I figured it was past time to thank Marcia for keeping this blog going when I was too out of it to post.
She took over the blog and kept everyone up to date while I lolly gaged at the hospital, watched stupid movies, and waited for my sense of humor to return.
Without her involvement you would all have been left in the dark because you better believe I wasn’t up to writing anything that wasn’t drab and depressing. Or writing anything at all, for that matter.
Best of all, Marcia was able to maintain the humorous tone I had worked to establish for the blog. You will find this hard to believe, but some people can’t find any humor in cancer at all. We were all fortunate Marcia “got” the tone I was attempting to maintain.
Many of you have commented that this blog has been a wonderful tool for keeping people informed.
No one wants to pester a family undergoing cancer treatment with emails asking what is going on, yet people want to know. This blog has been the perfect way to let people know where things were at.
When people wanted information the most, I was least able to provide it. Marcia stepped in and provided you with what you needed to know.
She did neglect to mention my first sponge bath, my inability to keep the back flap of my hospital gown flapped, or the time I shot white fluid at the x-ray technician through my nose. But then, she probably figured you didn’t really need to know that stuff.
So I figure we all owe Marcia a debt of gratitude for keeping people informed.
Thank You Marcia.
No problem, Gary. I’m just so very, very happy you’re on the mend and feel like posting again, sense of humor and all. It gives me more time to talk about selling land.
What Gary says! We’re so grateful to have been kept in the loop – with the same sense of humor – so thank you Marcia!! Likewise, what Marcia says! We’re glad to know things are finally settling into place.
I second that!!! :)))))))) Marcia!
Hi Gary,
Yes, I very much appreciated reading Marcia’s additions to your blog. We hope to meet her after we settle in Portland!

Thank you
