January 17th – Post day 10

Posted on 2026-01-172026-01-17 By Q No Comments on January 17th – Post day 10

I really enjoy lemon poppy seed loaf as I am addicted to opium and it is my fix. Mel decided to make some this week and we finished one of the loads earlier this week and Mel took the one from the freezer out as the kids requested it. I cut myself a small piece…

January 16th – Post Treatment Day 9

Posted on 2026-01-162026-01-16 By Q No Comments on January 16th – Post Treatment Day 9

I need to make sure that I take my anti-nausea pills. I am finishing up my coffee right now and my stomach is not really full, but I am feeling some nausea. It is awesome. I think that if I tried to eat something right now that it would not sit very well. I realized…

January 15th – Post treatment day 8

Posted on 2026-01-152026-01-15 By Q No Comments on January 15th – Post treatment day 8

I am not sure how the effects of the radiation decrease over time, but it seems that today the nausea is a bit worse than usual. I thought that I was doing the smarter thing by eating mid morning and thought that I could eat again around lunch time. I am struggling with that as…

January 14th – Post Treatment Day 7

Posted on 2026-01-142026-01-14 By Q No Comments on January 14th – Post Treatment Day 7

The difference between our two kids amuses me and when we went to The Outside store for skis it was quite evident with the staff. Olivier was getting new skis and boots and the year earlier Xavier has gone. They had dealt with Xavier and it was super easy. He knew what he liked and…

January 13th – Post Day 6

Posted on 2026-01-132026-01-13 By Q No Comments on January 13th – Post Day 6

Mel and I always try to support local companies and we have quite a good relationship with a lot where they know us by name. Last night they did not end up towing the truck and dropped if off this morning in a less than ideal location blocking in my sister-in-law’s vehicle. I unfortunately do…

January 12th – Post Treatment Day 5, 1st Week Post Radiation

Posted on 2026-01-12 By Q No Comments on January 12th – Post Treatment Day 5, 1st Week Post Radiation

This is the first week prior to my treatment and I have seemed to confirm that I can not eat as much in the morning right now. It seems that my intake in the morning is less than it was prior to radiation. As the day progresses however it does get better. It seems however…

January 11th – Perspectives

Posted on 2026-01-112026-01-11 By Q No Comments on January 11th – Perspectives

Perspective is an interesting thing. Your vantage point and your own bias influence how you see thIngs. I have had chats with various people about hockey and playing time. There are quite varied views on whether kids should have even playing time or not. I know parents on both sides of the fence and interestingly…

January 10th – Weekend

Posted on 2026-01-102026-01-10 By Q No Comments on January 10th – Weekend

Xavier ended up getting a shutout last night and we found out after the game that our afternoon game was moved to first thing in the morning. What this meant was that Olivier would be home alone for quite some time. I texted my favorite brother and asked him if he could pick up Olivier…

January 8th – Post Radiation Day 1

Posted on 2026-01-082026-01-08 By Q No Comments on January 8th – Post Radiation Day 1

This is the first day post treatment and it is expected that the effects will last for another two weeks. Even though I knew that the impacts of radiation are cumulative I figured that I had it quite mastered. Boy was I wrong about that. I have a lot of patience for when people are…
