bonokoski: the heart of the matter is a matter of the heart
now, i have been entirely open about the outcomes of my maladies, the most recent being my successful journey to defeat prostate cancer, and its 18-month journey of radiation treatments and later hormonal injections that had the successful objective of chemically castrating me.
still, i have reached the point of being seen as tough as an old boot considering the marquee of maladies being fought at once — diabetes, a stroke, prostate cancer and the most recent heart wonkiness, an ailment and heart weakness that has followed me for the last 35 years.
my brain still remains a little cloudy, however, the predictable result of the four times i was fully or partially anaesthetized over a short period.
