Cancer Free

This is my 500th blog. I apologize to anyone who is reading this, because I haven't written anything in 2 weeks. No excuse. Although, some stuff has happened. When one wants to write a title that is attention-grabbing, it is good to write something that folks will go "Oh". So, that's what has happened to me. A month ago, they did a CT scan on me and found some spots on my lungs. Maybe cancer. Maybe not. When one is presented with a cancer diagnosis, your world stops. You think about your mortality. You want to examine your life. So, last Tuesday I went to a follow-up with the cancer doctor, and he said that I don't have cancer. I do still have a little pneumonia, but that is treated with antibiotics. I took the first round yesterday, and it made me violently ill. I ended up in the ER again for almost 6 hours. They took some blood and did another CT scan and x-ray. Not the most fun in the world, but I was able to sleep last night. I feel better today. I am not sure how much longer I have to stay at the homeless shelter. It may be a few days or a month. At any rate, a friend has suggested I room with him. I still don't have a job, but I will be able to start selling on the internet again. Something that I have truly missed over the last few months. So, this is my 500th blog. Have I mentioned that before? Probably so. I hope you are well. I will try to write more later. God bless us everyone.
