Notes from Behind the Keyboard - December 22nd, 2014

[caption id="attachment_3577" align="aligncenter" width="630"] Alex at Xmas Hiding[/caption]

.

Welcome back My Dear Shoevians to The Other Shoe. Today is December 22^nd, 2014 and there are just three days left for any ‘Christmas Shopping’. Later today I plan on writing and publishing a ‘A Week in Review’ for last week. I managed to write and publish more than five articles. Including a Gargantuan edition of ‘The Mars Report’.

.

My traffic is up, my comments are positive. I keep writing and publishing, because that is what a writer does. He/She writes. I love to write. I love to share the stories and articles that I write. So much so that, for the past FIVE YEARS, I have done all this for FREE and never charged a single penny. Instead? Instead I have worked on the basis… of… trust. I write and publish and trust that when I am at wit’s end or without the means needed to; get a mobility device, move, for fight cancer that you, My Dear Shoevians, are there and help.

.

This, actually, worked for the first several years. I am still hoping for assistance with ‘Christmas’. However, as of the first part of next year… there just might be a change. A change necessitated by changing trends… in charity. Whereas I understand the adage ‘Times, they are a changing’… I am really caught off guard by the lack of generosity… compassion… empathy… charity.

.

This blog serves many functions to many people all over this great earth. I, merely, ask.. as exchange for the stories… articles.. incredible images from space and Mars… a modicum of support. This has not been forthcoming. Therefore, as of (as soon as I can get it organized) ‘ads’ here at The Other Shoe. I will do my best to keep them to a minimum. I will do my best to keep them at the end of articles… and/or to the ‘Side-Bar’ of the blog.

.

I have not worked out all the kinks… and I must tell you, My Dearest Shoevians, that this is not the course of action I prefer. Having said… I will ask, yet again, for any/all the support that all of you, My Dearest Shoevians, for your kind support for my ‘Christmas’ and my Battle with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. You can give at PayPal – my name is Daniel Hanning and my PayPal email is Enzomatrix@earthlink.net. With that information anybody anywhere in the world can show their support.

.

That is all that I ask of you, My Dearest Shoevians. I will post later this week and tell you of any/all of you, My Dearest Shoevians, that reached out and helped. This is for a Christmas for my family. I simply am without the means to show the people I love the kindness and seasonal care that they genuinely deserve. Being unable to work, with NOTHING selling on eBay… I am a man with greatly limited means!

.

For everyone that has every helped me in any way? THANK YOU! Your kindness and support are instrumental to my survival! To all of you, My Dearest Shoevians, I wish you a very ‘Merry Christmas’!

.

Adieu!

.

Thank you!

Returning to The Other Shoe

[caption id="attachment_3778" align="aligncenter" width="225"] Danny Rolling Hills Estates - November 2014[/caption]

.

                                   Welcome back My Dear Readers to The Other Shoe. It has been three weeks since my last publication. Just like the old saying goes; my mind and heart are willing, but the flesh is weak. Today, well it has been a little over two weeks since my last chemo, I am feeling able to write and publish. My next chemo is a week from Wednesday, December 17^th. That will be my last chemo, this year.

.

My Dear Readers it has been my intention to get back into the swing of publishing on a regular basis. The (harsh) reality is? I will be unable to meet my previous publication schedule while I am in chemo. Once this round of chemo is complete, I am hopeful that I will be able to return to a regular full schedule of publications. That is barring any unforeseen complications post chemo. I have no intention of abandoning this blog, or my writing, anytime soon.

.

The Martian rover, Curiosity, is still working making new discoveries. Therefore, ‘The Mars Report’ will return and continue. I still enjoy discovering and researching “News from Around the World” assuring the continuation of the article series of the same name. I still enjoy PC & console gaming, assuring the continuation of ‘MMORPG’s and YOU!’. Timmy and Archer still live in my heart, and often (still) play in my mind. YES! I hard really hoped to have their first story complete… this year. However, I have continued adding plot lines, character development, and tie-ins for future publications.

.

I can tell you one (SPOILER ALERT!) fact about; Timmy, Archer and Smithville. They (all) will be the setting for a second story… this time set at Christmas! Yes, so you My Dear Readers can see just why I really wanted to finish my first story… so I could start sharing excerpts of the upcoming second book… just in time for Christmas! Not going to tell you, My Dear Readers, anymore than that… don’t want to spoil the end of my current story.

.

This week I hope to write and publish a current edition of ‘The Mars Report’. I have, already, researched Curiosity’s recent endeavors and discoveries and there is a good deal to share and report. As well, I think that (if I am up to it) there will be another edition of ‘News from Around the World’ released later in the week. I have just one appointment, this week, then chemo starts next week.

.

For EVERYONE that keeps dropping by…. EVERYONE that kept visiting and reading? THANK YOU! It is very encouraging to see traffic reports that show… many of you, My Dear Readers, just keep coming and reading and sharing and enjoying The Other Shoe. It is my heartfelt desire to make your visits… worthwhile. To reward all of you, My Dear Readers, for your support and patronage.

.

In closing, I will do my very best to write and publish as much as I am able. Do my very best to publish as often and as regularly as my health and flesh allow. I do miss writing… publishing and seeing the comments and ‘Like’(s) and Shares from all of you, My Dearest Readers. Most of all… I just want to get back to doing that which I can… to continue to contribute… in the only way I have left to me.

.

Adieu!

.

Thank you!

Birthday Wishes and Cancer Experimental Treatments...

[caption id="attachment_3767" align="aligncenter" width="630"] Danny Does Chemo - Day One #1[/caption]

.

Welcome back My Dearest Readers to The Other Shoe. In just three days I will celebrate my 57^th birthday on this planet, named Earth. Today is Monday November 17^th, 2014 and it will be a day that I remember for, well, the rest of my life. For today is the day that I made a decision that will affect the outcome of the rest of my life. Today I have made the decision to do two things; First – I am applying to every Lymphoma and Cancer financial aid web site I can find Second – I am looking for Experimental Treatments for NHL (Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma) that pay for participants.

.

I tried just as hard as I could to raise money… for my family… for the … and I came up wanting… terribly. Yes, I do see a birthday without a single card… a single ‘Well Wisher’… or a single present as, well, a failure. What or Who was it that decided I simply MUST go through;

.

1. 1. Degenerative Disc Disease


2. 2. Spinal Stenosis


3. 3. Left Foot Drop


4. 4. Ruptured Cervical Disc at C7-T1


5. 5. Night seats


6. 6. Focal Motor Weakness


7. 7. Back and Cervical Back Pain


8. 8. Muscle Weakness


9. 9. Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

10. Limited Mobility- Wheelchair/Power Chair Bound

.

And who can forget, Chemotherapy! To go through all these… to suffer pain with each and every waking… and to fight against indomitable odds.. My Dear Readers and to do this ALL while living hand-to-mouth each and every day of every week or every month or every year. Poor. Who made this my fate? Why was I chosen to fight these battles…. Empty handed?

.

Therefore, My Dear Readers, I am applying for any and all ‘Financial Aid’ that I can qualify. Then I am going to apply for research… opportunities. Somewhere there are experimental treatments for NHL taking place. They need people with NHL for them to run experimental treatments.

.

My Dear Readers, I cannot (in good conscience) force my family to live teetering on the edge of poverty any longer. If giving my life to experimental treatments, and make some coin doing it, then that is what I am going to do. I cannot live this way any longer.

.

I will make it my effort to keep writing… and I will try to publish, here, too. I hope to be able to publish twice to several times a week, when I it is possible. I have chemotherapy scheduled for next week. However, if I find a paying experimental treatment? I will STOP chemotherapy, and start the experimental treatment THAT PAYS!

.

Seems my body is all I have to give. Then I will give it up for those I love. For those that I love to have a better life! So, that when a Christmas comes along… They can have a ‘Nice Christmas’. Yeah, and YES it is a ‘Nice Christmas’ to HAVE presents under the tree. It has always amazed me how ‘some people’ will prattle on about how ‘Christmas isn’t about presents under the tree… it is about _____” Yet, they say these words with a tree with LOTS of presents for their families and loved ones.

.

It is SO easy to say “Christmas isn’t about presents” when you have presents under the tree, right? ROFLMFAO My deserves to have a ‘Nice Christmas’ and if I have to let people use my body… to get what I want? Well, it’s not like it is the first time, or anything. Right James?

.

So, My Dear Readers, I have come to this decision and I wanted to tell everyone without having recriminations flying. Where else better than to blog it!

.

OK, for Upcoming Stories here at The Other Shoe I hope to publish a little one about my most recent trip to L.A. to see my primary care doctor, Dr. Gorlick. I have the images. I have the videos. I have good deal of the story written. So, at some point, in the near to distant future, I will publish ‘Trip to L.A. –November 2014 Edition’ right here at The Other Shoe.

.

Well, I have a lot of work ahead of me today… tomorrow.. and on until I find that one experimental Treatment that needs ‘Paid Participants’ then I am golden. As well, I am going to apply for financial assistance through the many foundations and funds that I can find. I seriously doubt that I will have any money in hand before Christmas. However, my success will assure that, at least for my family, this will be that LAST Christmas without cheer.

.

Adieu!

.

Thank you!
