Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Exit Appointment with Dr. Boyer

I got a PET scan to check for cancer and some blood tests last week. I met with Dr. Boyer today, and he said everything checks out. So far, no signs of cancer. My blood counts are good, and my hormones are fine. He spoke as though he thinks there's little likelihood that the cancer will come back. I hope that's true! As part of my exit appointment, they gave me a tile with a saying about how "cancer is so limited." It was nice of them.

I still have to go in for scans and appointments about every three months, still. But, at least it isn't everyday now.
