What
Am I Doing Here?
Day 11 of my
stay here in BMC, much like my Obama-proof studio in
that it overlooks Northwest Highway and in the
distance I can see the elite of Nichols Hills.
The
question heading into Thursday is, what is the
problem? Is it just a stomach thing or is it a
side effect of leukemia? If I'd have to bet, I
would guess the problem is going to end up being
focused on my SPLEEN, which already has suffered an
"infarction" (real word) and might just have
to be plucked and deposited on a pile of no longer
useful organs of mine.
So,
another day, more X-rays, more testing and guessing,
and another 10,000 for my insurance company to pick
up. And thank God for that, because under Obama
Care I'd have been home with a blue pill waiting to
die.
---------------------------------------- DAY
11 UPDATE 1 -
I'm betting heavy that the fate of my spleen is doomed
by sundown today. I doubt it will be
out, because I need to be "prepped" for any
surgery, but I have a feeling Mr. Spleen is about to
disappear from the body Shanster.
UPDATE
2 - SURGERY After
conferring with my lead doctor this morning, the
decision was there is no blockage.
OOOPS! After a couple of more hours the decision
is there is a blockage, small bowel, and there
will be a surgery, and all the stuff that comes with
that. All of this is subject to change, I
suppose, but that's the latest word.

On this day in 1997, Paul McCartney, a former
member of the most successful rock band in
history, The Beatles, was knighted by Queen
Elizabeth II for his "services to
music." The 54-year-old lad from Liverpool
became Sir Paul in a centuries-old ceremony of
pomp and solemnity at Buckingham Palace in
central London. Fans waited outside in a scene
reminiscent of Beatlemania of the 1960s. Crowds
screamed as McCartney swept through the gates in
his chauffeur-driven limousine and he answered
with a thumbs-up. McCartney's wife, Linda, who
was fighting breast cancer, did not accompany
him, but three of their four children were at
the palace. "I would have loved the whole
family to be here, but when we heard there were
only three tickets, we had to draw straws,"
McCartney said.
