Yesterday I was taken to the nearby hospital. I was having trouble breathing. The doctors have run tests, its congestive heart failure or another pulmonary embolism.(I had one in 2005)

Either are likely a complication from my cancer treatments. At present I'm doing all right. As you can see I'm blogging, lol. It beats watching an endless loop of Sportscenter. I'll time off to watch Price is Right later.

Don't know how long I'll be here. Boy did I have a good knucklehead planned for yesterday. Bad reporting by the Palm Beach Post in regards to Congressman Robert Wexler, topped off by a boneheaded editorial. The contrast between the Post and Sun-Sentinel was incredible.
