With apologies for not being able to post for a while, however, among other things that had been going on these last few months, I had been unable to gain access to my laptop computer for about two months or so for some reason, until now. For those not already in the know and without going into all of the specific details within this particular blog post of mine, in late November of last year I had gone to the emergency room at the Central Vermont Medical Center (CVMC), was admitted and stayed in one of the units there for two full weeks. Had been diagnosed with, among other things, a malignant cancerous tumor in my lower colon, which as it turns out might or might not be operable. Various potential treatment options were mentioned and discussed, including surgery, as well as radiation and chemo; if I understood correctly, the latter two of those treatments would be done five days a week over the course of four weeks, on an outpatient basis at CVMC, possibly followed by continued chem...
Photo: Miss Cleo, lounging comfortably underneath her human's new premium high quality walker/wheelchair. View more photos of the walker/wheelchair, here .

Note: last edited and updated on: Thursday, October 16, 2025 at 8:46 AM. At Peace (finding peace and comfort during times of severe distress) Much has transpired as well as passed since my last missive had been penned and posted ( here ), including about how the pain and discomfort caused by the colon cancer has grown worse as well as that, as of recently (Saturday, October 11, 2025), I am now in hospice care (in addition, the cancer has also spread to my liver). This means I have six months or less to live (that said, some people survive beyond that timeframe). The hospice care received will be provided at home, all of it, at least initially and for as long as might be possible. Pain management will be among the most important things provided and is sorely needed (an understatement and no exaggeration either). Besides that, there will be other services provided; including, among other things, a social worker who visited with me this morning. If I had understood corr...
