Health Update

By Joe

I just got off the phone with my doctor with the CT scan results. This is what I have:

This is what happened:

It will go away on its own in a few weeks. No surgery will be needed.

About Joe

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe

I’m so glad that you finally found out what was going on and that it will eventually go away. Cheers.
