Reunion, Victory, CAT scan question

Dear readers - I'm sure I've lost you all!  Will send out e mails to reconnect!  Have had an amazingly busy fall - and relief that Obama was re elected.  Now the real work begins.  We have no illusions:  Obama is no radical, but has potential to guide the country towards progressive goals.  We HOPE.

Went to my 50th HS reunion - Thomas Jefferson HS Richmond VA - 1962.  TJ wasn't desegregated until the year AFTER I graduated.  I lived in the white bubble until I found my civil rights teachers at Duke.  Doesn't this look like the model 40's - 60's high school??

Work continues:  am doing much tutoring and recording case studies of challenged students - my work keeps me energized.  My energy level has been great - the last CAT suggested No Evidence of Disease, but Dr. D. is not sure.  Friday we will find out the real story.  Interesting note:  Dr. D. had me sign papers so they can use my tumor tissue for research.  Ah the tradition of Henrietta Lacks!

Am still fighting my insurance co. since they have denied paying for my radiation therapy.  Unbelievable!  They said the hospital could have used a "cheaper" form.  Having great vacations, Unicare CEO??

So I am pledged to keep this blog OFTEN.  Yea, I've said this before - but am back in the saddle.  Will be writing again soon!
