Update 11/29/23 - Connecting with old friends

What has been important to me since my diagnosis is connecting up with some of my old friends. There have been a couple of reunion lunches, like the one at the old firehouse in the picture above.

Perhaps, the one that I'm most looking forward to is a reunion of my two longest-time friends, Chris Coley and Todd Grimm, even though nothing is planned.

I recreated a game that we used to play as kids. I don't know how it will work remotely, but I sure do want to find out!

Here is a link to Chris Coley's baseball game. 

Update 11/27/23 - Scan was postponed

The scan that was scheduled for November 22nd has been postponed. My next appointment is for my chemotherapy treatment on December 5th.

I appreciate the concern you all have shown to me. However, things change as things always do. 

Thank you to Lori O'Brien for asking about the scan. I will let you know what I hear after I talk to the doctor.

Update 11/26/23 - Playing with new rules

One of the hardest adjustments is that there are new rules to live by. Everything must slow down by necessity.

Erin and Britny have needs for sleep and privacy that weren't obstacles at my previous place. Things are backed off to what they were before my stay at Casa de Cuckoo. 

I meet with my psychiatrist on Tuesday. That is the next step in the healing process that is needed in order to get back to the business of dying.

Update 11/24/23 - The Loony Bin

 

I had to take some time off due to overloading my plate. In the old days, they would have called the place I was the "loony bin." However, we are past the point where everything is sterilized so as to not offend anyone.
