going public

I've begun inviting people to view this site. The possibility that I may be judged pretentious and egotistical haunt me. There I got it out.

Paul, It's been awhile since I saw you in LA but I finally sat down to this site. I really have enjoyed reading all you've written. My parents were over last night for a family "Christmas in August". My dad just turned 80 and is doing ok but I can't help but think that time is running out. His heart isn't the best...Later this morning he brought over a copy of his and my mother's advance directives. Not easy to read but being in the medical field I understand the need. I tell you this just to let you know many things you wrote about I also identify with. That picture of you, your dad and Elliot--I can't get over how much they look alike. I remember wondering at your house who he resembled more--now I know! Take care, keep writing! love, Sue (Godwin)

Condition update May 11

Doug Wright - Friday May 8, two liters of fluid were drained from my pleural cavity, relieving my breath, and allowing me to function more normally.

We scheduled a return in one month. Of course, this is very encouraging.

Alive and thinking

Doug Wright - I apologize for taking so long to post something. I have kept thinking I would wait until some significant event was over and then include it in my report, but those keep forming. I am doing well, sailing through seas that vary in roughness. I had a CT scan a week and a half ago that showed a lot of disease in my lungs, especially my left, but alsoa little aeration in the upper lobe that had not appeared before, which is encouraging. My prinicipal challenge is fatigue, which I'm trying to overcome with diet and mild exercise. My skin has responded to the chemo very badly, with a grotesque rash that bleeds, and extremely dry sensitive skin all over my body. Tomorrow we'll try to figure out what to do about that. I continue writing, thinking, and driving. I just visited southern California and saw Paul, met some interesting people, as well as two friends I had not seen for twenty years. I also visited the Olive Tree. http://movingarts.us/poetry-olive.html I
