Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles: More than just a piece of crud

http://crudchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/11/more-than-just-piece-of-crud.html

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Saturday, November 21, 2009. More than just a piece of crud. So we were wrong. In our defense, the doctors were wrong, too. For the first six months, they said, "That mass in your husband's brain? It's a blood clot. Annoying maybe, but no worries. Here's a prescription for some heavy-duty anticoagulant.". Then, months and many repeat scans later: "That mass in your husband's brain? Then, after more weeks- and the biopsy: "That mass in your husband's brain? Awesome I...

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Wednesday, January 27, 2010. Just in case you were wondering. Yes, I've read this scary-sounding article. I certainly gave this whole topic a lot of thought before we even arrived here at the Really Famous Hospital for proton therapy. After all, getting sloppy with the beam emitted by a linear particle accelerator could be very bad news, just like the awful stories reported by the NYTimes. Here come the Field Marshall. The gold medals. In fact, not only would th...

http://crudchronicles.blogspot.com/2010/02/best-worst-lists.html

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Saturday, February 6, 2010. The Best / Worst Lists. Now that we're past the halfway mark in P.'s treatments (yay! I feel we've logged the requisite time and experience to pass judgment on the best and worst features of what we've been dealing with to date. I'd like to end this post on a positive note, so let's get the. Out of the way first:. Worst List # 5. Shopping just isn't the same here. How's that.

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles: Back to the Back Story: Life B.C., Part Two

http://crudchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/back-to-back-story-life-bc-part-two.html

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Monday, December 7, 2009. Back to the Back Story: Life B.C., Part Two. We ourselves refrained from biting any health care providers during our time there. The prevailing opinion was that we were looking at a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Of some sort. But the blood clot idea was their story and they were sticking to it, at least for the time being. By July, we had clearance to travel. So we did. We had a fabulous time. Well, forgeddaboutit. It's a tumor. I'm the...

http://crudchronicles.blogspot.com/2010/03/re-entering-earths-atmosphere.html

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Sunday, March 7, 2010. We've been hurtling through the earth's atmosphere over the last couple of days, re-entering our normal plane of existence after our sojourn in that Alternate Universe of Cancer. Now that a few days have gone by, and the flurry of unpacking and greeting everyone here has settled, I've spent some time pondering why coming home felt so very different this time. Here's what I've come up with:. And finally, despite some past odd travel moments, ou...

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles: Finishing up the back story: Life BC, Part Three

http://crudchronicles.blogspot.com/2009/12/finishing-up-back-story-life-bc-part.html

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Friday, December 11, 2009. Finishing up the back story: Life BC, Part Three. Learning that there probably never was a blood clot in the first place (can we get a refund for all that warfarin, do you think? Now we were entering the surreal and scary land of tumors. I thought. Somehow letting my fingers go walking through the Yellow Pages, virtual or hard copy, hardly seemed the ticket. I'm not comfortable doing that to find a good plumber. The panic level ratcheted u...

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Sunday, February 28, 2010. What's with the plural, anyway? Astute readers such as yourself certainly have noticed by now that this blog is riddled with first-person plural pronouns, as in-. Feel a bit like we're sailing off into the unknown. Adventures were beginning last week. Past the halfway mark. Might sail through the rest of the treatments just fine. Soon, it [ringing the bell] will be our. What is up with this?

Off the Deep End: The Crud Chronicles. Monday, November 30, 2009. And now for the health insurance piece: Let the games begin. The medical files have. Arrived at the Really Famous Hospital, according to the FedEx website and my handy tracking number, but they haven't yet made it to the right desk, Dr. God's assistant tells me. The mail clerk must still be out for a smoke. That doesn't mean that I've been obsessing about this delivery all day. Oh no, I now have a whole new. See what I mean? One person eve...
