Happy Birthday, Sam Scribble

Happy Birthday! (belated?)

Birthdays. Before you're born, you're unborn. Before you're dead, you're undead. Before, during, and after a birthday, you celebrate. Fuck time. Just do it. Happy happy joy joy.

Happy Birthday! (belated?)

Thank you, Ogg. It's a birthday that I never expected to have so ... belated is fine.

Thank you, Ruben. As Orville said to Wilbur: 'I flyin', Brother.' Or was it the other way around?

Thank you for the happiness and joy, Hypoxia. One added bit of happiness, I have just realised that it is now ten years since a grumpy old bastard in a white coat told me that I was unlikely to survive until the end of the next year. Perhaps he meant a different next year.

Thank you, Di.

I feel a little like a good wine that is having an off year. Hopefully I will make a good casserole. Fingers crossed. <HUG>

Happy Birthday. Didn’t realize your birthday was the same day as mineKant

That depends on the erotic qualities of daisies.

Thank you, Kant. And many happy returns in return. Hope you had a great day.

They just go by the mortality tables, Sam, and don't consider variations within the cohort followed. My diagnosis' table indicated that by the end of 5 years after initial diagnosis half the cohort died. After 15 years mortality was 99%. I was diagnosed 18 years ago; I could be livelier, I'm sure, but I am, in fact, still alive. Keep on defying the odds, Sam!
