Howdy everyone!
I've been gone for a little over a week and I thought I'd give an update on my dad's sitch. As you might have read he had a couple of strokes.
After all the testing etc. they found out that cancer caused the strokes. It's located on and around his corotid artery. It's un-operable. So they started chemo last Monday. In 9 weeks they start radiation.
He is in very high spirits and is determined to whip it. So I took my kids out to see him and encourage him during this difficult time. He is doing WAY better than expected and is enduring his chemo extemely well (he claims he can hardly tell he's even having it). The doctors told him it would be the worst thing he ever experienced- go figure.
So I visited with my "worldly" family played pool and drank beers in Laguna and Newport Beach and ....
I got 3 (yes three) new tattoos! They look so bitchin!
I actually feel pretty good despite everything that's been going on... I guess I'll enjoy the moment.
Oh yeah.... and I didn't even rate to get an "invite" to the "Boremorial" this year... first time ever not to be there and I could give a flyin f*ck.
Cheers
