Man, I really wish Twitter had a 'Go Fuck Yourself' button.

Eldest daughter again. Mrs. Dog (my mom) says it means a lot to see how many loving responses my dad has received. He was very loved. She asked me to share the obituary with you all.

Hello all. This is Surfacedog’s eldest daughter. Unfortunately, my dad passed away last night due to complications from Stage 4 cancer. He always bragged about how popular he was on Twitter and seeing your support for his recovery is heartwarming.

Update no. Eleventy:
- they believe they have a handle on my vital renal failure.
-I was discharged immediately into an in-patient rehab facility to begin intense PT/0T in order to prep me for home 7-10 days from now.
The three young men in my family have already...

Converted the main dining room into an in-home rehab space.
Immunotherapy seems to be working.
I can crap in a toilet now!
For now, my only job is to get stronger.

I'll probably watch the newest Mission Impossible movie, but every time I see the title, I die a little inside.
IT'S DED RECKONING, YOU CRETINS!

Confession time:
Today I sat down to a 20 oz ribeye...and only managed to eat half.

Thanks to all my recent health issues, my wife and I decided to just stay in and relax.
My youngest, who had busy plans for the day, stopped by with a Five Guy's burger "just so you could have SOMETHING to enjoy."
Guess who just went up a notch in our will...

Quick update: peeing continues, excess water dropping (>25 lbs shed). Pot belly but a distant memory.
Biopsy sched for Monday.
Pneumonia almost completely gone.
Had to cut back on pineapple consumption because my poop burns. A lot.

Quick update: got released out of stir today. Still have some effects from the pneumonia, but draining/peeing nearly 20 pounds of 'fluid' from my abdomen has helped immensely.
Taking blood thinners for the embolism.
Now to tackle the cancer...

Well, my COVID man cold took a nasty turn...
After treating it for a week, I knew something was seriously wrong, so I went to the ER.
- It's pneumonia.
- With a clot on my lung.
- And a cancerous growth on my rib.
- And an unrelated liver issue.
Still in the hospital.

On the plus side:
- I wouldn't have found out about the other stuff if I hadn't gone to the ER.
- The specialists are pretty awesome.
- COVID ain't lookin' so bad anymore.
I've had cancer, two strokes, malaria, and amoebic dysentery. At this rate I'll become unkillable. 😁

Also on the plus side: all the prayers and well-wishes are massively appreciated. A simple thanks seems inadequate.
But thanks.

Welp, got the Rona. Feels like a bad flu. Apparently, they're just treating the symptoms now, so I got me an inhaler, some steroids, cough suppressant, and antibiotics.

Man cold update: still testing positive, but I'm breathing better. Fever's finally gone, but I still have bouts of dizziness, and the ol' brain-pan isn't up to tweeting much. Mrs. Dog hired someone to do the yardwork, thank little Baby Moses.

So we finished our first day at Gettysburg today. My thoughts:
The Visitor's Center, with the movie, cyclorama, and museum, was outstanding.
I've read everything I could about the battle for years; hell, I could easily write a timeliness complete with maps. However,

Nothing can compare to actually BEING there at the battlefield. I bought a $10 Self-guided auto tour that went in chronological order, and we only made it through day 2 (day 3 is tomorrow).
Of all the famous (and infamous) sites, two that really "brought it home for me" 2/3

We're Devil's Den and Culp's Hill. They have to be seen to understand what that battle was like - trapped like rats (Devil's Den) or fighting while trying to climb up a steep, boulder-strewn slope (Culp's Hill).
I'm still trying to absorb what I saw today.
