When I was first diagnosed I didn't read or write anything at all for four or five months. I didn't do much of anything except watch tv (when I wasn't in the hospital). I was depressed. I drifted through my days like a concussed man. I couldn't find my bearings.
Gradually, I learned to live with my new reality, and some enthusiasm for life, and the arts, came back. Now, along with Michelle, they are my saviour.
This blog will talk about everything that keeps me going as I walk this strange path. A movie review or a discussion of a book may seem oddly placed, sitting amongst talk of operations and infections. A reference to Michelle, perhaps, slightly less so. But they are the medication you don't have to collect from the pharmacy. If I meet the challenges of my treatment with any grace or courage it is because of them.
