Look at this. Look at those little dangling blue things with the orange nubs. Those nubs are where I have been connected to my IV pole since 1\/22\/2015. At this very moment, and until about noon tomorrow, they are completely DETACHED<\/em><\/strong> from any and all wires and tubes. I am disconnected, COMPLETELY FREE<\/strong><\/em>, for the first time in weeks.<\/p>\n

\"Untitled<\/a><\/p>\n


\nI am \u201cprofoundly neutropenic,\u201d aka my immune system is basically non-existent. This means that I need to minimize the contact of my insides with the outside world of germs as much as possible to avoid infection. \u00a0Unplugging me from my tubes creates a point of contact, thus we try to avoid it at all costs. My IV lines do need to be changed every so often, though, and that\u2019s what\u2019s happening right now. I don\u2019t have any scheduled IV inputs for the next twelve hours so there is no reason to reattach me until then.<\/p>\n

\nSo now I can spin around. I can do a cartwheel. I can take a shower. I can change my shirt without threading wires through my sleeves. I don’t have to worry about stepping over wires or cords or being plugged into the wall. I\u2019m sure some of you understand this feeling\u2026if you who have spent significant time on crutches, in a wheelchair, or those of you that live in an Iron Lung.<\/p>\n

I AM FUCKING FREE.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

It’s only temporary, but I AM FREE AND IT IS GLORIOUS.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve posted before about the relinquishing of control and the acceptance of a lack of freedom, and all of that still applies, but that\u2019s a mental game. I\u2019m talking pure physical freedom here. There\u2019s no better feeling than throwing down your shackles and having the ability to FLY.<\/p>\n

I AM FLYING.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m currently soaring in the air with my arms out to my sides doing barrel rolls in the sky. The tips of my fingers are glowing and I\u2019m shooting chemtrails of pure fairydust out my ass.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I will be plugged back in and remain that way for a few more weeks, but for the next twelve hours I\u2019m the Lueckiest guy in the world.<\/p>\n

This post brought to you by unadulterated self-indulgence.\u00a0No other purpose than to express my excitement.<\/p>\n
