I’m home today recuperating from yesterday’s bone marrow biopsy—I milk these occasions for all they’re worth. It hurts, I can’t shower for 24 hours, and…well, you get the idea. Apparently there is no cause for alarm, but my oncologist does seem a bit more motivated than usual to learn why one of my counts has gone from .004 to .011 (I really should have paid more attention to math class).

My sister, Kim, sent me a youtube link that I forwarded to everyone in my address book. I expressed my concern that we need to exercise caution when viewing such productions by being alert to the Bush Administration’s seemingly successful tactic of confusing support with patriotism. Anyway, it’s worth your viewing and contemplation, not to mention that it has provided me with a shortcut to today’s post.
