you okay man? are you getting better?

you better get better or i'll kick your ass

cancer came back. surgical wide excision got infected. i'm actually in hospital now on an IV right now. tra la la

damn man i'm really sorry to hear that

this world needs you

well, thanks, and i'd really rather live for a long time than not, but surely the world doesn't need me

unless you know something i don't

do i have latent superpowers? lead the combined forces of humanity to reclaim earth from the singularity in 2096? am i destined to invent a real-world cornballer?

I MUST KNOW WHAT YOU SEE, ORACLE

you're good-looking. that's it.

man fuck cancer

i watched 50/50 last night.

C+. Good film overall but the plot line involving the main character falling in love with his social worker was bullshit. I cried like a baby throughout.

Cancer really sucks. The wife had a malignant sarcoma tumor in her shoulder when she was 19 and has been in remission since. Although the rate of recurrence of her particular flavor is low, it's still something that kind of looms. The 5 years immediately after her surgery were kind of nerve racking.

The guy in the film had a sarcoma that was on his spine, a situation similar to another friend of mine who one day bent over and shattered his T5 and T6. So on top of cancer/chemo/radiation, had to have extremely risky spinal surgery and be in a brace for like 6 months.

Sorry to hear about your health problems, LDS. That's really rough, and I hope things get better for you soon. You play guitar and you have a really nice voice, so that's a good enough reason for the world to keep you around

Sorry to hear about you being unwell LDS.

netphoria is going to record a special cover of "sending our love down the well"

Shit dude, I'm really sorry to hear that. Sending you good vibes. Of course we need you :)


Now i feel like an ass for having such good days recently....

I blew my hiking budget on emergency dental work, and when I started looking for a job and asked for a reference, my boss in KL offered me a salaried management position with a proper visa. Getting my own place, building an art space with a friend, get to be with my girl sooner than we'd expected, better hours, better pay, being sent to Borneo for a couple months to open the new shop. I'm really really happy and excited to go back. Have one more week at home with not much to do so it's easy chill time with friends. Smokin joints, reading books, sunny days. Throwing a backyard campfire party saturday night with all my favorite people. maybe an acid trip. good times.
:love:

don't get sorry, GET EVEN

with pizza.

sorry to hear LDS, I wish the best for you sir

spare me your pity, send me your pizza

they just gave me some sevredol and, well, i feel a bit spaced out

man. i totally skimmed over the part where you said it came back. i feel like a dick for my post now.

morphine's great though.

i have to say, i liked not hurting, but the rest of the effects aren't my thing

get better you pizza loving fool. it can be beaten into submission. insert cliche.

so far they're beating it with FUCKIN' BLADES

EDIT specifics are for nerds

do you have any more gnarly pictures?

yes but i'm not a circus attraction so

are the people at the hospital nice? is there a fat sassy nurse?

they've been mostly competent. no sass.

today i saw my own muscle tissue for the first time, just sitting happily at the bottom of a hole in my leg

is it fascinating at all or are you just like fuck you cancer all the time

it's fascinating. i am not 'fuck cancer' ever, because that doesn't make any sense to me. it's just something that happens.

on the other hand i am kind of 'fuck cavalier surgeon' because this is going to take months to fully heal on its own rather than a couple of weeks under sutures

uh and the last few days in hospital were quite unpleasant and totally avoidable

praying for you, luke. sorry you got a bad doctor on top of everything else

it's a melanoma, right?

yeah

that's a good attitude to have. hope all works out

on the plus side if i manage the healing process carefully, pretty soon i could have a nice wee leg-pouch to hide things in

yeah, maybe you can start giving your rectum a little time off.
