Good (late) morning! I'm feeling about 90% normal... which is pretty darn good for a guy who ain't been normal in years... and I'm trying to slowly get back into the swing of things. The wife and I went out for breakfast and had a great time. We both had eggs and bacon. Mine were scrambled and Lisa... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, while not feeling good yet, I am substantially better than I was five hours ago. Lisa made me a couple of nice cheeseburgers and some hand-made fries and I was able to keep them down. I see my wife posted about it being our second anniversary. I meant to do that when I was here earlier, but I... Sign in to see full entry.
Ehh, off to a very slow start today. The hospital called me early this morning (and I am not a morning person!). The doctor wanted to do a repeat bone scan "just to be sure" everything is under control, and to their surprise, they had an immediate appointment at 8:15. Now these scans aren't painful...

Alright, a 90-minute nap seems to have recharged the body battery enough to type a few words. I routinely will make a post on FB several times a week, telling people that should they need to talk, I am always willing to LISTEN... not tell you what to do, but listen. I tell them, anytime, any day,... Sign in to see full entry.
Whew. I ended up talking half the night with a friend who was having some issues, so even though it's the start of a brand new day, I'm off like a raging herd of turtles. More when I catch my breath. Sign in to see full entry.

Another warm day is on the way, but we were up early and got a few things done before the sun fired up. We are closing in on a plan to leave, but it isn't solid yet. Ehh. As much as it bothers me to say it, my Parkinson’s (PD) is getting worse... again. I barely wrote anything for the entirety of... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Grief Postng in my Vella Project
I just posted this on my 'Dealing With Grief' Vella. It should go live sometime this evening. V No One Is Immortal! “The idea of immortality, that like a sea has ebbed and flowed in the human heart, with its countless waves of hope and fear, beating against the shores and rocks of time and fate, was...

I had to remind myself to take an extra potassium pill this late morning. I began to feel a little lightheaded with some fluttering feeling in my chest, and I realized how much I had been sweating so I took another potassium pill. I take 60meq/day, but on hot, hot days, I will take 80 meq. Low... Sign in to see full entry.

Whew. Hopefully, that was the last of the chemo. I am home, and I am about to rest for an hour or maybe three. I spoke with Annicita for a while as she was making her way to the north side of Florida. She seems to be getting happier about her move from south to north. Lisa was up most of the night,...

I have to wander in and get the last treatment for any residual cancer that MIGHT be lingering someplace in me. My blood work is coming back clean, but cancer can be a stealth predator, and I'm not taking any chances. We have everything packed we will need to take with us when we leave for Michigan,...
