Water Colors

Health Update:

Met with my primary oncologist this morning. It’s been nearly two weeks since I finished the latest 15 SBRT sessions. Next up is chemotherapy over 12 weeks followed by one year of immunotherapy. In the next two weeks I’ll be scheduled to have a port installed on my upper, right chest, getting a variety of anti nausea drugs and other chemo related drugs plus attend a chemo class to help me understand what I’m about to face in this process. I have surgery scheduled for late August to deal with a pre cancerous issue with my right vocal cord. My August calendar is starting to fill up.

Staying positive, but a little overwhelmed at the moment.

This chicken was one of four urban chickens that lived down the street from our daughter’s house in the Sabin neighborhood of Portland, Oregon. On our walks home from the school our granddaughter attended we would sometimes stop by to feed the chickens-which was usually crackers like those small fish shaped crackers ( the name escapes me). There were quite a few urban chicken coops in NE Portland. One house, some sort of a commune, even had goats and sheep.

Keeping Portland Weird

This was taken a few years ago when I was regularly visiting Portland, OR.

Just a quick note on the ads you are seeing. I’ve avoided allowing ads for ten years. WordPress nudged me a couple of weeks ago so I thought I would give it a try. If it turns out to be a bust or more of an annoyance than it is worth, I’ll figure out a way to turn off the ads. My guess is that only sites that generate a lot of traffic see any sort of monetary reward. My site, although having quite a few Followers, has very little traffic.

Thanks, Bluestar2012.
