Evidence of symptoms
I'm purging my collection of books, magazines, notes, etc. I have too much stuff around.
During the purge I came across a notebook from my old job, before the brain tumor. In the notebook I would write a date at top and a list of things I needed to do that week. I would also write extra notes in the margins or on the back of pages.
Here are notes I wrote when I had a conversation with a Kaiser advice nurse and what I was communicating to him about how I felt physically.
May 12, 2008
Me: "hot" feeling in face; trouble sleeping, like anxiety; when sleeping, still tired; dead
try yoga, massage, reverse anxiety process
Nurse Barry: chill out for a bit; water, protein; talk, walk, nature
I can't believe what I am reading. It was the me I was a year ago asking the nurse about symptoms I now know were due to a brain tumor.
