Mike Huber. Give him a shout at Mike at moonwaves dot com. He's 
wondering what the heck is going on and you can 'splain it to him better 
than I.

I just got out of the hospital. Again. This time it was intestinal 
ischemia  and infection caused by yet another tumor.  I went to our 
little community hosp because I had to drive myself and couldnt make it 
any further. I'm glad I landed there. They put me in a VIP room because 
I work for one of their payors. Not too shabby. I also met a new group 
of docs whom I liked very much. Especially the GI guy.  He walked into 
my room the first time, spun around, and asked me if he had any poop on 
his coat. I liked him immediately.   When I finally expelled something 
other than blood he got so excited he told me to name it.  He celebrated 
every milestone.

He had a talk with me about dying, and he helped me see I'm no different 
than anyone else.  We're all dying and no one gets out of this alive.  
You take what you've been given and you live appreciatively until you're 
done.  It's really no more complicated than that.

So I had more surgery, I get more radiation, I have a boatloads of meds, 
and I'll see where this takes me. I'm feeling better and am getting back 
to normal functioning again, and as long as I can function, I'm good.
