something to do

Everybody has a blog these days....I got the time....Why not? So, it seems I'm sick. The doctors don't know what I have. They think its an auto-immune disease called Sarcoidosis, but they're not sure. Why?....because not everything fits into their "one-size-fits-all" box. They think I have Sarcoidosis, but they can't tell me why the drugs I'm being given aren't working like they should. Seems my symptoms won't go away. Some have gotten better, but not gone. Oh, yeah, not only that, but I have symptoms that don't fit the Sarcoid-sized box. It seems I have a tumor in my head that doesn't look, act, or respond like a Sarcoid tumor. The neuro-surgeon at OHSU thinks it may be lymphoma....HHMMMMMM! Too bad it took a week for anybody to tell me! I'm getting a little pissy about the lack of a sense of urgency by the docs to do anything. They seem to want my illness to fall into one "box", and if it doesn't fall where they want it to, they just let the rest of the facts fall to the way-side. Seems like they don't want to be wrong....to the point of forcing me to be miserable untill I get mad at them and tell them to do their job...then they have the nerve to act offended!...Jeezzzz!!!!I'm sorry your a dumbass, doc, but I'm tired of feeling this way and want you to do your job, or send me to someone who will! Okay, enough bitching!

I got to go to the river (Siletz) and sit on a rock and fish! Best day in a long time! Wiped me out, but worth it! So many fish! must have seen 20-30 steelhead...easy. Water was very low (2.7ft) and warm, so didn't catch any...had a couple of bites. Went with BC....Thought he had one for sure...saw him bite and roll...BC set the hook, but missed! Crap! We really wanted to come home with a fish....Oh, well...next time. Saw a Chinook in the "Point". Seems early, but I can believe it. Had a great day listening to the river and breathing the air. Best medicine in the world! Had a great time with BC....great guy! Really proud of him!

Okay, thats it for now. My first blog. who, hoo! Seems anti-climatic....
