Monday, May 5: Colonoscopy. Eating w/ Pat

Well, this morning I finished off taking my bowel movements, etc. doing my thing and then I slept pretty comfortably considering. I then took a lift to 

Penn Presbyterian for my 130 appointment. I got in early listen to an old Phillies game from 1991. Then at 1:57 they brought me back to the-room to get undressed and shit. Pat’s going to 

pick me up signing out. Anyhow, the nurse who gave me the needle for the catheter did a nice job. He was 71 years old and 


still working full-time at Penn and Temple on the weekend. That was kind of stunning. He’s really cool dude. Anyhow, everything else went as planned

 to day Stuff in my blood and I was out like a light and it didn’t take an hour. It took about 40 minutes for them to take out the big 


big polyp which was 10 mm and they found another one near my rectum anyway enough of that detail and then got picked up by Pat. It was pouring rain when I first 

got out we went back and order a cup of beach and that was pretty tasty then after that, I just sat around and watch YouTube videos
 of Phillies games, etc. I’m feeling a little 
out of it. That’s the day we’re gonna have rain off 

and on the rest of the week tomorrow I believe I have a Reiki treatment

 with Linda at 10, but I have to check that out. 

Sunday, May 4: Esak’s 84 Asanas, Mom, Prep

This morning we got up at 8:30 AM. Mary had a little breakfast. I didn’t have any breakfast because I have my prep for my colonoscopy starting today 

at 4:00 PM. Actually it starts today because I’m not supposed to eat anything and just drink clear liquids all day long. Period anyway Mary and I went 

to Esak Garcia‘s 84 Austin in his class which went from 10 to 12 PM that was really intense. We went really fast through a bunch of postures and instruction. By 

the time we finished, we were pretty damn exhausted. Went back to Mary’s and then I probably called an Uber back to Millbourne where I picked up a 

package for Pat and changed into a shirt since the other shirt kind of smelled. I then walked to 69th St. terminal to catch the 111 bus 

which was 10 minutes late. I arrived here around 2:40 and I got to mom’s around 2:50 PM. I got to my mom‘s and she’s in good spirits, She was a little bit too

 tired to get up and walk to our favorite little room in there. So we talked for a little bit. She liked David’s revolving pictures. She was tired and so was I Called

 Lyft and they had a bunch of canceled two cancellations before someonepicked me up and I should get at Mary somewhere between 415 and 4:30 PM. I’m really gonna be bushwhacked. Well, I got the Mary and I was pretty tired. I took the Dulcolax pills and then mix the Gatorade in the MiraLAX together. I did my five to 6 o’clock drinking. We did watch a movie called absolute power with Clint Eastwood.

Monday, April 28: Prep Week Begins

Hello there. After having a little bit of difficulty settling into sleep, I slept pretty still last night. Got up and I knew I was gonna be late, 
but I just grew to accept it. It was pretty

 cold last night. So I warm wear a jacketand a long sleeve shirt. I did do Mike’s laundry but that’s about all I did today. it’s now 1:55 PM and it is warm again. So I’m somewhat



 overdressed. I have a long sleeve shirt and a jacket. I’m outside now because I’m visiting Mary to hang out and pick up my yoga clothes for today. I’m totally 

overdressed so I might even leave my long sleeve shirt over your place and then just wear my T-shirt and jacket because both of them will be way too 

hot before class and after class. Oh, while I was at Mary’s, I got my 

yoga clothes. Got some quarters from Mike and took a little rest

 and that was very nice. I got back to Mike’s in the nice sunny weather 

picked up my coat. Talk to my sister and charge my phone. Next thing

 you know and it was time to leave and I didn’t leave Mike’s till 3:42 PM so 

I’m really gonna be hustling to make it on time. Well, I made
 it to Tina‘s class in time and it was really a good class. I like the way she teaches her classes. Tonight
we had some some stuffed peppers and they
were very very good. I recommend it to all my Kin but I’m not part of the Greg Kin band.  Anyhow, later in the evening, I bought three round-trip three days round-trip tickets to New York and back for mid June For Mike Carnegie Hall concert spent about $155 which is basically equivalent to one overnight. Stay at the cheapest hotel in New York.

Monday, March 24: Test Results and SSA

This morning I got up around 7:35 AM. I went to my Amazon delivery and everything was there as far as I know except they did throw 


in some gummy bears in for some weird reason. That took a while to sore throat and then I put put it all in 

a bag for food supply at Mike’s. Once I got the Mike’s Physical therapist, came over and had a pretty thorough appointment. He told Mike he has to walk around his apartment

 at least 3️⃣ times a day on his walker. He told Mike the correct way to breathe etc.. I got my colon test results. Sam there was something very scary indicated 

on there. It said “indications: high risk colon cancer.“ So I emailed 

the attending doctor about what that fucking meant.My next errand is to go to the 

Social Security office. It’s now 10:26 AM. We’ll see how long 

that takes. That appointment didn’t take long because the asshole guard big fat 

asshole not even let you walk in the office to wait, which is 

actually absurd so now I gotta wait 110 minutes for them to call me back so I 

can schedule an appointment! Well they did call back my They did call

 at 1:41 pm BUT my phone was set to “silence unlisted numbers.” YIKES!! 

I changed the settings 😒. I am hold now! well, I was on hold for two hours and then I had to go to yoga class and I couldn’t videotape anything because you can’t do video while your phone‘s on hold. I went

 to class and oh my God it was still raining just miserable drizzly rain from hell. If the wait times over 120 minutes they 
just say goodbye so it looks like this is gonna be 

a complete mental and physical challenge just to get a hold of somebody at this stupid  SSA office. Anyhow, I just limped through the day mentally and I didn’t do any video because you can’t video 
and talk on the phone. I managed to make the 4 o’clock class with Byron and you know I get it but I want all mentally there that’s
 for sure I put another sticker

 on and Class ended and then I got a smoothie for myself and Mary & when I got to Mary’s all I wanted to do was sleep. I blew off my meeting because it was
 already 6:54 PM and I just was too damn tired so I took a nice 45 minute

 nap which really Helped out and had some samosas which were very 

tasty. It’s now 9:30 PM. Murray just went down to put the laundry in and I’m just mailing 

out here. It feels good to do that.
