Well, here I am at home, at my computer. It’s good to be back.
My heartfelt thanks to all of you who phoned me at the hospital. It meant a great deal to me.
Bob Knight asked me what I’d had done so far, so I told him: chemotherapy, rectal cancer, colon cancer, shaving the prostate gland–
At which point he said, “And you’re still here? Wow.”
And I still have hip replacement surgery to go.
Side effect: I’ve forgotten some of how to use the computer, and I’m in no state to start another novel. I’ll have to come back slowly, bit by bit. I do feel like a castaway washed up on a desert island. But I think I’ll be able to write a “Joe Collidge” tomorrow. [“What? You went through all the pain and agita for that???”]
Let’s see if I can post a hymn.
