I’m writing this at 1 am. I went to bed at 7 pm. Now my back hurts enough to keep me from sleeping yet again. I think this has been going on in some way since January. I can’t recall a full night’s uninterrupted sleep since then. I had been thinking it was only due […]
A friend of mine just got word that she has cancer. She’s honored me by sharing this with me early on, before telling her other friends. We talked about it a lot. I felt useful like I’ve learned something about it from the last 3 years. Strange how we have completely different cancers and yet […]
I broke myself on this house. We’ve been working so hard moving and getting this house into a place where we feel like it is truly ours. I’ve been lifting way too many things and turns out that even when I’ve been taking care to lift with my legs I’ve managed to over work all […]
It’s been months since I’ve posted. It’s not like nothing has been happening, but more like so much has been happening I just couldn’t find the headspace to write it all down as it was happening. We’ve finished moving into our new home in Tacoma. We’re now about 35 miles south of Seattle and 55 […]

So I’ve had a great time since I last posted. All those good numbers at the other end of that VM protocol treatment really boosted my resolve to recover as much as possible and have as much fun as possible given the pandemic. I retired at the end of 2020. Time to take time for […]
I just had my latest blood tests, a CT Scan, a consult with my Liver Doc, and my Oncologist. It was all good news. Liver: The fat spot is just that, a spot. Not something to ignore but no scarring. My Liver Doc called it a “stage 0” Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). I’ll just keep living […]
I just came back from talking with my oncologist. The biopsy did not find any cancer. There’s a small chance that the biopsy missed the tumor but those odds are very very small since they had no problem imaging it during the biopsy. What did they find? The found a fat deposit. That is not […]
And it will take 3-4 days to get an answer back. Just wanted to let you know that it’s done. It was a really easy procedure, the least difficult of all the other excursions made into my body over the last couple of years. They gave me a lightweight dose of happy juice and lidocaine […]
An update for everyone still reading this blog to follow my health episodes. I’m having a biopsy taken from the spot on my liver on Monday, October 5. They’re going to stick a long flexible needle into my torso and guide it to that spot on my liver using ultrasound to see the path. The […]
