description: The story you are about to read concerns my unexpected illness with colon cancer which turned up other underlying issues.  It begins at my home in Tilton, New Hampshire, my hospitalization at Franklin Regional Hospital, and my thoughts during my convalescence.  You will find a book of poems at the end of this story that I wrote during this time and poems written by my wife Joan, titled In My Footsteps-Poems to Inspire.  These poems inspired me to write this story.
