Refuge

December 31, 2023

We spent a pleasant hour this PM at the Bernardo wildlife refuge, and saw thousands of sandhill cranes, snow geese, Canada geese, and other miscellaneous wild fowl. Plus a spectacular sunset.

The night before the night before

December 25, 2023

The night before the night before Christmas, it snowed on Santa Fe plaza. And here’s the picture to prove it. As a holiday present to ourselves, we decided on a trip to Santa Fe to catch a baroque concert, dine out with a friend, then spend the night at a classic old hotel. The weather […]

Adios Mr. Zappy

December 21, 2023

I have bade farewell to Mr. Zappy with the following tender message: “I hope I never see you again.” I even got a certificate (suitable for framing) stating that I have “completed a course in radiation therapy.” I wonder if it will affect my GPA? Anyway: treatment done. Cancer dead. On to the next problem […]

Two Left

December 19, 2023

Two sessions with Mr. Zappy left. Doc says I’ll continue with the exhaustion and other side effects for a couple weeks, then will return to what Mr. Harding called “normalcy” fairly steadily. Yesterday I hit the wall again, spending much of the day in bed. Today I’m feeling more chipper and am feeding myself a […]

Four To Go

December 16, 2023

After five weeks of nearly-daily radiation treatments, I finally hit the wall yesterday. I had my treatment in the morning, had some Wor Wonton soup for lunch, then had a session with my physical therapist. Then I drove home and was out for the count. I crashed, got up to help Kathy with the lovely […]

Not Charging

December 7, 2023

The day started with my car crapping out due to a broken starter. So the rest of the day consisted of me waiting for AAA to try to start the car, then calling local garages to see where I could get it fixed, then finding out the earliest anyone could take it was Tuesday. Because […]

14

December 2, 2023

I have lain in the embrace of Mr. Zappy 14 times now, which means I’m now more than halfway through the 26 radiation treatments in my program. I have to say it’s been trouble free. The side effects have been minor, verging on negligible. The worst is that I’m tired all the time. My naps […]

Meet Mr. Zappy

November 23, 2023

Here’s the machine I visit most mornings to get zapped with x-rays. (I’ve had nine treatments so far, seventeen to go.) I lie on the gurney-thingie in the lower right, and am rolled more less into the middle of the array, after which I am orbited by scanners and projectors and some things which I […]
