Living in the here and now.

This is gonna seem a bit strange....... But I've sorta done a quick survey of my general reaction(s) to life-threatening events in my life. Historically, I've always become more "carpe diem" in my attitude toward my continued survival.

After my 6 days of hospitalization from a farming accident, I wandered away from corporate pursuits and took up roadracing again (to some success).

After every hospital visit from roadracing, I delved more deeply into the sport and never let it set me back much.

What is my attitude going to be like if I kick Myeloma in the ass? Will I become more of an adventurer within the limits of my responsibilities here? Will I shirk my responsibilities and ride coast to coast to coast to coast while I write my memoirs?

And what of Ed? How will he take to this drastic change in me? Will I even change? Stay tuned.
