Got the results of my lung biopsy on Friday-no prostate or lung cancer!! It’s a benign nodule that’s growing very slowly. We’ll keep an eye on it. So, yay me!!!!😎
Our sweet Allie has crossed the rainbow bridge. She was only with us for a little while but she brought us light and joy. We tried to give her a good life while she was with us. We are all only here for a while. Be kind to one another. Good by Allie. ❤️
Got the results of the PET scan back and had a good friend look them over. There was a lot of medical jargon but it looks like the prostate cancer has NOT metastasized so yay me!! I’m meeting with my oncologists in January and we with make a plan to move forward.
This is the PET scanner. I’m all done. There’s white noise when it’s running and I found myself in a quiet meditative state. Whatever the results it will be ok. Thank you all for your support ❤️❤️❤️
No morning tea today. This morning I’m going in for a biopsy of a spot on my left lung to check if it’s cancerous. My prostate cancer has been growing & this spot might have that, lung cancer, both or neither-it might be benign. I’ll be back here this afternoon. Peace & love✌🏼❤️
Ok. I’ve been injected with the radioactive isotope & now we wait for an hour so it gets all through my body. Then the PET scan. Good thing I brought a book
Good morning friends! Yesterday I posted a selfie saying I voted absentee for Biden in the primary. To my surprise it’s received 10K likes. I’ve also received 100s of vicious attacks from maga. That’s ok. We outnumber them. We fight for the light against darkness. We will win.

We’ve had some tiny bees flying around our porch laden with pollen so we put out this plate with water. The rocks are there so they don’t fall in & drown.

The tree of life. A motif celebrated in many cultures and mythology’s. this one was made out of a 55 gallon drum top by Haitian villagers. It is the most beautiful work of art I possess.
Only lovers
See the fall
A signal end to endings
A guffish gesture alerting
Those who will not be alarmed
That we begin to stop
In order to begin
Again

I worked from the time I was 16, until I retired at age 66, paying in to social Security and Medicare each of those 50 years. Social Security and Medicare are not entitlements- they are investments we make over a lifetime. I share your anger! 🤯
One of the very best things about life is the way we must regularly stop what it is we are doing and devote our attention to eating.

Tonight’s dinner: grilled boneless ribeye, grilled asparagus & baked potato with a Guinness draft stout. A year ago today I moved in with Carrie. I’ve had many good years, but this one has been the best of my life. I love you Carrie ❤️❤️❤️
Just saw my oncologist & his student-we’re all very pleased with my PSA going down so dramatically. Also, rain clouds are moving in. I can smell the rain in the air
Hey everyone-this is Mike! Our new fren. We got him from Happy Feet Rescue here in Lansing. I was on my way to get him when my car overheated so Carrie got him instead. The car ride scared him but since got back he’s been so active and cuddly that this is the 1st clear pic of him
Ok, we are back home. The CT scan showed extensive bruising, but no damage to my ribs. The EKG came back normal. So, whew! Recovery will just take time. Thanks everyone for your concern, patience and support! ❤️❤️❤️I’m going to bed.😴
Tornado warning ⚠️ near Eaton Rapids moving towards Lansing. I’m in our basement. Take cover immediately if you’re in the Lansing area. I can hear the sirens
One of our neighbors away for Christmas just called and could I feed their cat? Sure. Maybe I should start a cat sitting business. Anyways, I’m heading to the grocery because, food that I hadn’t planned on needing this weekend. Remember me fondly if I don’t survive…
I am just overwhelmed by the support and well wishes you all have given me. I was trying to acknowledge each of your responses individually but there’s so many that I just can’t. So here’s my thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
