Wednesday, 11/24 -- Gearing up for the feeding frenzy.

The results from Saturday’s MRI are back. There is NOTHING abnormal or unusual in my head. There are no signs of any kind of disease or other ailment affecting my brain.

OK, it’s wide open for jokes about “nothing in my head” and “Abby Normal.” Go for it.

There is nothing conclusive to explain what may be casing the headaches I’ve been having, but the doctors seem to think that it’s a side effect of the steroids and the chemo. I tend to agree with that theory.

My blood counts are higher than in previous weeks. Still not at “normal” levels, but definitely stronger than they have been in a long while. I attribute it to all the beer and hard liquor I’ve been drinking. I’m kidding.

So I’m in good shape for tomorrow. I plan on having a full-on, traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey and all the fixings. Don’t try and stop me.

I hold the theory that if a person eats McDonald’s everyday for a month and then has a salad on the 30th day; they’re not going to be suddenly healthy. The same holds true for the opposite. I’ve been eating very well on my natural foods/whole foods diet. One day of decadence isn’t going to ruin all the work we’ve done up until now.

I’m also looking forward to the leftovers. Turkey nachos are surprisingly delicious. Hold the cranberries and stuffing.
