Chondrosarcoma – ah shit, bob's sick

I got an email from Amy Ochalski today and they’re opening a new Proton Center in Somerset, New Jersey!. Sad to say that New Jersians (if that’s a word) will have to wait till at least 2012 before it opens … but at least the ground-breaking has started. You can read more about it here: http://procure.com/nj . If you know someone in NJ that may be in need of proton treatment … feel free to pass them my email address, and I’d be happy to explain more about treatment, of course that’s providing they’re in a position to wait.

It’s strange that I’ve gotten so many mailings for Proton Therapy Centers being built around the country … well the world for that matter. Somehow they all seem to send me information on new developments and centers. I did sign onto Harvard’s program last fall … maybe that’s it.

We’re starting to get a bit comfortable with our new stove, which I now have to admit is pretty nice. I took this photo with my cell phone, so it’s not the highest quaility … but good enough to get the idea across. Now I can cook again!

One of the amazing things about this stove, is the speed in which it heats up. It’s so fast and energy efficient. I had thought our old one was the best for longevity and still may be, but no matter how you cut it … this is one awesome piece of cooking equipment.

I received an email from my friend Rose in Sweden and she was just leaving on the Silja Line Serenade (cruise ship)! … I wish her all the best on this trip and hope she returns healthier then when she left … She deserves a nice break  . She’s traveling with her daughter, son in law, and two wonderful grandchildren. How lucky can you get! All the best to you Rose … we wish you well!

We have decided to end our live radio shows (after all these years) at the end of April (last show, April 27). We’re doing this to free up some time, reserve energy for future projects and do some serious relaxing during this summer. I’ll miss producing the show, it’s been a lot of fun … but to be honest, it’s also been a lot of work too, and my energy only goes so far these days … and so be it. I want to focus on family, work, and a few projects I have going on myself.

So while I will continue playing Guitar Hero … live shows will be out after the end of April. Gee whiz, what am I gonna do with all this free time?

I’ve been feeling much better since the weather has turned warmer. It feels so nice not to be cold all the time and my energy level seems to have returned slightly because of this. Fighting off the cold always burns energy and for the time being I’m free from that. My tiredness continues, but I’ve been slowly adjusting my hours and work accordingly and it seems to be paying off.

All the burns have totally healed and besides a dis-colored patch of skin, and a small lump … you never know I ever recieved such powerful treatments. It’s truely amazing. Of course I feel compelled to tell you that I still glow (a strange greenish tint) when the lights are out though!

Walking hasn’t improved, but neither has it gotten any worse. Somedays I can travel further then others and at this point in time I have to assume that it has to do with my all-round energy level, rising and falling. We all have days that we’re more tired or energitic then others … I guess it’s no different then that.

I don’t think we’ll be planting much of a garden this year … maybe just one small one, with some tomatoes, peppers, brussel-sprouts, and a few more crops. I have to grow tomatoes at least! I’d miss those fresh summer tomatoes too much. Oops … and a few acorn squash … yummy. Besides, yard work will be a challenge I’m sure …. Time to start the tractor up too!

Well that’s it for now, we’ll see how things go over the next few weeks.
