Azalea bonsai, at my doctor’s office, originally uploaded by niehoff.

 

Update: Today I visited my oncologist due to increasing dizziness, wobbliness, etc. This is all due to the onset of the vitamin B12 deficiency I was/am due to develop because of me missing parts of my stomach.

Got the shot, extra fluids, etc. and just got home. Am doing fine. But I just wanted to share the above picture with y’all. This is an azalea bonsai, currently owned/cared for by my oncologist, who is also president of the local bonsai society. He says it’s about 70-80 years old. I don’t know about you all, but I take it as a definite benefit to have these aged, miniature flowering shrubberies (there was another, smaller, one in the treatment area) surrounding one.

  1. Nice flowers, and such painstaking work.

    Hope your B12 shot improves things for you. I was also surprised that a specific part of the stomach processes B12.

    Thinking of you.

  3. Do you know if there is a part that specifcally processes desserts? I seem to an overdeloped one of those.

  5. Wow. I have never seen an azalea bonzai – that is beautiful. How big was it? It’s hard to tell from the picture. Glad the shot and fluids helped.

  6. The azalea was about two feet all told. One of the main branches swooped below the level of the root in the pot.

    I saw the same lovely sight last year when he head brought the azaleas.

    Here’s to me being around for the azaleas’ centenary.

  7. Beautiful picture of the azalea bonsai!

    Hope you’re feeling better. I get dizzy also and heard somewhere about a B vitamin helping but couldn’t remember which one. I’ll get me some B12.
    Thanks,
    Max
