Just doin a bit of writing on this lovely sunny Saturday. For some reason I have country music playing in my doped up brain. Its kinda hilarious. But I will go with it, as it adds to my creative fires. 

Hope your day is going well - Artimus

So the chemo got the cancer though I have three more trips to the chair but for this very moment there is no lump longer there Its kinda a revelation with the battle going on but this silly computer game producer still manages to motor on I miss the cowboy He turned out to be a charleton.  But he used to make me laugh and keep me on track kind of a funny thing I am now doing pot gummies just to battle nausea because despite my best I was at unrest and it was beginning to take a toll This war with cancer, sucks I tell you so... And I have no specific thing I can point to in my ways that will prevent it from coming back again So I am on a quest to lower the chances of that and laying down best practices in my hat I still have my hair, though the strands are coming out And surviving I am, despite the fun and games chemo is surreal, and kinda a big deal but you can make it out again Chemo and the side notes  Artimus  (C) Susan Manley 8:41AM 11/11/2023

a powerful read, Susan. I appreciate the strength and humor in your words as you describe the reality of cancer. Being vulnerable online takes courage, and I admire that in you. I do hope you lower your chances of cancer's return. I liked the ending...."chemo is surreal." I can't even fathom. Grateful for you. Have a splendid Saturday, Sara

Well and you get this thing called chemo brain. And its where fuzzy logic meets right brain has run off with the train. A very odd place for me. So writing poetry is keeping me out of trouble. :D
