Progress (?) Report

I’m being given a few weeks to recover from all the various medical attentions I’ve received since last summer–

Because I need to build up some of my strength–

[trumpet fanfare] for the colon cancer operation coming next month!

Other than that, Patty thinks I’ve moving around better and have a bit more staying power than I had, oh, two weeks ago.

The radiation/chemotherapy knocked out the rectal cancer, but in so doing, left sort of a nuclear wasteland in my innards. Shot the dickens out of my memory, too. It takes a good while to recover from that.

It’d be nice to be back to normal by Christmas.
