Going Home

Well I have made it through to the final week I am going home for good tomorrow after I see the doctors. No more sneaking home on weekends, or skypeing, or my phone not reciving text messages(this has been going on for more than a week now, apologizes to anyone whom did not get a reply from me). I just get to live in Calgary again.

Edmonton may not be the as bad as I think it is. My friends who live here are great,  I wish I had seen more of them while I was here, that may have changed how I feel about this place. But my Edmonton has been the university hospital and 112 ST. Three months of sirens, honking traffic, 2am drunken arguments, and sharing a small one room apartment has colored my impression slightly. Hawaii is a great place, however if all you ever did while your were there was chemo-therapy you could come away with a poor opinion of the place.

I have been speaking with a psychologist since I bottomed out a few weeks ago. She suggested setting up some goals for when I am back home, so my life there is just a mirror of Edmonton (get up struggle to eat, work out, struggle to drink, netflix, go to bed at 830). There several things that I can do in Calgary once I'm home that won't have been possible here. Those tasks should take me a few days or a week or two to get of that in place. By then I should have a good daily routine in place for exercise, get my self reestablished socially(cause I know ya'll miss my ass), and make sure no ones been touching my stuff!

I'm eating better now, and off even more medication, and all my three month test/scans are looking good. Things are on the upswing, so if I can avoid the plague of doom that is circulating around Calgary now(at least till after Halloween) I should be looking back on all this and be wondering what the big deal was.
