My love... There's only you in my life... February 14, 2023


 Yes, I am cold so I have a blanket around me.  I actually have this heated throw over my head as I didn't bring a beanie and it is cold next to the AC in the room.  As you can/can't see we are in NJ again.  This is the last chemo before surgery.  I can't believe that I have 2 weeks of chemo recovery, 2 weeks of no chemo, and then surgery.  It is closer than I think.

I am so nervous that they won't get it all or that I will have to have 2 surgeries.  I suppose I will deal with what life throws at me, but I sure would like to just have the one surgery and get it all.  I really hope that the small tumors disappeared, etc...  It is something to hope for.

I guess we will only know once they are in there.  I think sometimes I get even more nervous of concerned about Tiffany haven't to spend so much time in NYC by herself.  I mean she comes to visit me, but other than that she is alone.  I worry about her.  I think NYC is safe, I worry about her having to burden all these items herself.  She has been so selfless the last year, she is an amazing woman.

Tiffany and I had dinner at Fire and Oak yesterday.  It wasn't very good.  She didn't like her lobster ravioli and I was so-so on the Mahi.  I should have stuck with something simpler, but you learn.  It was nice to get out and have a dinner outside the house.  We don't do that often and rightfully so.  We have to ensure we don't get sick - so much to do in the next month.

Well, got to get ready for all the BS this morning.

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...
