In the backseat of a very long car ride:
"Mommmm, Billy keeps touching me..."
In the meantime, great news! I had an exam yesterday afternoon at Kaiser and - two months after my latest butt surgery and two years after that summer of chemo and radiation - there was no sign of recurring anal cancer and my butt is almost completely healed. My surgeon was happy and I'm all smiles! No more surgeries!!!
Now we resume routine cancer monitoring: regular 4 month checkups for the next few years, and hopefully full victory after that.
Here is a picture of a hippo going w00t!!!
The San Francisco Zoo is mourning the loss of Sukari, the zoo's 20-year-old African lioness.
"Sukari loved horse shanks, pork loin and goat's milk and loved to play soccer with her indestructible boomer balls, playing in the habitat’s moated area and slamming the balls against the walls."
Here she is, a decade ago. Rest in peace, mighty cat.
