Just a quick update, as several have asked.

I’ve been in something of a Bad Head Weather Patternfor the last eight days or so. I am absolutely fine as long as I don’t move my head; when I do, we set off a 9.2 Earthquake, and I walk around saying, “Oh, my head!”. So my strategy is to stay still and carry on. It’s not the most exciting life you can possibly live, but it’s where we are for now. My…

On Tuesday Angela and I went to Roswell Park in Buffalo for my followup MRI, and I’m glad to say that everything looked good. I guess the tumors are dying from the inside out – whatever that means – and are “stable” which they say is another good sign, I guess. No new tumors – also good.

Thanks for everyone’s prayers!

It will, however, be a long way back for me. They once again highlighted how…

How Sweet It Is!

I think this brain thing is one of the craziest things I’ve ever been through in my entire life.

One day I lost everything and a month later – like five days ago – things turned around. Then I suddenly realized I had enough balance to – believe it or not –  pee like a boy.  It suddenly hit me in the moment: I think I can stand and do this. And guess what? I did!

Being in the Disabled World….

Angela and I went to see a movie today at Destiny USA, which is a huge mall in the heart of Syracuse. The movie was good – Searching – and it was great to be out and just do something normal. Anything normal these days is fantastic.

But it wasn’t normal at all, in one way. I was in a wheelchair. I was in the world of the disabled – a place I have never been my entire life.

You must understand, I…

Landing in Primordial Earth

Words are not sufficient to describe losing all functionality in a single day, and out of the blue at that.

I have mentioned this before, but would like to give you, an upright biped, an idea of what it is like, if you have an interest in knowing. It is like nothing else on Earth, when suddenly you can’t get out of bed to use the bathroom nor can you even go get a snack or drink on your own. And…

When Positive Thinking Isn’t Enough

I’ve thought for years that cancer is about 70 percent mental and 30 percent physical.

There is the cancer diagnosis, and then how we think about the cancer diagnosis. There are the cancer treatments and the treatment’s effects, and how we think about these treatments and their effects. First there is the physical, and then there is the mental.

When you drive around, you see bumper stickers that…
