It is two days before Christmas and I am not sure if we are prepared or not. We still need to make some purchases at Costco and instead of venturing out there I might just order what we need via Instacart to avoid both the weather and the people. I am sure that it is…

I now have a driver to take me to my appointments as Mel does not think that I am capable. She is also cutting up my food and feeding it to me after she pre-chews it. I am actually not that bad at the moment but I think that Mel is doing it to prevent…

December 21st – Winter Solstice

Posted on 2025-12-212025-12-21 By Q No Comments on December 21st – Winter Solstice

Our kids are such a reflection of ourselves. Xavier yesterday was at a hockey game on the bench and he naturally pays attention and tracks shots, the handedness of each player on the other team and nuances of them. It always amuses me because he knows what hand each of the good players are so…

This morning while I was going through treatment I was talking to the technicians and they had mentioned that right now we are treating it very superficially and trying to radiate that area. With the surgeon his belief was that this is widespread and it will…

Last night was a rough night. I woke up at 1:45am. At first I thought it was because Mel was assaulting me as I felt something in my chest. I grabbed Mel’s arm to stop her from assaulting me. But she was sleeping. It seems that I had some acid reflux and it woke me…
