Cured-- like bacon

Two bits of news:

1. I had a clean scan today. Fuck-yeah. AND Dr. A. told me that a) I don't have to see him until August, and b) we can start referring to my condition as "cured".

2. I had another emotional reaction to Olympic competition earlier this evening: OMG, how amazing was Joannie Rochette? And she struck her last pose and then just burst into tears?! Oh, you can't WRITE this stuff. I can't even imagine what that must be like and the grace required to perform like she did. Wowza.

In other news, Dr. A. gave me a disturbing update on his other patient who has an almost-exactly identical case as mine: this guy found out about his tumor over 3 months ago and STILL has not had surgery. He keeps putting it off! What kind of asshole would KEEP a tumor in his spinal cord consciously? I want to call this kind, kick him in the business, and drag him to an O.R. What a complete pansy.

  1. I just spent hours reading almost all of both Feb.2009 and Feb.2010. It is 5 AM and I should have gone back to bed long ago!(if I wake up, I read on the computer till I get sleepy again,usually about 30 minutes.)
    What a journey you have been on! Your humor is so.... visual! From boxes of puppies to Gorilla dicks!You make me laugh (and I just watched "The Hurt Locker" so you must be really funny!)You make me appreciate good health and you really make me miss my daughter...in a good way! Thanks...you have a new fan.
