I'm not dead yet
Have you ever seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"? The scene where the guy is pulling his cart through town yelling "bring out your dead" as he collects the dead from each home in the town. One guy he collects is actually still alive and he throws him top of the pile. The man exclaims "I'm not dead yet" (with heavy British accent). Funny stuff. Well I'm not dead yet either. In fact today is a milestone. Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. When I was diagnosed the doctor gave me a prognosis of 12-18 months. Today it has been exactly 18 months and one day since I was given that prognosis. I waited one extra day to celebrate just to make sure I really beat it:) Usually I prefer it when my doctor is right about things, but in this case I am glad he was wrong. I'm still alive and kickin' and "not dead yet". If you are in the neighborhood feel free to stop by, we're celebrating with some cake. Take care. -Eric
