    Thank you, good people. 

    Today begins many follow-up tests to make sure my body’s healing and this little fucker has been annihilated. Or at least gone :lol:

    Probably won’t get official word for a month or two, but for that, I can be be patient!

    Thanks! If not, I’m not sure I would/could go through this again. But that thought and its implications are waaaay on the back-burner for now.

    Bump, I LOVE IT.  Haven't seen that in a while.  Brings back the early days.  Thinking about you Hedo.  Smiling about the early days.  
    Don't come closer or I'll have to go

    I would not wish this on anyone. It’s kicking my ass, but I WILL win this.

    Hey mickey, ready?

    My vocal chords are still burned/swollen so I’m constantly thirsty (but water-restricted due to edema) and very raspy. Super low energy but working with physical therapists, overall just feel drained and shitty. I’m told there’ll be improvements in two weeks, then four weeks, etc. so I have to trust in that and my slew of docs. At least the burned skin on my neck is mostly healed, so that’s a positive. 

    Oh, and I have about half the amount of hair I used to have. That one’s small potatoes but stings nonetheless. Fucking vanity, right?

    I’m trying to keep an optimistic outlook but many days it’s so difficult.

    All I can do is wait it out and figure I’ve got a couple months to go.

    So that’s where I stand today.

    thank you. and I assume the docs say you're on target with everything?

    feel like a shit for asking, but I really appreciate the detail. been wondering after you.

    can you rock the hair as a mohawk?

    and I assume pj show is on your agenda?

    Hopefully by summer you'll be back to pretty much full Hedo. At some point this will be a blip on the radar screen.
    Stay strong.

    Hedo,

    We have similar hair. You may have mine! I'd cut it off and give it to you. You need to tweak with the color, but if you want it, I'm happy to pass it on. (And I am serious.) Love you, friend. ❤️
