This is my blog about my medical journey through Lymphoma. I was diagnosed April 11, 2006. Currently, I am in remission with a high chance of cure. It was non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, specifically Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The tumors ended up being in my hip, my sternum and my backbone. I have left the blog up for anyone to read, and I also use it to remember all I went through. Because of all the drugs and stress, some of it is foggy, so it is fun to go back and see what I went through!

Bear on a Tricycle: The Primordial Image


After posting my blog yesterday, I decided to look real quick on the internet to see if there were any pictures out there of what was in my head. The first image I found was absolutely perfect. I am reading Jung now and he says that humans inherit "primordial images" and that they show up in myths and stories. He says the images cross cultural boundaries because they are deep in the collective unconcious. Well, I found multiple pictures of bears riding tricycles, including some real bears riding scooters. Maybe my bear on a tricycle is a primordial image. I have never seen a bear on a tricycle that I know of, so I am pretty sure I inherited it from my parents. My image did not include a diaper, but that is clearly an hillarious upgrade.

It's a very flattering likeness of you, Jason, and I think that your hair is growing back in very nicely (although in some odd places...like your stomach...and your ears...hmm....). I think you should consider a career in male modeling.

When you started talking about this bear on a tricycle, I made my own mental picture. I won't claim I invisioned a diaper on the bear, which is hilarious, but I did imagine those once popular but now discusting cutoff blue jean shorts.

I have an exact replica of that photo! It's of me when I was a kid learning how to ride a bike! :)

When I saw the diaper, I thought of you in the ridiculous hospital gowns or extra large paper shorts!
