notes about the August 10th podcast

During the recording of the podcast, I did not fully understand what Robert was trying to describe to me...after recording the podcast, I found what he was talking about: it's "angiokeratoma". From what I've read about it, excision and grafting may be necessary to remove the lesion(s)...recovery time can range from three to twelve weeks.

Robert also has fibrous papule's of the nose and Poikiloderma of Civatte.
Thank God he does not need a ball grafting....Yet.

Don't play around with skin issues.

===================================

I like safety razors...

mainly because I don't shave very often, and need to use an "industrial strength" razor. (I know I really should learn to use a straight razor...)

notes about the June 29th podcast

At 52 minutes into the podcast, I describe my bad experience with the television show "The Locator" that's on WEtv (Women's Entertainment).

Based on my experience, I strongly suggest no one participate with this program:  after the show was interested in reuniting me with my father, I was told by the private investigative agency that was being used (the "Investigation Consultant") that I needed to pay a fee of hundreds of dollars for them to proceed with the process.  When I initially agreed to participate in "The Locator", there was no mention of any fees at all...

===============================

Program: FRONTLINE
Episode: The Suicide Tourist

Five months after being diagnosed with ALS, Craig Ewert arrived in Switzerland for his scheduled suicide. A story about struggling to live ... and deciding when to die.

"...The Suicide Tourist is a portrait of Ewert's final days as the Chicago native pursues a physician-assisted suicide in the one place where it's legal for foreigners to come to end their lives: Switzerland. With unique access to Dignitas, the Swiss nonprofit that has helped more than 1,000 people die since 1998, The Suicide Tourist follows Ewert as he debates the morality -- and confronts the reality -- of choosing to die before his disease further ravages his body, and he loses the option to die without unbearable suffering."
