…well today. I was originally told my hair would fall out 15-17 days after my first chemo treatment. Today is day 16. My hair loss is nothing if not punctual. I have always said, “I would rather have my hair turn gray than turn loose.” Well, it has turned loose. (with some chemical help) Boy, […]

Chemo. Now there’s a fun word. Lemme tell ya about it. First off, it could have certainly been worse, much worse. That being said, it could have been better too. Here are some of the highlights, and lowlights of chemo: Digestive issues: Yep, I had ’em. They took about a week or so to hit […]

What do you get when you cross the apathy diet, the coping diet, and Thanksgiving? Weight gain. How much? Enough. The chemo diet had better pull me through….Yikes! I get the port installed on Teusday and first treatment the following Monday.

Yes, this South Beach update is six days late. Ask me if I care. The beachhead is secure, the front is miles away. So business at the beachhead is normal. We don’t war here, we just plan wars. So my plan is to rely on chemotherapy to help fight this battle. It may not complete […]

Well, maybe not Lazarus, but my server has come back from the dead. After two trips to CompUSA and one trip to Fry’s, the server is back in service. While I did have a hard drive fail, the fix was not as simple as replacing a hard drive. That is the way I started. I […]
