News From Lake Wobegon

Where all the women used to be strong, all the men used to be good looking and all of the children are still above average

I've had another brain MRI after much drama with the "tumor board" who couldn't agree on whether a spot  in my brain was another cancer or the result of radiation necrology, aka "treatment damage." My neurosurgeon had the final word and has determined that it is ongoing radiation damage which is sort of like scar tissue of the brain. So for the time being that is very good news indeed, thank the Lord.

The bad news is that anything pressing on the brain causes damage similar to what a stroke might do. In my case the tumor was in the control center and has caused problems with walking, balance and coordination but given the sensitive location it could have been much worse. However, that and the fatigue I can’t shake along with a loss of weight and muscle mass has left me looking like a skeletor and rather useless at everything. All I can say is thank God for Raj. Anyway, I’m working on it slowly. I certainly don’t want to sit this election out even if I am only on the sidelines.

So thank you all for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers, they are working and my gratitude is endless.

 

By the way, I’ve determined that all Democrats and Kamala in particular suffer greatly form the Lake Wobegon Effect.
