I feel a little better now, not a lot, but enough to eat a single cheeseburger Lisa made me. It took a minute, but I got it down. Something tells me I am gonna lose more weight if I keep taking this medicine! First, thanks to those commenting on my surgery. I appreciate it. If I get a little more... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm still here, still kicking and kvetching, but I don't feel so good after they gave me this medicine. My sweet wife has been taking care of me, so I am willing to gut this out. Surgery is set for mid-Tuesday morning ~ 9:30 in the morning. It is a tube down the throat and not an actual cutting of... Sign in to see full entry.

Purple Haze
I'm sorry to be so late here, but today has been a day already, and I am ready to go to bed. The doctor/surgeon put me on a liquid med that I believe may be featured on the menu of the top bars in Hell. It tastes vile, burns my stomach, and drags me out big time. I am falling asleep if I stop to... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday was a stressful day to say the very least. Things have calmed down a bit and we are forming a plan. I am going to have surgery on Tuesday at about 11:30 AM EST. This isn't a complicated procedure. Basically, it is an endoscopy with the intent of killing a pair of clumps of cancer in my... Sign in to see full entry.

This is from my FB page: Okay. I'm probably going to regret doing this but... I've posted photos of myself that show the massive weight loss I have had over the course of the last ten months, well over 125#. I was not attempting to lose this weight, it just 'happened.' Well, at the urging of my... Sign in to see full entry.

We went over to the church across the street this morning and met a lot of nice people again. They had about 35 people in attendance, but I suppose that is because there are about nine churches here within ten blocks of one another. There's not a lot on our agenda today. It's overcast with a light... Sign in to see full entry.

It was a beautiful night last night. The temps dropped into the low 70s with a pleasant breeze coming in the window from the Gulf. The high today will stay around 85, a significant difference from the highs in the mid to upper 90s we have had the last week or more. I wanted to 'sleep in' this... Sign in to see full entry.

FREE BOOK
We had a slightly cooler day yesterday and today is supposed to be nicer. Still hotter than sin, but cooler. We will be in the mid-80s over the weekend. I want to get the fake wood flooring laid down in two different rooms if it stays nice. I managed to get some writing done yesterday for the first... Sign in to see full entry.

A Reason to LIKE High Fuel Prices
It was a super hot day yesterday at 96 degrees and we don't have AC. We kept the inside of the house at a 'cool' 85, but as long as we sat outside in the shade of the trees on the south end of our property, it was rather pleasant. We didn't get much done, but we drank some ice tea, talked about all... Sign in to see full entry.

Cancer Claims A Friend
I think I mentioned that a good friend of mine from the racing world passed away at the age of 39 after a 16-month fight with cancer. I write the press releases for Crystal Motor Speedway in Crystal Michigan, and when wet conditions caused the track to cancel, I wrote a eulogy for my friend. Most... Sign in to see full entry.
