I read the news today, oh boy... October 8, 2022


 

It really is a different t-shirt this morning :)

What a mess my office has become.  I think today I will try to pick up a bit (as long and the things I am picking up are less than 8 lbs. The lifting restrictions are a pain, but I guess the alternative of multiple abdomen hernias sounds a bit worse.  

I have been keeping myself busy trimming bud and I have about 13 good sized masonry jars full and 5-6 small masonry jars.  Funny thing is I am not even done harvesting yet and I still have a good masonry jar (or two) on the drying lines.  I guess next year (that's right cancer - next fucking year) I only need to grow a couple plants :)  Luckily, I have some vacuum lids so that I can remove all the air from several jars to preserve some bud long term.  So far testing shows the final product to be good, but I really won't know until after the full curing process.  The longest cured bud now is about 1 week so I have some time to wait.  My minimum time is two weeks for cure with preferable time in months (which I will have with many of the jars as I have a lot of bud).  We are allowed to grow 6 mature plants between Tiffany and I - that has turned out to be a lot of bud with the right strain of weed.

So enough about my weed adventure.  I have been mixed feeling as of late.  I generally wake up a little swimmy headed (food, water, and diabetes medication helps with this), but feeling overall good with energy.  Unfortunately, by mid-day I get tired and my sugar starts to creep up if I eat anything with carbs in it (you know - energy).  So, by midday I usually could nap, but I have been powering through and not sleeping during the day.  This may be helping with nighttime sleep as I slept 5 straight hours of a 7 hour sleep last night.  All in all, I feel like I am recovery from surgery ok and that in a couple of weeks I should feel loads better.  I have to keep reminding myself that they cut my mid-section from sternum to groin - you don't just bounce back from that in a week!

Well, I need to get on with my day!

I 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...
