I'm not sayin' that I love you... I'm not sayin' that I'll care if you love me... February 15, 2023



 
I thought I would share a stare at the UV Happy Light.  It is supposed to be 62 sunny and breezy (boo) today so I suspect I will be outside for some of it.  It feels so good.  I definitely suffer from season depression.

So yesterday Tiffany and I realized due to statements from the oncologist that yesterday's chemo could be the last chemo treatment.  They may be able to get the liver cleaned out and I do not believe they feel there is cancer any where else in my body.  I am trying not be too ecstatic about it or overly terrified that the liver will not be addressable when they get in there.  I would take the two surgery path if necessary, but getting it all in one would be amazing.  With the pump, ileostomy, and all cancer gone, I could get myself back on a road to normalcy.  I will have lots of recovery, they are reconnecting things, disconnecting things and moving stuff around in my insides.  I think by late summer I will be back to my normal self to some extent.

I really can't believe that I could be getting more time with Tiffany.  I know from the way I feel now that if we kept with treatments, I would probably make several more years on maintenance therapy.  However, I want that shit out of me.

Looking forward to the last chemo week for a while - what comes next is worse.

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!

 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...

Sometimes I wonder if I'm Ever gonna make it home again... July 4, 2023

 See, I changed t-shirts :)  Question is, was I wearing this t-shirt yesterday as well? It is funny how all my clothes that I bought when I was thinner all fit now so it is like I have a whole new wardrobe.  Now if I could just find some comfy shorts.  They are probably in my messy pile, but I am too lazy to dig through it. I am stoned at the moment and contemplating going back to bed (even though I have had my coffee).  My bowels woke me up a little before 5 and then Nala was waiting at the bedroom door when I came out of the bathroom.  So here I am typing this at 6 AM on a vacation day. I made a discovery yesterday that the latest alarm on my phone is 7 AM.  I thought, what does that say about me?  I think it says I don't sleep in, I go to bed early(?), I don't really have a lot of things to get up for except work(?), who knows.  I just found it funny that I have never thought I need an alarm to ensure I am up by 8 AM :) My vacation is wind...
