Just checking

Yes. Posting is still possible. Good on ya!

Getting Aredia Today

I am at the oncologist, getting an infusion of Aredia. The Aredia is supposed to reverse the bone destruction caused by the tumor.

Drip, drip, drip. Very peaceful. Peace to you as well!

Everything is fine

Nothing to report except good health. And sleepiness....

Great Music, from the Trombone Player's perspective....

Still on Hiatus

Thanks for checking in! ;-)

It was fun while it lasted....

It is time to put this blog on hiatus. The cancer is nowhere to be found, and there is really nothing new to report. Repeated postings of "I feel great!" are not very news worthy. And instead of posting "One Year Ago this Week" items, I direct you to the Blog Archive box to the right. You can peruse all of the 134 posts at your leisure.

As of tonight, there were 2,260 unique visits to this blog since it started last July. I am amazed at that number.

I will probably not post again until the cancer flares back up (hopefully, a long time from now). I would like to thank all of you for your prayers, kind words, and for doing things for me. I have enjoyed blogging, and I'll probably start another blog soon, writing about other topics -- none of which will be lymphoma.

Take care.

One year ago this week: (Part 5)

The Calm before the Storm happened at this time last year. I had my second chemotherapy on August 6th. I began my Lovenox injections, which would continue through April of 2010. I could barely walk. I had no hair.

But, I didn't feel bad. I did go to work. Little did I know how sick I was going to be.

By August 24th, things deteriorated to the point where I was admitted to intensive care for pneumonia and a blood clot in my lung. I stayed in the hospital for 8 days. I came out on oxygen.

I am getting ahead of myself. More later....
