I had the MRI at 2 and got the results on CD immediately after:
Looks pretty good to my amateur eye - better than last time, but still some swelling. I’ll have to wait until Tuesday for the official analysis. I looked at the last (lung) CT again (for the fiftieth time) and noticed some cloudiness not present in the previous one. Really, could be anything; I’m not too concerned, sort of.
I had my busted crown from February finally replaced yesterday. Looks only slightly better in my mouth than in this plaster mold:

My neuropathy is very slowly, but fairly surely fading – a trend I hope will continue. I was pretty worried that it would be permanent, leaving me worse off than before the operation. I saw Dr. Wang again today for some relatively painful acupuncture and magic herbs, which may or may not be helping.
That chemo tirade will have to be postponed to a less fun-filled post, as I'm not in the mood for a tirade. Thanks again for all of your comments and words of support. I’m really looking forward to seeing you all stateside (I just love that word) very soon.
PS. It was a real mötley crüe down at the Globe at 3 in the morning last Thursday to watch Palin not answer her own list of questions, let alone the moderator’s:

Safe journey back Stateside. Have a blast. Please keep us posted.
Hey Mike - Here is a blast from your past. It is TAffy - your prom date and friend from Middletown Senior High School. I hooked up with a fews folks on Facebook and Rick Brown told me about your blog and battle with cancer. I am so sorry. It is hard to know the right things to say especially given the fact we have not spoken in about 20 years. But I want you to know that I still think of you often and smile. In fact, my husband and I were traveling from DC to NY recently and passed Edinboro, PA and I told him the story of us traveling the same road and when we stopped at the McDonalds in that town you were speaking in a scottish brogue to the cashier. She of course did not have a clue - but I thought it was hysterical. I would love to catch up over email or by phone. And please know that all my good thoughts are with you. I have not read much on the blog yet - but enough to know you have not lost your wit and sarcasm that I appreciated so much even at 18!!!! love, Taffy
Mike,
My email is taffy@steady.org and my phone number is 410-544-7127.
mike, i hadn't realized SCOTTISH BROGUE was one of your languages. did you study abroad? (come to think of it, your irish brogue is not bad either, i remember you using it on seamus, my cat and him being decidedly impressed.)
