Android App

This is our first try with the Android app. We'll just plant this here to see how it shows up in the blog.

Where's The App?

The other blogs we manager have benifited squarely by having Android apps of them.  WordPress just came on board soon after Blogger loaded theirs.  Live Jornal has had an app for a while, as has Postereous.  SquareSpace up until now has been quite inovative.  

Get with it crew!!

Merry Christmas

This was a very pleasant morning.  Just the stocking and core family gifts.  The major gathering is tomorrow.  That will be fun.  This was pleasant.  They are different in subtle ways with neither being better, but more appropriate to the time, place and people.

The gist of the matter, this is a holiday, last year, I didn't know if I would make or not.  I am so happy I did.

Love is good.  Don't waste it!!!

Hogmanay!!!

Thanks for the well wishes

There are times when you find out just how many people are part of your life.  This has been one of them.  The routine of life, where you get up, drink you tea, shower, get dressed and go off to work, work, finish work, come home, have dinner, watch TV, answer email, go to bed and see only the few members of your family and the people with whom you work builds a false sense of being part of a very small community.

Then the proverbial fan became struck and my support structure came together with amazing speed and solidity.  I can only say thank you so many times, but consider it a looped messages that will only end when I do.

Hello June!

There's been a dearth of entries because I am currently in limbo.
The chemotherapy has stopped and I am slowing getting over the side effects. We are hoping the swelling brought on by the steroids will abate.

Next is the PET scan.  This is the limbo.  Until the scan I am in a state of not knowing.  Not knowing is probably the worst state someone like me, a confessed information junkie, can be in.

When we know something, you will know it.  Thanks for you continued support over this long-long process.

Update – Chemo

This is picture of the tin man that welcomed us to our son's school play on Saturday night.

I thought it reflected very well how I feel after the fifth of six sessions of Chemotherapy. 

Parts out of place.

While I probably should have just taken the weekend totally off, even staid in bed, I refuse to let my life stop especially if the eventual permanent stopping has in anyway be accelerated by this.

During a previous time when I was taken out of the flow of life by a catastrophic event information I had gleaned from a book by Dr. Jonathon Miller, A Body in Question helped me substantially recover.

In the book, Dr. Miller mentions how a person when placed in the medical environment becomes a patient. As a patient they assume they are sick and therefore succumb to what they believe are the inevitable results.

I took that advice to heart and determined through dress and manner to be a guest of the hospital, not a patient.  Using the same perspective, I am determined to be guest of this cancer and not its supporter.

To get to the grit of what is happening today, the effects are worse, more pronounced and extremely annoying.  Now it's time to get on with living as best I can with what I have.
