About Me
- Name: Bone-a-fide
- Location: Denver, Colorado, United States
In May of 2005 I was diagnosed with a chondrosarcoma of the left femur. I saw six of the top doctors in the field in six months and not one agreed with another on what I should do. It was up to me to decide. Instead of deciding I wrote a one woman show about it called Bone-a-fide: A Tumorous Comedy. That helped. On December 15, 2005, Dr. Healey at MSKCC performed a resect/reimplant with cryosurgery. I've been healing well since then. (Though, I still wish I had gone with the bionic leg option.)

Uh oh. There is NOTHING puffier than your knee??? Not even a man with fifty marshmallows in his mouth?
Mmmm...are you headed to Dr. Healey? I hope this gets worked out quick! If you'd like to get into the group without posting your story, let me know.
Hang in there. Tell your leg to hang tight. Cari named her leg George. Have you named it yet??? :P

Brilliant poem! (Though I wouldn't want anyone to think this is an anti-Dutch site! The Dutch are very nice...most of the ones I've met are tall, which is a lovely trait.)
I especially like the last stanza (I have the power!). And the second stanza gives me an idea for a future entry. Cool. Thanks!
Now, see, the first time I saw this post, there were no pictures there! It just said, "Things puffier than my knee:" and it was blank.
I was scared for you, that you couldn't find ONE thing puffier than your knee! I was up all night frantic (well not really, I was up all night because I tend to be up all night)!
Do that to me again, and the bunny dies.
Oh no! That's terrible! I wondered what your comment meant, but thought I was misunderstanding or that you had misread the title of the post. Now I understand, and I agree--that would have been be a dreary post indeed. Next time I'll clarify (because I don't want the bunny to die!).
What about puffy paint?
