well, not really n'or goin' up neither.........more like status quoing s'what I'm trying for......actually what this is or is intended to be is an update...kind'a silly word 'update' or at least that's the way it strikes me this AM.......the operation to clear my carotid artery was successful (I didn't bleed out or have a stroke).....I have about a five inch scar running from behind my right ear down almost to my collar bone and I'm just beginning to be able to stretch my neck a little.....hopefully, I'll be able to get back in the pool later this week......I went to the Oncologist to find out about my pending chemo treatments and happened to mention that I had a toothache....seems that dental problems and chemo are incompatible and I have to have the tooth removed and heal prior to starting chemo......which is supposed to be the end of this month or the beginning of next....we're scheduled for a 'chemo' class on the 18th and told that we can invite whatever friends and family that are inclined to come, so you're all invited.......when I actually begin Chemo, I'll go into a large room full of recliners and spend most of the day there (one day, give or take, about every three weeks).....I'm told I'll prob'ly get nauseous altho' not enuff to be a real problem.....sez the biggest thing is I'll get fatigued.....I told her I was a lazy guy and been fatigued most of my life but she tho't I was joking.......
ANYWAY yesterday was Kellye's b'day and Friday is mine so we're all going to Carmelita's for Mexican food today (I think I'm going to order beef flautas to go with a cold Dos Equis Amber (maybe two).....afterward, we'll all come back to our ramshackle manse on the hill for cake 'n stuff.....I think Millyrose is making me a chocolate cake a'la Granny Smith......Least I hope so.........Joy to the world, people..........David
