Paul how have you been feeling? Your looking good are may I say you have color back in your face and look so much better at each video. So many of prayed for you from all over the world. Seems God heard our cries.

[@kristinwood2252]

Dearest Paul, After my father passed away, I went through all of his books that he read. He was s voracious reader. Each book had little pieces of paper such as Post-It notes with lists of characters and their purpose throughout the book. To me, the pieces of handwritten notes are like gold treasure coins! I will always hold onto them tightly! You look great and I have followed you throughout your journey! I love your book reviews and will read each book. Take care Paul. Please let us know how Ted is doing too!❤

[@PaulinPerth]

Hi Kristin, that is such a lovely and heart-warming message. Your father is onto it. I try to do it in my head, and I can only do 3-4 characters in detail. After that I start to get fuzzy. Good point. I'll have a word with Ted's manager (Caroline) and see if he can get some airtime. Great to hear from you. Paul.

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

I love that! What a gift from your father! I have story you might be able to relate. My grandmother lived to be 102 and she always left little notes everywhere around her house on whatever she had on her mind. Five years after she passed, the night before my mom was going in to have a cancerous kidney removed, For whatever reason I was looking through some old repair book that was my grandmother's. In it was a note she wrote, "Don't waste your time worrying about the past or the future because you can't change either of them. Just live in the day you have, because that's where it makes the difference. Trust that whatever comes later will be for the best." I gave the note to my mother before she went into the hospital and told I had a message for her from her mother. As my grandmother predicted, everything turned out for the best. The surgery went extremely well and mom recovered. All the best to you! From Vermont USA ❤️

You are looking good. I realize you have some changes and challenges with your life but you are awesomely handling with grace. Sending positive energy and thoughts. Keep on keeping on!!!

[@BettinaHaubert]

I love this book ❤ As I read it in german I of cource missed the references to the german language 😊 Here we go: *Ersatz* means substitute/replacement (I had no idea that this word exists in english) *Doppelgänger* ‚Doppel‘ means ‚double‘ and ‚Gänger‘ means ‚walker‘ which says that a person walks around that exactly looks like another person 😉 *Zweisamkeit* ‚Zwei‘ means ‚two‘ Zweisamkeit means two people spending time together. Btw ‚Einsamkeit’ means lonliness (eins = one) Thanks so much for the great review. Take care Bettina/Cologne/Germany

[@PaulinPerth]

Hi Bettina, one thing you might find interesting is that ersatz has a slightly different meaning in English. It translates as a substitute of lower quality. For example, a coffee substitute that tastes like crap would be called an ersatz coffee. In my opinion, Pepsi is an ersatz Coca Cola. IE: it is a substitute of lower quality. Paul.

[@BettinaHaubert]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@PaulinPerth Thank‘s for pointing this out to me; so I agree that Pepsi is an ersatz Coca Cola😉. A while ago I was in a similar situation to yours. I fell into major depression because of my cancer prognosis and because of my stoma bag. I feel for you 🥰 Believe me, you will get used to the stoma bag. And please, please do videos about the subjects you like and not about the topics the viewers might like. Don‘t care about the viewer states…

[@lindabarrowclough1684]

Hi Paul, good to see you looking good. I’ve often written a list reminding myself who the different characters are in a book when there’s too many to remember🙈🤷‍♀️

[@PaulinPerth]

Great tip!

[@susieboard3230]

Looking very good there Paul👍💗😀

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

So good to see you back to your normal happy self! You are looking and sounding just wonderful! I love to read too, but my eyesight is not great. I fully understand the frustration of meeting too many characters at once! I love all types of books, but historical fiction based on a real event, Amish novels (my grandmother's heritage) are my favorites. Then anything on genetics DNA, midwifery, and some science fiction especially from Stephen King, is a nice change. A wide range, I know. When I'm reading I have a bad habit. If I own the book and find mistakes in spelling or incongruences in the storyline (happens often in a series) I underline it in light pencil with the correction above. Yet I make tons of mistakes in my own writing! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@PaulinPerth]

Hi Karen, People are funny. It's good that you can see the paradox in your actions. I'm trying to get back to normal. It isn't easy. Paul.

[@karenfitzpatrick6256]

@@PaulinPerth To be fair, I "edit" myself crazy even leaving comments here on KZbin. And I still make mistakes. Oh well...Lol The only reason I do it in my own-only books is not in criticism of the author, but because it stops the flow in the read. And that is so annoying. You are right, recovery from such a drastic surgery isn't easy at all. I hope no one ever told you it would be. But it's worth it. After surgery for something as dire as cancer, it's a rollercoaster of ups and downs physically and emotionally. It looks like for you, the worst is well done and over. You're strong, fit and still young, you were so fortunate to have the right treatment available and an amazing support person as caregiver. I'll keep you in my prayers and be thankful you have beaten back that horrific disease. Here's to complete recovery and many many happy and interesting years ahead! Love ❤️ from Vermont USA

[@absurdiya]

I just got this book! You just reminded me about it haha. I have been following your journey for a while now. It’s been incredible, and you’ve come a long way. Hope you’re feeling a lot better. Best wishes from India.

Wow Paul! You are looking and sounding stronger with each video. I know your journey has been rough and you still have issues to face but man, you are slaying the dragons from my POV. Love seeing you whenever you pop up. Thanks for the book review. Karen - trying to thaw out in Kansas 🥶

Paul, you look great! I'm so proud of you! God bless you!!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@LMTino]

I think the friend that gifted this book to you knows your interests well! I see your eyes have their twinkle back - so I took this book review as a way for us to "see" that without your having to explain it. As good acting scene coaches prompt, "don't just tell me, show me." Good to see you back again pursuing interests, living your life!

[@PaulinPerth]

True enough. From my point of view, I don't really want to make a video every third day or so just talking about my recovery. Often there is nothing to say, or it is relatively boring - like the fact that I am walking a bit further than the day before. I need there to be some substance in my content. Mind you, the viewer stats of my book reviews are way lower than my cancer updates. Everyone loves a cancer story evidently. And that's fine, but I don't want my life to be only talking about cancer.....

[@iSheree]

@@PaulinPerththat’s a shame. I watch every video of yours. Those of us that really care about YOU and not just your cancer story will watch every video. You do what you want to do. It is your channel. ❤

Love your new "book reviews" sub-heading. It's nice to see you interested in reading now that you're recovering. Little did any of us imagine last Fall that we'd be sitting here watching you doing a book review after going through your grueling medical journey to rid yourself of cancer. It's such a joy to see and hear you after all you've been through. Love and best wishes to you and Caroline. ❤ Thelma (USA)

[@PaulinPerth]

Thanks Thelma. I don't want to just do cancer updates. It gets tiresome and depressing if all I do is talk about cancer. But the viewer stats are hard to ignore. The viewing public are much more interested in my cancer updates. Thanks for following me. I think you comment on just about every post, which is nice. Paul (Perth, Australia).

[@thelmab.1516]

I look forward to the day that you won't ever have to talk about cancer again. I wish you many, many more years of good health and much happiness. I know there is so much more we can all learn from you...

[@marjilaplante9579]

Ohhhhh you're looking so strong and I'm so thankful for you🙏

[@margaretohara7250]

Paul, you look great so I urge you to take it day by day and not worry about the years left. You are a walking miracle. Did you still get the fluid in your stomach. Feel you can write a book and perhaps your medical people could get involved. This is so educational for others. Maybe you can have a tutoring job from home. You could do something in the medical field as you are an educator. So many things you can do. Blessings galore.

Hi Cribmum, in reality I am going through a depression. I'm not loving the colostomy bag, nor the prospect of dying soon. I suppose I should disclose that in a cancer update. I just hate talking about depression, so I haven't done it. Paul.

[@cribmum31]

@@PaulinPerth God Bless you Paul… I totally understand which is why I was so concerned,, only those who have suffered depression know how awful it is… I recognized it in a couple of videos and it is something that your condition also lends too… try and connect with others who understand,, when we have physical Limitations and conditions it only deepens our grief… you don’t have to dwell on it,, but you don’t have to hide it either,..

Great book review. I read that last book right away and it was great. You can explain everything and anything so well. I know you feel different and maybe even new but you look great and still have all your marbles. You said 80s and 90s and what? Mounties? Is that a word for the early 2000s. We played the Oregon Trail game a lot here because we live in Oregon.

In Australia we say 80s, 90s and naughties. As in the word 'naught', meaning zero. See www.dictionary.com/browse/naught

[@PaulinPerth]

Fair call. It's not for everyone. That's exactly why reviews are helpful. They are just as useful for what you don't want, as what you do.

[@oneseeker2]

Same w/me Paul, too many characters I won't buy the book, or I put it away, forever. I read Dr Oliver Sacks, Joan Didion, Truman Capota(not in Cold Blood), I prefer NonFiction, still there are some writers I enjoy their flash fiction. Great seeing you Paul!

So the title of the book is from Shakespeares Mcbeth, One of the best known quotes about how short our lives are and the meaning of our death. Did the book touch on this subject? or is it just a coincidence .

[@PaulinPerth]

Oh! I didn't know that was a reference to Shakespeare. Thanks for that. The book didn't touch on that connection. It did, however, touch on the fact that with computer games, you can die, and just go back to the start and start again and again and again. Paul.

Hi Paul, you’re looking good and I’m very happy about that. God above did hear our prayers. Are used to read like a book a day back when I was at my prime reading joy ~ but now it seems like my family are the characters in a book that I am living in~ and one of the characters is, my son, who is a video game programmer as a hobby. The last time he talked to me about it, he was creating a game that helps. People create universes, and all the planets they want in all the civilizations and all the everything from a universal standpoint, probably to be their own God, but I’m hoping my son would just return to the only real God there is.

Paul, please tell everyone how you really feel. Based on what I see in the comments, I am sure everyone is curious and would love to know how you feel. As a chronic illness sufferer nearly my whole life (I have cancer now too), I have to say looks can be deceiving. A lot of people here think you look and feel great. If you can be honest and educate us on how you really feel, it can help those people understand. ❤😊

[@PaulinPerth]

Well, if you are sensing a brave face covering up for a major depression, then you've read it right. And your message suggests that you suspected that. I haven't been covering that territory because it is painful to admit. Plus I can already see my depression infecting Caroline. And to admit it on YT would only make it worse.

[@michaeloffman8694]

@@PaulinPerth Dammit! I (many of us old timers, I'm sure) could sense this... while so glad to see that beloved smile...it hasn't yet reached the eyes...as they say. This surgery was a real MF...seems like depression is something you've dealt with before and I trust you are again engaged in the battle. It makes it so much harder to mount the energy for the fight. So sorry, but please keep trying to kick ass. About the content of this channel, doesn't have to ALWAYS be about cancer in my opinion. I, for one LOVE the book reviews. Also really liked learning about W. AUSTRALIAN flora and fauna...so interesting. Oh and really enjoyed the "boys will be boys" air bags go bang" series! Sorry about tension with Caro. If past history is our teacher, pray it gets sorted out. Love you so. (Ann)

For those of us who have hung on every word he has shared since DAY 1, I'm very eager for some in depth information on how he feels...how is he adjusting to his stoma? Would he do it again if he had known the physical toll it would take? Now that it's over with, and he has Caroline with him, is the pressure to keep us updated become an unwelcome burden? I'm certain I speak for many who came to love you and now miss you. (Love Ann)
