Net Impact Emmy Nod

Today's Rituxan infusion went off without a hitch. My favorite nurse took good care of me and we actually finished a little earlier than expected. Rituxan needs to be infused very slowly with me to avoid a number of negative reactions so i expected to be much later than we were. I am happy to report that all went well.

I recently realized that not everyone is comfortable with putting themselves out there for the world to see and possibly judge. Or for that matter, for yourself to judge. Often times there is an [...]

To My Lake Placid Ironman Friends

Hello Again Dex

OK, here we are. Day two of round four of decadron treatment. As with my previous treatments, I have all kinds of weird energy that I’m not sure how to control. One minute I want to start five projects at once (and I have) but a few minutes later, I’m annoyed, anxious, hungry, have a [...]
