Would you know my name... November 27, 2022

 


Well the four day weekend has ended :(  I still have today (Sunday) so I guess I have 1 more day. The dog woke me up at 3:39 AM so I suppose I have a good long day.  Probably will play a lot of Minecraft - I'm not gonna lie, I have been doing that in the living room next to Tiffany while we watch whatever we can find on Television.  You know, when I say "TV" I really think of old broadcast television.  I've been nostalgic lately thinking about my family, center street, what things were like for me back then.  I was clueless and that was a good thing.  Imagine burdening a teenager with the stuff you deal with as an adult.  The cluelessness was important at the time.

I suppose I need to stop focusing on the mortality side of things.  I just truly don't know how long I have.  It could be months, it could be years.  And one might say, "then get busy doing things" and to that I would have to answer that being here, in the home we built, together - that's doing things.  We have loved in this house, created life, and just lived.  We've made feasts, shared them with our family, and grew to be who we are.  There is no place better in this world then right in this home we made.  It is simple and perfect.  I will admit, and I think I posted this yesterday, that there are places I would like to go, but they are in no way more important than just being present in our home.  I love this house regardless of the repair it needs, the cleaning it needs, and ooh ooh that smell... 

Well, I am not really hungry, but I should make some food so I can take my medicine.

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...
