Welcome to my Blog

I chose the title of this blog to go with a Beatles song from 1969. The title made sense in October of 2009 because fighting cancer might be a drawn out challenge. I take inspiration where I can, and hope to motivate with my musings about music, my status and anything else related to life. Anyone can post comments; no sign in or account is needed, just click on the comments section towards the bottom of the post and write me a note. A splendid time is guaranteed for all. Live Happy- Greg

Sun King

I wanted to be the Sun King on my first full day of work free status today. The Seattle area is experiencing 78 today and 79 tomorrow with full sun, not a cloud to be seen. I worked my last day yesterday, turned in all of my gear, car, etc. and thought I was free and clear. A little Deja Vu hit us this morning, and sure enough I had a fever that continued to climb and felt pretty crummy. So off to the St. Joseph's Hospital E.R. at the request of my doctor. We got here at about 10AM and later admitted to the cancer floor, where Yvonne and I sit in another Deja Vu situation in room 10A1 (the first room I occupied when I was first diagnosed in October 2009.)
I have had some blood tests, x rays, and now am waiting for an MRI for a strange pain in my left leg. Tylenol took my fever down to a low manageable level pretty quick. The doctor wants to see what is causing these fevers and fatigue so I will stay overnight at least. John was the primary force behind Sun King, Paul George and John sang the three part harmonies. The Italian and Spanish words were thrown in for reasons only known to John. Part of the medley of side 2 of Abbey Road, Sun King is haunting even if it doesn't mean a whole lot. Please enjoy- like I am from my sunny room! My phone number is (253) 426-4101 room10A1
