obviously is much better too … there’s a pattern for you … less pain, a better mental state.

Stress:

Some folks asked if the invoice for $101, 000.00 from Blue Cross was for real. Well yes, I don’t much in this blog that isn’t real. My guess is that’s the reason for the increased stress level.

Depression:

Still glad to be home dealing with this … but again, ditto on the stress comments.

Tiredness:

I did better today. One small simple nap for the day, and I must admit that’s normal for me. I’ve taken an afternoon nap since kindergarten.

Comfort:

Excellent.

Appetite:

Appetite was low today, but there’s a good reason. We went out for dinner last night and I’m still not hungry.

Meds:

Took them around 5pm …. Which is a good time. If I can get through a normal day without taking the meds most of the day, then that’s a good thing. It means I could’ve driven to work or some place and not had a problem.

In general, On a scale from 1 – 10 … I’ll call it a 7.

I’ve added a small collection of Adobe PDF files on Chondrosarcoma. Bob’s PDF Library link is located in the right-hand column towards the top. There is also a link if you mouse-over the Contacting Bob page and chose Bob’s PDF Library.

When first being diagnosed, I found it very difficult to find any information about Chondrosarcoma, so over a period of time, I have collected enough that could provide some information for some one searching. I have recieved many emails asking for more info too …  so why not?

I have no affiliation, business arrangement, or connected in any other way, to any of these brochures and case studies. I’m simply passing them on because they can be challenging to find, and most people searching them out are in a hurry.

They are not all “great” material, some are, some aren’t , some are big case studies, some are little images … but I’ve included them all because you never know what may help someone.

If you know of some documentation that could belong here, please feel free to email me a copy or send a link and I’ll be happy to add it.

Again, I take no responsibility for the content on these other then they are virus free and “real stuff”.
