After seeing the doctor on monday, we decided to continue ahead with the plan I discussed in my last blog and cut off the final drug I was on to control the ulcerative colitis.  It’s been years since a major episode, but going medication free is still a risk.  I’m obviously hoping to not fall [...]

November was pretty damn good to me.  A lot of aspects of life are “progressing nicely” at the moment – I’ve got a rekindled desire to play online MTTs again, I’ve been successful at cash games, my coaching group is plugging along nicely, I’ve spent a ton of time working on my own game, and [...]
