I'll see what I can do!<br /><br />@TrickyRicky- If a government official made that prediction, Johnny might outlive us all.<br /><br />@Anonymous- I'm glad you've enjoyed the laughs, and I hope to keep bringing them your way.<br /><br />@John Robert Mallernee- I'm so sorry for your multiple losses, John. We're doing all we can to beat this thing.<br /><br />@Texas2Step- Rather than an angel or devil on my shoulder, I think I've got a little court jester. Although they looked like clowns, their comments to the king were frequently barbed and laced with harsh truths that others couldn't speak, thinly disguised as humor.<br /><br />@Greg- Congratulations on your wife's recovery and thanks for the success story about the transplant! And you're right, of course, about chemo just being poison. Kathy was spared nausea, but her body took a beating in myriad other ways. And this coming Tuesday, it begins again.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872824448661214592.post-69620745605189390222021-10-28T11:25:23.769-05:002021-10-28T11:25:23.769-05:00Molly Ivins once wrote (of watching the Texas stat...Molly Ivins once wrote (of watching the Texas state legislature) that her only options were to laugh, cry, or throw up. Since two are unhealthy, she chose to laugh.<br /> Wishing strength and wellness for both of you. BTDT. My wife is now three years cancer free, with only some residual neuropathy for long term effects, though the saddest part for me is how much it has aged her. Chemo (and radiation) are POISONS. The goal is simply to make the cancer turn up toes and die before it kills the patient. A close acquaintance was ready to give up when his oncologist told him that a stem cell transplant could give him ten years (or more) that he would not otherwise have. It did almost exactly that. He retired from the rat race, and proceeded to write, and accomplish, a "bucket list".Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06183459827508486809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7872824448661214592.post-17465172890016223352021-10-27T14:21:52.079-05:002021-10-27T14:21:52.079-05:00Lots of prayer, and lots of dark humor, are the be...Lots of prayer, and lots of dark humor, are the best for getting us through dark times.
