18 June 2007: An infusion in the morning at the Oncologist's office. I brought a paperback to read,
but did not open the book, deferring to the wheels-off fellowship afforded by Steve and Doedy.
Steve "the grip" Toleson was told that he had only weeks, months at the most, to live because of his gbm brain tumor.
He is approaching his one year anniversary and his vice-clamp 600 psi hand shake is a testament to his recovery.
I'd say our first contest was a tie, although Steve might have released me out of compassion, seeing my hand turning white!
Doedy "Cradle Robber" Orchowski brought his daughter Michael to the infusion. They tried to convince me that Michael was in fact Doedy's wife, but I was not born yesterday and am not falling for this one! :) Doedy had surgery to sack his gbm
in January 2007 and is an absolute delight to talk to, in English or in German.
Then of course there is yours truly. Here I am practicing my part for the soon to be filmed movie: The Beached Whale.
I have already signed a lucrative $99.17 contract for the short clip: Water Buffaloes of the 1800s.
