I am home now. I had surgery more than a week ago. I feel like it too, but, as they say, there’s no place like home. I have just been through one of those “tests” that life throws at you. I am healing from major surgery, and as much as I believe I’m cured of [...]

I’m up, and OK. It was a couple of rough days, the worst is behind me though. I’ll be here for a couple more days. That’s OK too. I’m being well taken care of here and not keeping anyone up needing help all hours of the night. It’s been an experience. I’ll be glad to [...]

I’m having it. I’ll post when I get home. Cancer free. Say a prayer. Thanks. PS. The best line of the day, at Walgreens, buying the bowel prep stuff. The clerk does her thing, rings me up, puts it in the bag, looks me straight in the eye, smiles, and says: “Have a good one”

I talked to my aunt this morning. Our family Matriarch. She’s 89 years old, 4’10″, and a 90 pound powerhouse of a woman. I called to tell her I have cancer. She got quiet. Then something that NEVER happens, happened. She cursed. OMG it was the funniest thing ever. She’s usually a very proper, well put together, classy [...]

It’s funny what happens when someone tells you that you have cancer. That happened to me this morning. I have it. The dreaded C word. I have a very curable version of it, so other than some surgery and a 4-6 week vacation from work while my guts heal and I’ll be fine. After the [...]
