Three months

Today is exactly three months since I had the kidney removed. The one with the big mass/tumor/something on it. The pathology said cancer. It is gone and I have been at the new job since November 9. Getting used to it now. The big incision is a lot smaller now. It was so large then due to swelling up from being opened up. I do have a small tuck and roll but it is quite alright considering the possibilities had it not been found when it was.
Three months. Out of work and in a hospital to moving to the Mojave Desert in California for a job. Once in awhile it is almost one of those, is it real moments. Sounds a little nuts but I am still around for a whole lot longer. The odds say I will watch granddaughters walk down the aisle at some point. That is a good feeling. And one of them is just recently a teenager. Yikes!
So for today, the browbeating I was going to give reid, baucus, dodd and the rest of the new communist party will have to wait.
Remember that perspective post? There it is.

  1. Congrats on the anniversary, Glenn. FWIW, The First Mrs. Pennington has gone over 50 years on one kidney and is till going strong at age 67.

  2. It's why the urologist said not to worry, you have a spare! I got an 85 percent survival rating from him. At 55, I figure that is pretty good. The actual anniversary next year will be celebrated with a CT Scan! Which will also be in the vicinity of my 56th birthday. Poetic, ain't it?

  3. I looked up california City and saw it was out past 4 corners. Then, I see you have a map site right there on your blog. When I lived in Wichita I lived out on the east side by Beech Aircraft. I left in 1971 when the economy took a dump the first time. last time for me. MUD

    Cal City looks a lot better on the map than in real life. There are a large number of empty houses here. It is a bedroom community for Edwards.
