Cancer Update: Just found myself on the bathroom floor bathed in sweat.
Spoke to a doc on the phone, on call, related to my liver intervention of a week ago Friday. He suggested to be safe that I go into an ER for baseline blood work.
I told him I thought that instead I'd self-monitor, and if no further emergency events, I'd see my primary care doc 1st thing tomorrow morning.
He didn't push back too hard.

link. Is 'Cruz' the only spelling of 'mean, vile, hateful, ignorant sh*t?' The Rutgers student, who was cited by Ted Cruz as proof of Obama's failure, is actually a beneficiary of the very health care law that Cruz was protesting during his speech. Student John Connelly: "A friend of mine called me the next morning as I was on the way to an optometrist appointment .... [and said], 'While Ted Cruz was talking about why the ACA's bad, he mentioned your name.' And I said, 'Well, that's funny. I'm heading to an appointment I can only go to because of Obamacare.'"

Bill McKibben's tour is an "I've given up, I've unconditionally surrendered, other than that, join me in some token efforts that I'll tell you in advance are too little, too late. Circle Jerks are fun, and I get to sell more of my books."

Better late than never, Bill. Bill Moyers Unless we “dethrone our present system of financial capitalism that rewards those at the top” while everyone else is struggling, “it will consume us” and democracy will be finished. - Bill Moyers Bill Moyers Essay: Joblessness Is Killing Us. The Pope Says So. billmoyers.com Moved by the plight of the poor and unemployed, Pope Francis recently decried a global economy that “does us so much harm.” In this essay, Bill Moyers reflects on our broken economy.
Cancer Update: All systems Code Yellow [ps. I forgot to mention the heart pain]
... Code Yellow - I don't know if that has an official meaning, but to me it means, all systems under stress and somewhat vulnerable. I'm told that the liver delivers a whole lot of services, and they started the accelerated killing of 1/2 my liver a week ago Friday, this on top of 10 weeks chemo -
I have my first in life herpes infection. Ouch!
A cold that has been threatening me for weeks went into full bloom last night. Yuck.
My kidneys (?) ache!
Energy is down 40%.
Needing 12-14 hours per day sleep, rest.
Tummy pain gone, and tummy swelling, near zero.
I have zero complaints. No one is entitled to better care than the care I am receiving, and really, no one is entitled to what I'm receiving, given what 4 billion of our sisters, brothers, children don't receive today on earth. But I accept it on the chance it could give me as much as 15 more years to Serve, (45% chance), and I've convinced myself that the Services I provide, in Solidarity, to our Global Neediest, can be paid back in that time.
