Hark! The herald angel sing... December 13, 2022

 

Well, bag change day was horrible.  I kept excreting and it was just disgusting.  I need to be more careful about how much I eat on bag change days, etc...  I had fasted from 9:00 PM, but that seemed to not have much of an effect.  It was pretty obvious I was clogged up and something got unclogged after the shower.  I guess you live you learn.

We decorated the living room a bit and it is nice to have the Christmas lights and a small tree up.  I can't guarantee I will be here next year and I want to have some feeling of Christmas this year.  I still can't believe it has only been a year since we discovered I was sick.  It seems both like such a long time and a short time all together.  So much has happened directly to me this year.  I did get a lot done outside, small garden, etc...  I can't wait until spring so that I can start on the yard again.  It is so nice to get out in the warmer mornings and work in the fresh air.  

I am going to try and stop just playing Minecraft all night, but then I don't get to sit next to Tiffany.  I know that she is really depressed and I am trying to think of a way to get her out of it.  I should not get stoned tonight and see if she wants to bowl or mini-golf.  We haven't done either in a while.  I just have to keep my sugars good today and not over eat.  I think the big thing is not getting stoned as that causes me to just sit and veg.

Well, I need to get some gaming in this morning then so that I don't want to game tonight.  

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...
