I really don't know life at all... May 2, 2022

 

Totally different view of the man cave and the Save Ferris t-shirt is no lost on me.  

So yesterday was kind of a wash - I just didn't feel myself and had little to no energy.  Usually a little hit will get me to the point that I can ignore the nausea in my stomach to get other things done or at least keep me busy so that I dont' get depressed.  That didn't work.

I told Tiffany yesterday that I felt like I was on a hamster wheel.  She's on it with me.  Honestly though, isn't all of our lives a hamster wheel as some point.  Get the job, repeat the job for a minimum of 5 days, try to think of something fun to do in between cleaning and finishing the things you put off for five days - then repeat. 

I really have look at life from many sides in my life and I really still don't understand so much why we are here.  With that said, I know that I have loved Tiffany and girls more than anything and that I have done everything I could to make their lives better.  I think I did OK.

I really don't feel like working today.  Other than the paycheck, it holds no value for me anymore.  It is a way to make money - that's it.  I need to get my head sorted, but with two more treatments until I know anything about progression I am going to have a hard time focusing on much of anything else.  

Well - time to get ready for the grind.

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...
