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:

Thank you very much... December 9, 2024

 I've dipped into the winter hoodies so maybe I will be wearing something different in these pictures.  I don't have a lot of time to write. You know, I almost never write the date anymore.  Funny, it used to be so important and now it is just another day.  Interesting to watch over the years how things have changed and what we focus on.  For example, I have no idea why people wear watches any more, even the smart ones.  I mean I am the most technical IT obsessed person I know and I want to shed my phone as it tries to keep me engaged and I don't like that. As to me, I had a 3rd ablation - let's hope 3rd times a charm.  I am feeling ok except my insides are still a wreck and I think this is just something I have to deal with forever. Off to get the dogs and get ready for work. I love you all!

Midnight on the water... November 20, 2024

 I am glowing from the monitor light.  I wonder how bad that much light has been for my eyes over the years?  That made me laugh - like my monitor hurting my eyes is a concern right now. We leave for NYC, again, today.  I think I mentioned in yesterday's post that this will be my 3rd ablation.  So as the count goes: 2 port placements 3 ablations 2 major abdominal surgeries Colon/Liver resections Lymph node biopsies Hepatic pump placement Ileostomy and reversal The joys of liver drains 2 years and 10 months of chemo (with some breaks) - I've lost count. When I type it out like that it seems like I have been through some shit, but honestly all I feel is love.  You all have been not only supportive, but you have been my world.   I'm worried about this one.  Some of it is that I haven't felt well and the other is that if they don't get it all this time or it comes back, I don't know what the next step is as I am exhausting my treatment options....

When I think of those east end lights... Muggy nights the curtains drawn... December 3, 2022

  December 3rd.  My Christmas Milestone is just around the corner.  We are going to get the decorations today and I going to find somethings we haven't put up in a while.  We used to be excited about Christmas and I want to feel a little of that.  I tend not to be excited about the future as I have no idea what it brings. The shorter milestones help me at least plan for those items. Today is bag change day so I haven't had a drop of water since 9:00 PM except for a tiny sip at 2:00 AM.  I feel like a Sahara desert universe lives in my mouth right now.  Tiffany is so awesome to help with the change.  I could do it a lone, but she just makes it so easy.  She really has stepped up and I would call her a caretaker even though I don't really need one at this time. Well, I need to go get all the bag things ready so that I can let Tiffany get up and get back to sleep.  Then I can  also get a drink of water. I love you all!
