  1. My new passport has arrived. No, it does not have Trump's picture!

    I renewed it online on Apr 16 and they said it should arrive around Jun 2, so I received it a month earlier than expected.

    With my cancer and mobility issues, I think my days of international travel are behind me. If I didn't already have a passport I don't think I would apply for one. But since I had one, I thought it would be a shame to let it expire.

  2. The SWLing Post blog has a review of a radio called the Deepelec DP-666. In the comments section two commenters say they wouldn't buy this radio because of the '666' in its name and the connection to "evil". They seem to be serious, not joking. I was just astonished when I read those comments. Remind me again, what century are we living in?

  7. The next round of my chemotherapy pills (Lenalidomide) have arrived. I have to be alert and watch for the delivery because the pills have to be signed for. Usually they are delivered by a small FedEx vehicle, not the big boxy one. But today the guy was driving an SUV, maybe his own personal vehicle. To make conversation I said, "You fooled me. I was watching for a FedEx truck." He said, "Yeah it got smashed up."

    Whoa!

  10. I mowed my lawn today. That doesn't sound like much but a year ago I was in a wheelchair beginning a 3 month stay in a rehab facility to learn to walk again. When I was discharged I was using a walker. At home I went from the walker to a quad cane and then a regular cane. And now in the house, where I feel safe, I'm not using a cane at all.

    So mowing my lawn felt like a big deal!

  11. @johnleonard I don't know why. But I'm seeing the same thing here. I've been using The Old Reader for years. I hope this will be fixed. I don't want to have to find a new rss reader.

  12. I have a question for the ham radio folks here. Does anyone have any comments or opinions about the Alinco DR-06TA? It's a 50 watt monoband 6 meter FM transceiver. I have no experience with this radio at all but I'm kind of interested in it.

    Thanks

  13. I've now completed 10 rounds of radiation to shrink what was left of the tumor and this week I'm starting chemotherapy for those other areas of cancer.

    When I fell I fractured my left scapula. My left arm has been in a sling with no weight-bearing allowed. But the sling came off today. In therapy I switched from a little hemi walker held in my right hand to a normal walker and my walking immediately felt better!. So that's good!

  14. So the last couple of months have been, um, interesting. Here's a quick summary.

    On May 5th I fell and couldn't get up. I called 911 and the EMTs took me me to the ER where an MRI showed a tumor on my spine that was compressing nerves. It also showed other spots of cancer elsewhere on my spine and chest wall. A neurosurgeon removed most of tumor. I was discharged to a rehab facility.

    The cancer diagnosis was multiple myeloma.
