The tumor is going to be treated by radiation therapy, daily, five days a week, for weeks. The tumor can't be removed - it's a big fat weird tendril in my brain, and removing it would remove quite a bit of speech, memory, maybe arm motion. Nuh-uh. Keep it, but whomp it down so it'll stop growing, and perhaps actually shrink

I don't have any coherent response, but I'm thinking of you a lot.

[armoire_man]

I'm worried about you and your leg injuries, too. We're both in the Big Fun Medical Surprise part of our ages, aren't we? Sucks.

i actually thought of what it would be like for you to go to burning man this year, before you mentioned it. i actually think the perspective you'd have on it would be mind-blowing (oh god, that was an awful adjective to use). nonetheless...yeah, stay home, watch powderpuff girls. or pinky and the brain.

thinking of you.

Well, I'm pretty sick. I'm on a ton of drugs. I'm going to a hospital. So, even in a couple months, Burning Man would be way too much to deal with.

But I'd love to do it next year. I was going to skip this year and do it next year anyway 'cause I needed to adapt to it. I think after talking to my friends Jeff and Mike about it, I'll get jealous of their Burning Man stuff and really want to go next year, and do more cool stuff helping the whole thing out. And making new whacky things. Maybe I'd take a guitar! Maybe I'd take the accordion! Yeeeeah! 'Cause for one thing it's a cheap-ass Chinese accordion so even if it fall apart in the middle of the desert, what the hell. I figure playing fakey French sad love songs all over the place while wearing a suit, and a beret, that'd be a nice change for the stuff everyone does on the big empty wander places at night. Maybe get some French cigarettes, a big bottle of wine, wander around a smoking, drunk faker of bad French tunes on an accordion...damn, that sounds perfect

I have been thinking of you a lot. Partly hopeful thoughts. Partly as a self-reminder that ants are not the worst thing that can befall a person.

I am glad they have a treatment program outlined for you that sounds like they expect it to work!

It may seem a bizarre thing to say, but you're far funnier these days than you have been in a long while. I mean:

"I'm the Ditz!" I can yell. "Boo! Give me the candy before I forget where it comes from!"

I died.
