More info here from last year
But, yeah, last week I went to Yale-New Haven Hospital for my check for stroke-related stuff, no sign of the cavernous malformation bleeding again.
Today I went to Brigham & Women's/Dana-Farber for my check for cancer-related stuff, no sign of cancer reappearing.
The cancer stuff, it's now been 4 years since that was removed, so making good progress on being clear from that.
The stroke stuff, well... Hey, I lived another year. As I said in the other topic, I have basically a 5% per year chance - cumulative over time - of having another one. And not much to do about that aside from a rather risky surgery that they don't want to do unless I do have another one. And no bleeding now isn't necessarily any sign that it won't in the coming year. So, just another year down, and roll that D20 again for next year.
At least I finally got a living will last month so that hopefuly if/when something happens which leaves me paralyzed or in a coma, I can just be put out of my suffering (hoping that, at least with official legal documents, I can avoid the legal mess that stuff like that usually is in the United States).
But, for now, happy thoughts.
