Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

We just did my birthday dinner last week.

That's so cool, Jen!

Now we are moving back to Ft Lauderdale, where our hearts have lived for much longer.

I hope it brings lots of near friends and family.

An admittedly odd thing to say to one's internet gang of 20+ years...

Fair point! Though y'all started as friends-in-the-magic-box which has a different dynamic.

That said, it's not lost on me that Jon B. was once belly down on my living room floor playing the Powerpuff GIrls Game with 5 y.o. Emmett, and I just baby sat the AWB this summer. And I'm mindful that our new house looks at the back side of the hospital where I visited meara after she mangled her ankle. All entwined with Buffistae in the physical world.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

OMG I do not want to work!

I want to shop and eat or shop while eating, or maybe sleep.

Wahhhh why do I have to work for a living?!?!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Epic, I'm sorry to hear that the IV chemo didn't have as much effect as was expected. I hope the radiation with adjuvant oral chemo works better.

Do whatever you need to do, to take care of yourself. Stay the course. The only way out is through.

Fingers crossed for you Epic.

It’s definitely much easier to stay in touch with/feel caught up with friends who do social media. It’s a lot easier to comment on a status than call out of the blue! Sadly I have multiple friends who are just not on any social media and in some cases are bad at texting (but great in person) so distance really does kill it. Which sucks. I get the social media part (though it’s unfortunate) but don’t understand friends who aren’t good at texting.

Our wings are not tired

Positive thoughts your way Epic!

Now we are moving back to Ft Lauderdale,

Looking forward to it being even easier to see you when we are there!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Epic, here's hoping the next set of treatments does the trick.

Punishingly Intricate

Everything crossed that the radiation does its thing, Epic

Oh, Epic, I'm sorry. That's disappointing and understandably scary. Wishing you all the -ma, and the new treatment is effective.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh, Epic. I've been away for so long, but have just gone back to read your posts.

I'm so sorry to hear about this struggle and am keeping a vision of that referral to UCSD bringing an optimal outcome.
