I had my consult with the surgical oncologist today.  We are getting some conflicting information, but nothing really changes either.  The ENT who told me the pathology from the first biopsy may have exaggerated a bit.  It changes very little.  She said that they are 60-70% sure it is Hodgkin’s disease.  She also said that [...]

Okay, I have this big honkin’ lymph node in my neck.  I found out that this one node is over three inches long.  That is pretty big.  I also found out it is not solid, like a real tumor.  It is actually liquid.  Lymphoma is not cancer of the lymph nodes as it is more [...]

***RED ALERT***RED ALERT***RED ALERT***RED ALERT***
Intelligence reports show enemy activity within our camp.  We have been compromised and betrayed.  They have infiltrated us,’mass’ing inside us.  The only way to rid our troops of the enemy, is to actually attack ourselves.  Treason is only punishable by death.  After a surgical strike, we may have to resort to [...]

Today I finally remembered to go out an get the new Start Trek Keepsake ornament.  why?  Because nothing says Merry Christmas like Klingons and phaser fire.  It is the USS Reliant from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.”  Only the best Star Trek movie ever!  That is the good news.  I got my new [...]

Monday night I headed to CVS, after soccer practice, to get our prescriptions and eggs.  It is kind of an odd combination, but you do what you gotta do.   I got the scripts just fine and was waiting at the counter to pay for the eggs.  There was a man in font of me [...]

They are His.  No, really, they are His.  That’s right, both of them.   Both have been His for some time, but today was an important day.  Crisana was baptized today.  She came to saving knowledge some eight months back, but today was the day she was dunked.  She was so excited too!  She woke up [...]

The invasion is going well, but it is slowing down.  We have lost over 25 pounds though.  What is the condition of the beachhead?  Well, like all beachheads, the commands are all present.  The officer’s quarters have been built as has the golf course.  The exchange is doing brisk business too.  The enlisted personnel live [...]

to the day, I left for the small town of Ismailia, Egypt. I left September 15, 1988. I flew on a TWA flight to New York, then JAL (Yugoslav Airways) to Belgrade, Yugoslavia. This was before the fall of the Berlin wall. The USSR was still in power and I was [...]

I was in the Aggie Corps, but that is not what this post is about. 25 years and a couple months ago I graduated from high school. Yeah. Lake Highlands Class of 1983 had its’ 25 reunion last night. My understanding was that it would be a casual affair and somewhat [...]
