Cancer - Mike's foggy recovery update "... Some days my brain operates like an old tractor on a frosty Kentucky morning. It'll crank, sputter, cough a little, and eventually get going. Other days, you might as well go back in the house and have another cup of coffee..." By Mike Carta Quite a few of my friends and associates have been asking me lately, "How are things?" Well, folks, pull up a chair and I'll give you a little update. It's been seven months since I was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoma, and I'm coming up on two months since my last chemotherapy infusion. Toss in a couple of MRIs, more doctor visits than I care to count, and enough medical terminology to make a country boy's head spin, and it's been one heck of a ride.

Phillip Coffey - the big Cowboy Hat Vegetable soup on the cook stove a'simmering - blend of tomatoes, limas, onions, beef broth, celery and carrots - almost forgot the peas. Still hanging tough with my monthly little "draws." Well, he dabbled in this and a little of that but he comes up just short of passing the hat. Such a fine, big Cowboy hat, it comes up displaced. Somewhere in Eastern Kentucky but searching for it he will never do, probably tethered up on a rock ledge above a Blue Gem Coal Seam.
