Spring, not so spring... April 17, 2022

 No picture today.  I got up late and I don't feel like it.  It is 30 degrees outside and my fingers are burning from the cold/chemo.  This is a side effect of my chemo that I have a sensitivity to cold.  It makes my fingers burning numb in the cold, so a cold house leads to no escape from burning finger tips.  

To top things off, I am pretty sure I have a sinus/ear infection, just what I need now.  I suppose I get one every spring so I should have been ready for it.  

Enough bitching, I will probably skip the bike today.  I know the exercise is good for me, but I am really tired.  I didn't sleep well again as I am still moving things out (wink wink) so I am up all night doing that.  Some days, I just want to sleep all day, but that doesn't do me any good.  I got a lot done yesterday, cleaned the counter and the coffee area in the kitchen and I got the backroom cleaned up more so that I can grow a couple plants (yes, those plants).  Got all the cardboard out that was behind me in all the pictures.  I suppose yesterday was a productive day!

I am cutting this short as I need to get around and get food in me to stay on schedule for meds, etc...

Love you all!

Feelings, nothing more than feelings... November 19. 2024

  I really have to get more sweatshirts.  In a couple of days we will be heading back into NYC to get my liver ablated, again.  This is the 3rd time.  3rd times a charm?  I am not sure how I feel.  I spent all day Sunday getting things done outside so I still can burst some energy out, but it leaves me exhausted.  I don't have the energy I had just a few months. I have started another blog, but public - I am not sure why I am driven to do these things.  I have always been an introvert with a need for attention I guess (it's strange, I know). Well, I don't have a lot to say this morning outside of the fact that I am beginning to realize that I spent way too much time in my life thinking about me and it is sad that it has taken me this long to realize that life is about everyone else. I love you all!

She said, she said, "You don't know shit because you've never been there"... March 24, 2024

 It's been a while since I posted (I say that every post now), but I don't seem to have the morning time I used to and I am not certain why (going to work I guess).   I have been plugging along.  Getting back to the shitty routine of work and weekends, with a mix of NJ travel.  It has been since October since I had systematic chemo and I'm on my first of at least two pump breaks.  I just had liver ablations done (6 hour procedure) and they say they got everything they could see, which tells me they have been down this path before (burn out what they can see, but the little ones are still growing).   Either way, this gives me more time, and I hope they got it all.  I have scans on May 1, so I will know somethings then.  It is all just a wait and see game; which I no longer want to play. The family is doing well (I guess).  I feel like I put everyone's life in limbo, because I kind of did.  I am going to try and get my ass in gea...

 Tiffany is amazing!  I know that she doesn't feel well as she has an infection in her kidney due to her stones.  She continues to take care of me regardless.  In the morning, I am generally able to get around without issue (except for the pain in my side), but by afternoon I am generally really tired.  More tired than you should be from just sitting around.  Eating zaps every bit of strength out of me for some reason leaving me extremely lightheaded.  I try to hide how bad I am feeling after eating as I know it upsets her. I have a lot of hope about upcoming treatment.  I expect to start on chemo as everything I read suggests they won't go after the tumors in my liver via surgery.  What I fear is that if the chemo doesn't slow the progression of the liver metastatic disease that I will get real sick in the coming year.  I had an ultrasound a year ago that didn't show any lesions on the liver and a year later I have several.  Hopefu...
