day 6 : week 9

Image
It's now day six without power ...going into seven. It is week nine since surgery. I'd love to post the recent scans, but once again, no power! I met with the team at Rush and they were reasonable. That is, they will work with others and be good boys and girls!! Thus far, I have 7 small tumors left ranging in size from 1.5cm and smaller. Talk is about using Y90 spheres in maybe 6 months to get these. This would be two treatments. I still need to investigate the procedure. I took this photo after the storm yesterday. This was the sky above our house after the storm - peaceful yet all worked up.

Ugh...

Last Friday a nasty storm came through... A "micro-burst" they call it. It trashed our yard and a big ass tree is still on my garage... I was in tha canopy when the tree fell on it! There's a small hole in the garage roof, but we can't get at it until the tree is removed. We were without power for 5 days... Finally, we got power back today, only to lose it again as another storm came through (we spent an hour in the basement becuase the tornado sirens were blaring). At first, I welcomed the candle night evenings and silence... But now I'm losing my patience. There's a lot more to the story and much going on... But alas, my phone is running out of juice and I need to save some battery - no power!!!!

Some recent "poses" in a photobooth (testing for an event...) I rock a mean ukulele... The beautiful Andrea... after the show, looking majestic as ever... Me at a show...scowling as usual. Andrea at the camera... These recent photos are proof that we are still alive...and, looking good! I’ve been laying low, avoiding the blog, phone calls and email…not in any particular order. I just haven’t had much to say and needed a good rest. At just about 7 weeks post-surgery, I’m moving around and back to work. I’ve lost about 10-12lbs, which I don’t really mind…. I’m still a little slow and limited to lifting 25lbs or less, but I’m feeling well. Andrea’s back is doing better too. I haven’t gotten out much since returning home after surgery. I’ve made it out a few times for social engagements, and a few times for work. Last week, Andrea and I went to the Museum on a whim, which was great. And lately, we’ve been watching the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup finals. Admittedly, I’m not a
