Quotes

On being 'psychotic' …


“I may have cancer, but at least all of my personalities are happy.” – Craig (on being on two anti-psychotics to help with nausea)


Craig and I were watching Law and Order: Special Victims Unit the other day, which, by the way, is also mom’s favorite show.  Anyway, during the episode, Dr. Wong whipped out Ativan and Haldol to calm down a paranoid schizophrenic.  Pleeaaase, we have that AND morphine.  Good to know just in the event D-spot flips her lid again and starts talking about pink people with megaphones.  We can just zap her with the good stuff. ;)


On staying motivated …


When I mentioned to C that people tend to describe him as especially ‘determined’ and ‘positive’, he said “well, I just try to make it through the next obstacle, and that damn well better not be getting another Hickman.  If so, I think it’s only fair that the technician also gets a Hickman, only for it to be ripped out.  That would be the only just outcome.”  -- Craig, a.k.a 'the forgiver' 


On writing ...


"I'd write if I wasn't so damned tired." (said with a smile) -- Craig, the energetic 


He asks often about the blog, and wonders if I've written on various events of the day. We have a system now where he talks, and I type.  I figure that's the least I can do, given his discomfort.  It's just nice to be able to share his perspective.

  1. I asked him how he was taking the recent news about his tumors growing and he said "I'm ok. I'm taking the loss in checkers much harder right now". CRACKED me up!
