Hi all, Marcia here with an eyewitness report on all things Olson.
I saw Gary today and you know, he looks darn good. I’ve seen people look worse after a particularly difficult Western Civ final and a bit too much Annie Green Springs. The guy deserves a medal. He was telling me how he has been “training” for this (meaning the chemo, surgery, and another round of chemo). I loved the term “training”. He’s diligently doing everything he’s been told to (and a whole lot more) in order to beat this thing. We would have talked longer, but he was headed out for a walk.
Speaking of medals, Anne deserves one too. She is excelling as Mad Scientist’s assistant. If you ever want someone to meticulously add the perfect amount of insulin and vitamins to your nutrition cocktail, she’s the one for you.
Thanks for being the observant outsider! Glad to hear that he’s looking good and not at all surprised at Anne’s contribution!
Great news. We check in every day, y’know! Yes, Gary has done a stellar job of training for this event, and Anne deserves a medal, too. This is the acid test of “in sickness and in health,” and you’ve both passed the test with flying colors! It does pay off to follow the instructions, and it does take two to tango! — from the Wisconsin cheering section —
Thank you for all the updates regarding cousin Gary. I’ve given this link to a friend of mine who is going through a very bad time with prostrate cancer. Unfortunately he is in stage 4 and knows he is on borrowed time. Thanks to the VA & OHSU.
Keep up the good work Gary,
Bob III
