"Getting Better" came out on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. It was a song known for it's positive message, but with a minor undercurrent. Mainly written by Paul, John threw in a few of the negative lyrics like "it cant get no worse", and "I used to be cruel to my woman." I will take Paul's positive overall tone for myself. I have been breaking fevers again, again this morning down to 98 flat. I am still in hospital until some white blood counts and other less important counts come up. And I am scheduled to start chemo session number three next Wednesday...
My reason for picking this song today is to give me a positive jumpstart into going home at least for a few days. I got here Sunday...
To quote one good lyric; "I have to admit it's getting better, it's getting better, Since you've been mine." To my wife and family- that quote was for you. To everyone else sending all of the positive energy and prayers, oh heck you too.
Welcome to my Blog
I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg
