Starting with this post, I’ll try to provide a little variety by dividing things into sections: The Update: how do I feel?  Uh…not so interesting, just the way it is, but some of you ask and this’ll be a good place to let everyone know. The Musing: random musings on the state of my mutant […]

Round 1 complete…on my way home.  Thanks for all the visits, deliveries and calls to make it all pass quicker.  My immune system is now on its way down, so just a reminder to avoid me if you’re at all sick and to do the sanitizer-thingy when you come by.  OK, more later…I’m outa here!

So, as you might recall, our gimpy hero was desperately trying to break out of Los Robles hospital yesterday.  By 5:00pm, they couldn’t […]

(From 2/13/14) Thanks everyone for all your calls and visits during my mystery tour here at Los Robles Hospital (a sort of slow-motion episode of House going on here…).  While I feel a bit presumptuous boring you with all the details of my personal health, I’ll put them out there to keep you “filled in” […]

It has been a long time since I wrote here…and that’s a good thing.  I guess I felt the “cancer thing” was about done after over a year of clean scans.  And maybe it is/was/will be.  But regardless, I thought I’d share some thoughts I’ve had over the last year.  Some of this might seem […]
