Finally, getting together with my doctor’s office for the results on the blood work I had done. I swear, it’s impossible to reach them, or they don’t call back. Much as I love my doctor, I think I’ll be finding another one just to avoid having to deal with his staff. In any case, all . . . → Read More: The numbers don’t lie Not by choice. The past few days I’ve felt decidedly unwell: dizzy, nauseated, massive headache, arms feel heavy and weak at the same time, etc. Not the flu – I get a flu shot every year now given all the cancer nonsense and the fact that my white blood cell count is not back to . . . → Read More: Taking the day off The Susan G Komen Foundaton continues its Hindenburg-esque disaster campaign. Today, they’ve issued this press release.

I wasn’t feeling quite well over the weekend, and today still do not feel as well as I did last weekend. I’m not quite sick now that whatever minor sinus infection I had cleared itself out, but also not quite feeling a hundred percent. Generally, I blame . . . → Read More: What I did on my non-vacation weekend The problem with spending quite a bit of time in doctors’ offices and hospitals is that these places are more often than not filled with sick people. While this is not entirely surprising – after all, how often do well people go to the doctor or visit a hospital unless they’re visiting someone or working . . . → Read More: Bugs, redux Since before the actual discovery of the big C in my right lung, I’d been having some coughing, pain, and shortness of breath here and there.
