oh, to have had to ignore my own little tribe. I want to honor all of you for still being here, even when I'm gone. Cuz thats the main thing abut this tribe, to share your stuff too. But these past few months, I have wondered if this tribe is worth keeping going, what is the pont of my starting this? I almost deleted it a few times, but at this juncture, still have things to say and share about the cancer, and so I will keep this going.
I see we have new events here, and one of Shervin's lovely poems... yeah, it's erotic, that's his thing, but he writes in such a tasteful way.
So, I'm back in Tucson, you can read more about that on my profile. I'm getting a divorce, and it's realy tight financially right now, but isn't that how it is for eveyrone? I h ave our son with me, so I want him to be happy. Our new place is wonderful, and there is room for teaching small classes, which is about all I am up to.
The left eye needs surgery, and the insurance turned down the dr.s request. I should have had this last Jan. but now that I'm in town, I will be seeing her more often, so we can build up some more evidence that I need this surgery. I've really been having problems with it, esp. the headaches, but since I have to work, I just pretty much ignore it, I have to.
the right eye, the real one, has a cataract... When I started seeing floaters in that eye again, I went into panic mode, thinking it was another tumor... I had lots of floaters as the first tumor grew. I'm relieved that these floaters aren't anything terribly serious. But what the hell is going on with my eyes? I never had problems with them before... it hasn't even been 2 years since I had the left eye removed, and now the one good one is messing up.
So, otherwise, I'm happy. IT's great to be back in Tucson, to be in this heat, to watch the storms roll in, to sweat lke a stuck pig. Cuz it means, I"M HOME...
I hope to reconnect with my Tucson dance community, which I haven't done yet. one thing at a time.
