Some Of The Greatest Hits

No word yet from the MCV folks. Will contact them soon.

A little medical information for you. I heard about the possibility of this and am finding it to be true. I thought that since I had a 100 day "house arrest" period and was taking a 2 mile walk on almost a daily basis, I would not have any issues. However, I must confess, I do get fatigued by day end. Nothing too awful and I sleep well at night. It's just going to take a little while longer to get back to full steam. Pending the doctor's recommendations for further treatment and what that treatment is, the time frame may stretch out a little longer.

What I'm doing is not extending myself beyond what I think I can do. I'm not scheduling everything I can on my calendar and letting the chips fall where they may. Instead, I'm scheduling sensibly. So...if I tell you I will do something and be somewhere, most likely you will see me. However, if I ask for a "rain check," you get the picture as to what I'm doing. Don't worry, I'm not "falling down tired" or anything, just working on getting back to using all of the pistons in the engine. It's all good.

It's interesting to look back to last year's blog posts and see what I was doing a year ago. I was attracted to the comments left by others. Here are some from last year that I thought needed sharing again.

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly." - Buddha ...

"The secret of health for both mind and body is extra spicy chicken wings, beer, televised sports, and a semi surly soccer playing waitress."

"All will be well, and all will be well, and every kind of thing will be well."

"I know I'm not a doctor, but I'm not sure I can agree with the prognosis that you are mentally ok. I think I need "ok" defined." ;)

"First day checking out the blog and comments...your friends are funny." =)

"...don't they give you a house in Michigan if you agree to stay in the state now?"

"...a site listing causes it said that lymphoma had a "twenty year history linking it to black hair dye"! Does it have to be Amy-Winehouse -shoe-polish-black or does that also apply to medium golden brown?"

"Getting tossed out of a chemo ward might be a noble goal indeed. Good luck with that."

Accept the pain, cherish the joys, resolve the regrets; then can come the best of benedictions - "If I had my life to live over again, I'd do it all the same”
