It's been way to long that I posted an update on my blog; since last August to be exact. So here it is.

Since my surgery last June I have had my PSA check 3 times. The most recent was April 2nd. All 3 times it has been <0.01 which is un-detectable. Great news as it appears that the surgery was a complete success and I am cancer free.

This past February my Attorney and I reached a settlement with Duke hospital for my humungous  medical bill. This included any outstanding balance at that time wiping out the entire amount that was owed which was over $100,000. We settled for $10,000. What a huge weight off my shoulder. For the first time in a long time I can breathe again. I no longer fear going to the mail box and getting another medical bill. I no longer cringe when my phone ring and need to dodge another bill collector. Life is good again.

A good high school friend retired at the end of March and he organized a retirement party in Jamaica. So 14 of us went to Jamaica for a week from Saturday April 13 thru Saturday April 20. It was a great time and we get to do it all over again next year. They overbooked the Riu Ocho Rios resort where we were staying and moved us to the Riu Montego Bay. They gave us a free weeks stay all inclusive minus the air fair. Not bad for a minor inconvenience.

Anyway life is good again. I will be in Rochester in July for a short vacation. I hope to see many of you at that time.
