So you think that it's over... August 8, 2023


Sorry I missed a few days.  I was pretty sick post chemo, but just starting to feel better today.  Good news from blood work as everything was back to normal.  I like that.

The garden is looking good even after all the bugs on the brussels sprouts.  I am happy to see the grape vines back and the blackberry is spreading well (I'll need to try and take a cutting of that one).

Am I being lazy just posting pictures... Pretty much, but it shows I am busy and doing things:

Colors seem to fade... April 27, 2022

  I wonder if you all notice the Hue lights changing colors behind me.  Today's theme is blue plane so I try to match the fireplace to the light theme.  Fun stuff.  Combined with my happy light I try to find things that make my spirts brighten or relax.   I have been feeling really positive with hearing Sloan wants to do some further work other than just straight chemo.  Every one I have read about the survived a similar diagnosis as me has had the same mental approach and some similar treatment paths that started with standard chemo and then some combination of new treatments and surgery.  So I am keeping up my energy and my healthy eating to ensure that I am a candidate for whatever is coming in 2 months. My brain has been pretty foggy lately.  I know that is the chemo, but I hate it.  I pride myself on being witty and quick, but those thoughts seem slower lately.  I have been doing an ok job with keeping the "there is no tumor" a...

This magic moment... October 6, 2023

  Today is our anniversary.  It hasn't been a year filled with fun and activities.  Since last October we have been through some bullshit.  I was wasting away with an ostomy bag, nearly died after surgery, had to be waited on and taken care of daily.  Tiffany went through it all without complaining to me.  I know it stressed her out, I know she didn't want to be doing what she did, but she did it all without question, every day.  It is amazing how loved I am.  I don't know if I will ever be able to repay her, but I will try. Today I will attempt to make a nice dinner and we will watch a movie or sit out with the dogs.  Either way, we will be together and that what matters. I have been feeling a bit better, but that is probably because we have chemo in a few days.  I always start to feel better as we move towards chemo day.  I suppose I need to take the good with the bad and be happy that I am still able to do the things that I do. W...

Oh, sinnerman, where you gonna run to? November 18, 2022

 I will be honest, I don't feel like typing this morning.  No so much anything to do with the cancer, but more so the last day of the first week back to work, dogs think that I am going to give them treats all the time in the morning for some reason so they harass me constantly.  I mean what are they thinking, I can't reward that naughty behavior so they aren't going to get a treat at all.  Horrible puppy catch 22... Either way, other than being tired and having some lightheaded issues I have felt pretty good.  I am quite confident that my night cramping issue is dehydration and lack of nutrients (calcium, magnesium, potassium) so I have started to supplement them and last night I had one cramp on the bottom of my foot only so that is improvement. Off to make some breakfast... Love you all!
