Good evening, dear reader. Thank you for joining me again. I promise you a brief entry this evening, as I feel like hell. There is a peculiar flavor of malaise that follows chemotherapy, or so it would seem. This morning, I awoke feeling and looking much like a bubonic plague infected Fraggle. The rash that [...]

Day Twenty-Four
Or, Why Lazy Saturdays Aren’t Quite What They Used To Be. Yes, dear reader, this has been a lazy day. I have spent most of it in front of the computer in a trial-and-error experiment to build a new theme for this blog. Suffice it to say, something is rotten in the kingdom of Denmark. [...]

Day Twenty-Three: Patient's Progress
Good afternoon, dear reader. I decided that a mid-day post was in order. I am sitting in a padded, yet amazingly uncomfortable chair in my chemotherapy treatment clinic. There is an expertly placed IV in my arm. I’ve finished the pre-med load (anti-nausea, steroid, antihistamine, and anti-heartburn) and have moved on to this week’s dose [...]

Day Twenty-Two
Good evening, dear reader. How are you tonight? I must admit, this is not one of my better days. Oh, there’s not really anything wrong, per se, I suppose; today has just left me physically and emotionally drained. Most of my work day was fine, and I can officially say that I survived my first [...]

Quick Hit: Day Twenty-One Update
Good morning, dear reader. Teh interwebs decided to flake out at the house last night, so I’m publishing the Readers’ Digest version of yesterday’s update right now. Fortunately, there’s not too much to tell. I made it through my third consecutive full day of work; all things considered, it went well. My normal array of [...]

Day Twenty
Alright, since there have been some comments and letters expressing concern after this morning’s Quick Hit, I’ll get right to it. Everything is fine. At least, that’s what they’re telling me. It took a little over two hours for me to finally talk to a nurse; this was the case primarily because Murphy1 thinks he’s [...]

Day Nineteen
What are the standards by which you judge success, dear reader? This is one of the questions that I have been pondering this evening is my increasingly vain attempt to determine how I view this day. As with many days over the past couple of weeks, there were successes and failures. Please allow me to [...]

Day Eighteen
Good evening, my friends. This evening’s update will be brief for a couple of reasons. Primarily, there’s really not that much to report today. Secondarily, I’m a bit tired and will likely be turning in early so that I may be ready for work tomorrow. Seriously, there’s not much to report today. I’m feeling better [...]

Day Seventeen
Good evening, dear reader. I hope this evening finds you well. As for myself, I could be better; of course, I could also be much, much worse. So, all things considered, I am quite fine. This has been a day both productive and strange. The productivity has come in the form of household chores; I [...]

Day Sixteen
Good evening, dear reader. I believe this evening’s update will be brief. Two reasons – one, I’m rather tired after today’s adventures; and two, I’ve been bitten by a different creativity bug this evening, so as I write this post, I am actually sitting at my piano. The composition is coming slowly, but progress is [...]
