The doc told me three months to a year....well almost five months....means I either fooled him or I have seven months...hell he don't know! Anyway I'm 72 now!
I got out the steroids yesterday and increased my dose and already feel better. I suspect the weakness and nausea are caused by radiation to the brain area that controls that. Kinda like motion sickness or mineirs ear disease.
Anyway one oncologist has tried to wean me off the steroids and the radiation oncologist says "take three or four when you feeling bad, it won't hurt anything"
Yesterday a friend of mine met me at Gibson park with a picnic lunch: dip made from salsa and sour cream and cilantro, chicken salad sandwiches with rosemary and other foreign herbs that were delicious, goat yogurt with honey on blue berries and strawberries. She also gave me a sweater/shirt set that perfectly goes with a pair of slacks. She said she only paid half price, but it was still a lot more the goodwill prices. Such fun.
My other friend took me to the casino and paid for the fun....but we both failed to cash in $50 winning and pooped them away.
In the evening Sydney, Gardner and I went to the casino. Sydney left as soon as he was $9 ahead. I had to stay with Gardner who kept giving me money and kept wasting his own. I pretty upset...Finally made he quit when he had $100.
This morning, while I was still in bed, he went back to the casino and won $750.00.
He needed it.
I'm already feeling better with the steroid increase and so I think I will clean the refrigerator today. Happy July to all.

- The Calico Pen
- My book "The Bastard Tree" is still available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com. I hve had a lot of positive remarks about my story and although I am not making money with it, I am glad I did it. It is one of those things that people always say, "you should write a book," so I did. I like to write and I hope you will enjoy reading what I post.
