Today's Fun

I got back from my 9 day trip to Texas yesterday and had dinner with my mom. She was surprised to know that I could get a car service to drop me off at our house (which is about 13 miles from LaGuardia). I have no idea why she would think a car service wouldn't go there, but I can't complain about that since she made me dinner and has really helped me out the last few weeks. This has been exceptionally hard on my parents since my sister (who has also been very nice to me) is sick too. It's hard for them to grasp the idea that both of their kids are sick, but in reality, the best way to do that is for us to overcome our illnesses!

I go to the Doctor tomorrow to start treatment, and I hope the road to recovery. I began eating a new diet, so that it can help me fend off any attacks. The diet, in conjunction with the medicine and the treatment, are going to be my best weapons in fighting this.

I was trying to pinpoint the exact time I think I had symptoms. For the life of me, I can't recall ever having anything like this until early this year. While I do not know what causes these things or how long I have had it, I do know that I had a bad reaction to the H1N1 Flu Shot. My theory is that I got the shot in January at the same time I had a physical. I remember my left bicep area feeling numb and dead for like a month (that's where they shot me with the needle). I didnt go back to the doctor, since it was a pain in the ass, and it really wasnt a big deal at the time. Eventually, it went away. My theory is that the strain of H1N1 vaccine stood in my body and then when I got this stomach bug a month or so, I think it manifested itself again.

Who knows how it happened, I just know I need to fix it.

Thanks for stopping by,
Vin

  1. Vin,

    I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you good-bye and that you weren't able to attend the fish fry. I understand though that this is a very difficult time for you - trying to process everything that's happened recently. I'm glad your Mom was there for you though! I know that mothers never stop loving and trying to help their children. And you've got all of Amanda's family behind you too! We're a pretty powerful force!! Take care, Momma Lew

  2. Cenzo - thanks for the post and for the call yesterday, it was great speaking to you. Good luck starting your treatment today and I know I told you this, but I need to say it again...your attitude is remarkable and really quite impressive.

    MS is Mike Tyson and Vin DeRo is big bad Buster Douglas!!! We all know who wins!

    I didn't know you had a left bicep area..haha

    Looking forward to dinner one night soon and to meeting Amanda. You're the best, keep the posts coming!
