...and I'm still here to tell the tale. Oh my, I fared better than many it's true, and my latest scans are good so you would think, or at least I would, that the recovery might have included a reset button... but I merely try to pick up where I left off. Apparently the side effects of my treatments are not always talked about until you ask. Prednisone is not so innocent as it's assumed to be, at least I lived long enough to be diagnosed with the cataracts that is slowly changing my vision. We're gonna"look" at that again in a few months to "see" if it's become a treatable problem. It can be done with surgery which has advanced greatly since my grandmother had hers done in the late 60's. The 1960's. Yes we've come a long way since then... but hey all rants aside, George Carlin did a great job, Denis Leary, but even then they only scratched the surface leaving one to draw their own conclusions (nice of them, eh?), so 4 years and some rough road later (it's gonna be a bumpy ride!) here we are. Surviving. Try to catch my YouTube channel (see above) for my Open Mic Tour, and postings of earlier recording with PAGASYS set to slideshows of photos taken at the time, as available. It has been hit and miss in past years, and is largely depending on my daily energy levels. Actually I'm a low-key alternative to the current political climate, come in for a drink and a show. No cover, no guarantee, please tip your waitress....
Did I mention I quit the "maintenance infusion" ride? Yeah, that carnival is over, I just couldn't take the stress anymore. Evidently it's a common side effect and they were probably taking bets on how long I'd last. Well my body was telling me (loudly) that doing more was pointless. So far, so good... you know you must listen when your body tells you, ignore at your own peril. Still we live in perilous times, don't forget your hat...
