The Start of Day 22

I’m feeling pretty well. I don’t know if it due to the Aranesp or not. I normally improve as time goes on. I HAVE noticed two side effects of the Aranesp. One is my morning temperature is higher. Normally it is between 97.5 and 97.8. Yesterday morning it was 98.5 and this morning it was 98.2. That’s about a three quarter of a degree rise.

This morning I feel like the peripheral neuropathy in my feet is better. Mind you, they’re not back to normal, but they are improved since yesterday.

The nurse encouraged me to eat high iron foods. Last night we had beef liver in a Chinese style stir-fry. It was cooked in a carbon steel wok and it was pretty tasty. I also bought some iron supplements and will be taking them too.

My weight has bumped up a bit to 157 Lbs. I rather expected that. I did 9 pushups and 18 sit-ups.

Later today, I’m leaving for North Jersey. Fortunately, the hotel where I’m staying has great WiFi.

I went to a very good seminar on wireless security. The speaker used a special receiver made from PVC and wire to monitor calls in a given area. Very interesting. He exceeded the normal distances for wireless. We turned up wireless in the office for testing and in two days we were listed on a wireless web site, much to our dismay. When I see people with Blue Tooth, I think that they are wearing hearing aids. FWIW

Who was the speaker?

Bluetooth headsets DO look rather geeky.

I don't remember the name of the speaker but he works for AVAYA as a consultant for corporate security. He likes to park on hills and aim his antenna "canon" at cities looking for activity.
