Another Hiatus In My Postings
Unfortunately, there has been another hiatus in my postings. The first one was in January and February of this year because of a ruptured quadriceps tendon I suffered in a fall (see “Watch Your Step or Pay Attention To The Task At Hand,” posted on January 29).
This time the hiatus in postings was because of a much more serious condition, that is, my wife has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (a type of bone cancer). Therapy has been tough – radiation and chemo, which seems to being doing the trick but also has resulted in a number of side effects, that at times have been debilitating.
Taking care of Mary plus picking up on the household and yard chores along with going to numerous lab tests, CAT Scans, MRIs and doctor appointments has taken up most of the time every day for the past couple of months.
The radiation therapy has been completed and if all goes well the chemo therapy will be completed by the end of the month, at which time I should be able to pick up again on my postings.
The good news is that the therapy has been successful and the cancer cells have pretty much been eliminated and all blood counts are now normal. When the chemo is completed, we are hoping that the debilitating side effects will also end.
Hope to be posting again by the end of the month.
