I Thought I Was Done With This . . . Wednesday, August 31, 2011. In celebration of my decision to just say no to poop pills, I made myself a giant latte this morning, my usual—split quad grande with whole milk—after days and days of being careful about the caffeine/lactose ratio (the combo can be quite the roto rooter). I had been having a mere 1 shot americano or some such thing, just enough to stave off withdrawal headaches on top of everything else. Um, yeah. Guts not ready for the big time. I did a q...

I Thought I Was Done With This . . . Thursday, September 30, 2010. Hi all- I am, ideally, going to be over at The Dilettante Traveler. For the next couple months. Come along for the ride! Tuesday, September 28, 2010. I had my late-evening MRI last week, and it turned out to be pretty much late-. Day (sort of) back! Strong. Healthy. Well. It All Plays Together. Note: I began writing this post about 10 days ago, but the message is still valid so here I go completing it, and sending it off anyway. Suggestio...

I Thought I Was Done With This . . . Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Wherein Witch Doctor Dan Makes a Diagnosis* that is Subsequently Corroborated by the Western Medical Establishment. My words only. Dan cannot and does not actually diagnose. When I met Daniel Lane NIS Specialist. This version)" to me as a kid, so naturally that's where I went after my first appointment with this seemingly incongruous method of healing.

I Thought I Was Done With This . . . Saturday, January 22, 2011. The Most Important Lesson. In my post the other day. I mentioned remembering my lessons- live in the moment, be grateful, walk the dogs, hug Ian. The lesson I had forgotten to mention was this: There is ALWAYS enough time. Friday, January 21, 2011. Since then, we've discovered the following things: for normal drugs, my mail-order pharmacy is Medco. For special drugs, i.e., Xeloda, Medco has a high-end pharmacy called Accredo tha...Once all ...

I Thought I Was Done With This . . . Tuesday, August 24, 2010. I'm in Idaho right now and, true to form, Spackle has again been somewhat mirroring my own medical issues—in this case the procedure even had the same name. My lumpectomy was 11 years ago, of course, and took out a malignant tumor and his was yesterday and took out two benign cysts, but nevertheless. Like mother, like dog. Read about it here.

I Thought I Was Done With This . . . Tuesday, July 27, 2010. Sometimes notice it . . . really, it's quite strange. My right eye, however, maintained its nearsightedness and astigmatism and added both fluid under the cornea—near the center of my focal point so therefore visible all the time as a distortion of any line I look at—any. A tiny part of me continues to wonder, though, if maybe I'm somehow seeing something. Now Who's to say that what we learned back then was the absolute truth? The Stuff of Life.

I Thought I Was Done With This . . . Friday, October 28, 2011. Note: this was begun on the afternoon of Tuesday, 25 October). Careful readers may remember me writing recently. About the choices I was making in my life, and how pleased I was with them (it was only the second most-recent post; the most recent before this being the actual first essay I submitted to class). Even if the cancer were to go away (I had discovered about myself and my path), I would still be taking my editing course. I am discover...
