I'm back

ORMOND BEACH - - Sorry about the three month break in my blog but something got in the way: Cancer.  Stage 2, left tonsil.  Less than a week after birthday 73, the biopsy came back positive.  Two days later I started treatment:  7 weeks of once-a-week chemo; 7 weeks of 5-days-a-week radiation therapy.  Add in a two week hospital stay near the end of treatment for being badly dehydrated and you have a fun time.  Not only that, but the radiation gives the inside of your mouth a bad "sunburn" so that you can't eat solid food and that's why I'm on a feeding peg.  Hook up to the machine and get  food through a tube in your stomach.
     Anyway things are looking a bit more positive now.  I'm walking a mile-plus a couple of times a day and working on getting my strength and stamina back.  Losing 25 lbs. didn't help.  So that's the story for now.  Sort of regular blogs to follow.  CHEERS
