WELL, WITH SOME HELP FROM MY BIG BROTHER, I'VE FIGURED OUT ANOTHER PIECE OF THE PUZZLE. IT'S KEY TO DEALING WITH THE FATIGUE THAT KNOCKS YOU OUT AND THE STEROIDS THAT FIRE YOU UP.
HE CALLS IT "THE PREMEDITATED NAP".
THERE'S ONE HELL OF A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMING IN FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER RADIATION AND LAYING DOWN ON THE COUCH TO FIGHT THE FATIGUE AND USING HIS METHOD OF THE "PREMEDITATED NAP".
YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF TO ACCOMPLISH THE PREMEDIATATE NAP AND YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO GET IN THE BED. AS A PART OF THE "BED" THING, HE SAYS YOU ARE REQUIRED TO GET BETWEEN THE SHEET. OH, YEAH! PANTS OFF, TOO. THERE'S NO CHEATING ON THAT ONE. IT'S IMPORTANT.
I'LL CONFESS A WEE BIT OF HYPERACTIVITY IN MY NATURALISM BUT ADDING THE STEROIDS HAVE PUT ME OVER THE EDGE. AT ONE POINT I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE COOL TO ADD STEROIDS TO THE DAILY DIET OF THOSE WHO LOVE THEIR JOBS AS IT WOULD ALLOW YOU TO STAY ALL DAY LONG AND THEN SOME WITHOUT GETTING TIRED. I SEE WHY SOME OF THESE ATHLETES DO THIS STEROID DEAL. IT'S LIKE THAT BATTERY THAT KEEPS ON BEATING THAT DRUM.
AT SOME POINT I'LL CRASH SO I'M BEGINNING TO BE PRETTY CAREFUL ABOUT FIGHTING THESE 2 AND 3 A.M. GO TO BED TIMES. IN ANY EVENT, I HAD A GOOD 4 HOURS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT AND IF I HAD ACCOMPLISHED MY PREMEDITATED NAP I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH SIX OR SEVEN TOTAL HOURS OF SLEEP. I'LL WORK ON THAT TODAY AS I'M GOING TO CHEMO IN NINETY MINUTES AND RADIATION AT 1:30 P.M. AND THE PROCESS BEGINS AGAIN. I'LL LET YA'LL KNOW.
STILL KICKIN'...........................THANKS FOR CHECKIN'.

Timmy, My Brother -- I feel for ya, pal, with having to endure this really tough regimen. The "Premeditated Nap" sounds promising -- hope it does work for you. Still am in awe of your determination to beat this thing, your courage, and your typical good humor. We all think of you often and love ya.
