    Another MRI is clear!

    Had my MRI done last Wednesday, and this Wednesday my radiologist and oncologist both confirmed that there was no visual signs of any tumor regrowth, to go along with my continuing to not have any of the symptoms I was experiencing prior to my July surgery last year! Still going well! I'll be getting a new shipment of Temodar pills this Friday, and will starting the fourth five day course

    Shingles, yay!

    So apparently the Chicken Pox virus that has been idle in my body ever since my early childhood caught sight of all the cancer therapy I've been doing and went "would be a shame if someone took advantage of a slight downturn in your immune system," and then I break out in Shingles on the right side of my head at age 37. They usually only START worrying about that at age 50+! What a blessed start

    AM CYBORG NAO

    Nah it's actually not as cool as that. I'm STILL alive, last MRI was clear, still no tumor related symptoms, and I've begun my second round of chemo wherein I take double or triple doses for 5 days in a row once a month for six months. The "LOLCYBORG" bit comes from a little device called Optune, which generates a Tumor Treating Field through basically all of my brain as long as it's attached and

    HAHA NO BIG DEAL

    Holy shit I got back from my post surgery checkup appointment with the surgeon.

    Surgeon: "You were pretty out of it."
    Me: "Yeah I don't remember much two days before the surgery, I figure I must've been on some good medications at the time."
    Surgeon: "Uh no, actually you were on death's door and your brain just stopped working basically."
    Me: "...OH."

One Thing at a Time · 12:43am Feb 26th, 2017

I need to get back to a healthier writing mentality. Right now I look at the enormity of any task I undertake in its entirety and it just mentally wears me down. It's as though I assume that I'm going to take every step of a journey in one body destroying instant, which is obviously a ridiculous way to look at it. But the only thing I should be looking at is the tiny chunk of the thing I need to get done today, and how easy is that tiny chunk? Specifically in regards to Reunion, how easy is that little chunk looking back on the several novel's worth of text I've already written and how comparatively little there is left to write? How am I not done yet?

Well I can't make Reunion be finished three years ago but I can make it be finished a few months from now instead of never. I have a three day weekend due to pet sitting for my parents as they go have a free night at a local hotel and casino, and I'm really going to try and put up at least one thing per month this year. I've also cut the vast majority of the caffeine I was consuming previously and even when I do only get four hours of sleep I still feel far more rested than if I had slept for six after spending a night sipping Mountain Dew. Feels good man.

Anyway just sort of unleashing a stream of consciousness on here to let you all know I'm still working on it. I'll be streaming in about an hour or so but after that I'm going to get back on it.

Edit: Oh and how does one blog per week sound too? I like the idea of being more connected to you all.

Go at the pace you decide man. Though a kick in the pants always helps.

One blog a week is cool, nice way to keep in touch and let us know how things are as well as get stuff off your chest.

I wouldn't mind regular updates.
