I’m at home this morning while Hook waits at the hospital for the case manager to stop by and give the okay for a Tuesday release. Over the weekend, the doctors were able to contain the blood clot by putting in a filter of sorts to prevent the clot from rising further up the body. … Continue reading Anything is Possible

Hook the Comedian
It’s a Saturday and I’m laughing to myself because I only have the cat, Gatita, as company.

I worried that he shouldn’t be … Continue reading Hook the Comedian

It would seem that if I just wrote about it here that this might relieve some of the tension or perhaps help me … Continue reading Who Deserves Cancer?

A few short months into it, the blog morphed into a How … Continue reading The Great Australian Exploration
