I slept til 4:30 this morning which is good progress. I'm hoping that if I can hang on until about 9 pm before I crash that maybe I'll have a chance of 8 hours sleep. That would be sweet.
For todays health lesson I give you this excellent article on HPV related oral cancers, which is probably what I had. At the time they couldn't positively differentiate but I believe they can now. The good news is that the survival rate for victims of this type of cancer is considerably higher than for those suffering from tobacco related oropharyngeal cancers. The bad news according to my doctor, is that if they had known what they know now, even 4 years ago, that most likely they could have been more conservative with my treatment. That of course would mean a whole lot less treatment related complications. Oh well. It is what it is, and as people are fond of saying, "it's better than the alternative".
No workout today.

Great quote! I will do my part this afternoon! As far as your last paragraph, I remember being kind of irritated by everyone telling me how lucky I was that I would make a full recovery from my accident. At the time I did not feel lucky and was tired of people telling me that.

I'm in for afternoon naps, and I'm glad you both recovered regardless of how crappy the journey must have been. I can't imagine what growing up would have been like without brothers! (or sisters of course)
