That's pretty much the story.
Yangdu and I are heading for San Francisco Monday night. We'll return Thursday Night. I'm going to California Pacific Medical Center to get a couple of stents installed -- stopgap procedure to buy me a little time. Will also discuss treatment options. Surgery is so nasty I'm going to try to avoid it if at all possible. I'll investigate the possibility of tomotherapy, gamma knife and any other treatment that might be available to me. Upside, Docs at CPMC are very, very good and equipment is latest and greatest.
I'm on 19 different medications now, some 1/2 tab, some 2x per day, some 3x -- I had to develop a meds schedule. Also getting to be a regular druggie -- morphine and dilaudid in my pharmacy.
As Great Uncle Frank used to say, "it's hell to get old and sick."
But, no weeping and gnashing of teeth, please! It's all karma which I believe to be absolutely fair and just so I have no complaints. However, prayers and well wishes gladly accepted.
Hang in!
