What inspires you?

I called my former kumu, Maile, and asked her if I could join her hula halau and she said yes! I started in her halau when she still had a dance studio. My old class still meets every Thursday nights at her home. I can't wait to see everyone. I've put off a lot of things during the past year, having no motivation to do anything. I decided that if my one year CT scan was clear then I would pick up where I left off. I have this list of things to do in life. Hula is on that list. I haven't danced in over a year and I miss it terribly. I am so excited!

Thank you to www.norahjones.info for posting my raffle on their site! Check out their amazing site (no, I am not biased) on the latest information on the soulful Miss Norah Jones. Her music and voice inspire me.

Test Results

Day two in Minnesota: Met with my wonderful oncologist and discussed results. All good news. Future CT scans will now include pre-medication the night prior and day of the scan. Seems I've developed a new allergy to iodine/contrast. Instead of every three months, CT scans are now to be done every 6 months or sooner depending on how I feel.

Return to Mayo

Flew to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN, for routine blood work, CT, and oncology consult. Back at home, I visit the doctor every three months. I flew to Rochester to get reassurance that everything is okay from the same medical team that performed my liver resection a year ago. I finished the tests early so my sister and I drove about 2 hours to the Effigy Mounds Park in Iowa. We drove alongside an Amish woman riding her horse and carriage. The sun setting behind the prairies along Laura Ingalls Wilder highway provided us with an amazing drive back to Minnesota. Thanks to my sister who took time off from work to be by my side in Minnesota.

Peace to you Kenneth
