I opened my eyes at 7:00 AM this morning. These days, I am all the more appreciative of opening my eyes every morning, but as I said yesterday, I've been waking up way too early in the morning since I started chemo. Today was the latest I slept in a few weeks.
And I felt good, too. Really good -- well okay, not pre-chemo good, but good nonetheless. I was rather chipper. So I decided to run an errand this morning. I planned to run into CVS and drop of a prescription (my new hobby) and then got to the library for a while. Unfortunately, I did not plan to run my car into CVS. So much for going to the library.
Now before you all have a panic attack, I did not knock a hole in the building. The worst the wall sustained was a little of the paint from my bumper. My car is in worse shape than the wall, but appears repairable. I bent the passenger-side bumper, and knocked out the headlight and turn signal. And I may have done some undercarriage damage, since I rode up over the parking bumper and sidewalk.
Now, how did I do this, you wonder? I wish I knew exactly. I was cruising into my usual parking place, when suddenly I find myself accelerating rather than decelerating. It seemed as though my foot slipped off the brake pedal and onto the accelerator.
My safety belt did an admirable job, but my one worry was that the belt was covering my barely week-old medi-port. I checked in with my doctor's office, and they think I'm fine. I haven't had much more than a bit of aching. I'm going in for blood work on Thursday anyway, but if I need to, they will see me before then.
So, it has been an interesting day (what is about that Chinese curse? I hope you live in interesting times?) Hope your day had been dull! ;-)
