What a cutie!

That's great! Did you end up sending it to a Seiko owned center, or one of the Seiko certifieds?

I would wear one of them. I'm not sure I'd buy one, though, if that makes sense.

I'm sure that's what would happen! My doctor, while an excellent doctor, is not an excellent communicator.

This is my “Big C” watch.

Wearing the Santos, today. I love this watch so much that I wonder why I have other watches. Of course, this is my sentiment whenever I put on most of the others... There is something about the Santos, though. I also doubt whether I should have gotten the large. I bet I'd be doubting getting the medium, if I had gone that way, too.

I found out today that I'm "probably cured" of cancer. That's not as good as "cured," but much better than "probably not cured." There is a possibility that I'll need a course of radiation in 6 months, but my doctor thought it unlikely. So, all in all, good news! When do I get my ribbon?

I can get one.

I would take a pic of my blacked out GShock, which I picked up today, but it's so monochrome that my phone won't focus on it. I really rather like it. When I really got into watches, ten years ago, I never thought I'd ever own a digital again, but I really like this and the cheapo Casio World Time I have. This GShock is an objectively terrible watch (it being blacked out makes it hard to read, and hard to use), but it certainly has a presence! I might get one of these, in a little while. I was never allowed to have a GShock (I was bought many other Casio watches, but never the GShock nor the calculator, for who knows what reasons) as a kid, so this is a bit of wish fulfillment for me. I'm also now into selvedge denim, so I guess that the logical third thing is to get into sneakers. I wear suits at work, so that's a fairly nice contrast, and the 90s fashion that is so in now works for me very, very well (other than suits: 90s suits were gross).

Well, my incision seems to be infected, but I'm finally starting to lose the steroid + IV weight. Opiates not helping with bone pain and then opiates not helping much with vasectomy pain is what diagnosed it. I was on opiates for months, with my leg. I'm not taking any more for my neck, now, and I have about a month's supply left. That is what I think creates addiction, here in the USA.

I had some rather bad pain this morning that Tylenol didn’t help much with. Unfortunately I’m opiate resistant, so they don’t help that much either, but a little bit (I just took half a Vicodin at 8, and Tylenol mid-afternoon).

Just pain and fatigue. I've taken a little bit of Hydrocodone, but I don't think I'll need to after today. I hate the stuff.

Apparently!

They used dermabond. That's good to hear, thank you KG.

Thanks guys!

I bought a Swatch. I think it's a great design, and that green is wonderful.

"I was partially decapitated and all I got was this lousy t-shirt." I should have the pathology report in a couple days, which I'm interested in seeing.

Got a cool new scar.

I take it that you don’t know where the thyroid gland is located.

Happy birthday, Matt. I'll be making nog again, just for you (and me).

I had a long beard, but it was suggested that I shave before my Thursday surgery. This is what I came up with.

Just a little gallows humor on my part. I’m scared but not worried: I’ll be fine, and my stepson will be killed by memes when he’s 13. I now know to be ready!

I have cancer; maybe I won’t have to worry about it.

I’m glad my stepson is 5. The worst we get is misapplication of “orange you glad I didn’t say banana?”

Get what my mother just bought for herself: fluted bezel on oyster bracelet (she bought 36mm). She went with a black dial with roman numerals, which isn't to my taste, but the fluted bezel and the oyster bracelet looks great. I would otherwise have said fluted and jubilee (since the engine turned bezel isn't offered anymore), but the oyster really looks great on it.
