Wonderful deal last Wednesday—after suffering the pains of hell with my knee, which ever and anon, while sitting or sleeping, would send a wave of fire to the brain, I decided what the hey, Jane has this really good surgeon who did two hip replacements on an...

Well, let’s see. The AC got fixed. Jane and I have both had more doctor visits, all good so far, I have to have a couple of laser fixes on my lens implants this next month, and I have been regaining some physical strength—I am now able to life the water...

Making progress on the book finally. Not as if we haven’t been trying, but a year and all that surgery and anaesthetic has kind of a scrambling effect, and getting back up to speed, and getting my hands typing again is a biggie! Thank you for the offer of a hand...

…is a known side effect of the type of chemotherapy I was on last year. It’s called peripheral neuropathy and affects hands and feet. Symptoms very from numbness to tingling, hypersensitivity to cold, swelling, pain, prickling, and some impairment of motor...

..in my hands. At times there is pain as well as tingling. DOesn’t bother me too much with my typing, but lack of accurate sensation (eg, if extracting a small pill from a bottle in days past, I couldn’t tell how many pills I had in my fingers, but I could...

Ordinarily I hate shopping, but the fact I’m now immunized is glorious FREEDOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! to go pick out my own stuff at the grocery, see new things to try, etc. Jane is still ‘percolating’ from her shot, but she was able to join me in a...

I am clear-headed and gathering energy, Jane ditto. I had a computer bite the dust—or disk—this morning and have not freaked. I have been banned from FB (well, restricted) for discussing solid state drives. But, oh, well, it’s a day. [Apparently it...

This one is a doozy—not too bad, if you want to hibernate like a bear for 3 days. And maybe a little worse if you have neuropathy from chemotherapy. My hands and feet reacted somewhat painfully, but that was ok, it only lasted while I was too sleepy to function....

We’re ok here. And just this hour got word that Jane is out of surgery and will be home today. We didn’t get too badly hit by the weather, but my second vaccination had to be postponed because of the weather delaying planes—as in, they didn’t...

…until May, saying all the bloodwork looked good; and my GI doc set me up for a year from January. So we’re doing great. I’m still having finger and foot pain from the chemo, but the doc handed me something that might help. We’ll see. It may go...

It was a little fraught with confusion–=nobody expected the 7:00 time to be PM—but it was. They had it moving pretty fast, and I exited with a card giving the batch number, etc. It was Moderna. And yesterday the Gov lowered the age for the next batch, and...

The follow-up to the last colonoscopy (3 in the last 365 days, not to mention abdominal surgery) reports the latest biopsy is clear. No problem. Jane and I are, yes, happy! I’ve been so often in that clinic this year I’m about to demand a brass plaque.Not...
