Clowning around

I have been pretty much following the medication schedule, but I was trying to widen the times between doses. After all, I felt, it is for pain..and maybe I am not in pain all of the time. Well, I took a dose this morning about 6 am and then was up for most of the day. Then I took a nap in the evening and awoke with much expected pain. It was 12 hours since I had taken my medication and the schedule is usually 6 hours... I took a dose, but I also found that I couldn't breathe. It wasn't like asthma. It was more like breathing without any oxygen getting through. It was very uncomfortable. It would be like having a dry mouth and big thirst and when you drink some water--it isn't even wet or satisfying. Scary. After the medication kicked in I was able to breathe again but I am going to ask my doctor about it. I have a biopsy on Friday morning where they will try to extract enough tissue to determine if it is small cell or large cell lung cancer. I guess so they can find a chemotherapy treatment.
Yesterday, I went clowning for most of the afternoon. It was fun. Even though I was just sharing smiles with people uptown. I went to visit some friends. I had originally thought that I would drop in to the Health Clinic and entertain the waiting room and some staff.But, there was only two patients in the waiting room and I didn't recognize any of the intake personnel. My doctor was in so I just said hi to everyone and left.

School was letting out because a lot of school buses were rolling through town. There was a lot of traffic on Main Street also. I glided along for a couple of blocks, waving at the cars and people. However, I was afraid I would cause a wreck. People hurrying home from work that suddenly spot a Clown on a Segway seem to get rattled and distracted. I didn't want to be responsible for any rear-enders so I headed over to some side streets and went to visit Gary and Susan, which is always a pleasure. I made a paper-hat tear for their grandson, Brody and hung around and entertained the beagle, Buster, who was too sure about me. Then I came home.
