Watt's New Too

Had a clean chest scan yesterday. Not only was that a nice thing to hear, I really didn't have the usual anxiety this time preceding the check up.

We're planning to relocate some tendons in my hand to my wrist in July, hopefully resulting in my fingers finally getting off the bench and into the game.

The pain continues to subside. My focus now seems to be on reducing the pain medication to eliminate the feeling of being drugged. Starbucks loves my pain doctor. They might be in cahoots.

Mom has finished chemo finally. She's dealing with some side effects like fatigue and shortness of breath and seeing the doctor today. Obviously, she's thrilled to have the hardest part behind her.

Fleming is Pregnant! The Harris/Samuels clan will have a baby out there soon enough!

Details to follow...puppy, moving, Prius, Ashley, Kristy Yamaguchi, etc....

May 19th almost Midnight Post Script...

There are so many details of my life right now that I don't really know where to begin. After debating this dilemma for several seconds, I had a profound thought. Yes, I'm sober and these types of things do happen around midnight...occasionally.

Why would I go into the details of my life at this point? The blog was originated to keep all my friends and family updated through the trying times. The descriptive, sometimes funny, sometimes touching, sometimes personal entries were created to keep my story close to you and in doing so, keep you all close to me. So for that reason, and with the slightest degree of laziness, I will remain true to the mission statement of this post.

"I thought it would be easier for me to keep a Blog updated than have to explain my current [medical] situation over and over again to everyone. That way when we do get together or talk, we can focus on the important things."

In my opinion, the "important things" are the everyday aspects of life that surround me, both good and bad. Since catching up with old friends tends to be more fun when you have news to share, I don't think it's necessary or beneficial for everyone to have the Reader's Digest version of my life at their fingertips.

As always, I'll keep you informed of things relative to the Chronicles, which hopefully will become a boring once a year post describing a routine, stressful day.

More importantly, I will be thinking and praying for you all as you face the challenges of your individual lives.

Thanks for checking in.
