CT Update

Just a quick update today.  I would have posted this yesterday, but didn’t want to take away from the memory of Dr. Pausch.  My CT scan went well, I guess (I won’t know anything until Monday morning).  I conveniently forgot, however, what a joy it was to drink 40oz of barium.  I’m not sure which is worse, the banana flavored barium or the lemon-lime flavored stuff they made me drink last time.  Either way, I don’t think I’ll be having any banana smoothies in the near future.  Bleah!

Dr. Pausch’s death has once again brought me face to face with my mortality.  While I know that I am different from Dr. Pausch, the reality is that his situation is very similar to mine.  His death is simply a reminder that if I become a candidate for surgery, the procedure itself is NOT the end point of this journey. Instead, it becomes merely another (albeit significant) stop along the way.

Hope you are having a great weekend.
