I had to go for my CT scan this morning and then have my pump disconnected. Arriving at the hospital parking lot I had found a space but with the truck you need to back into the spaces and I could not figure out a method to actually get the truck in because there was…
It amuses me how easy it is to forget things about the chemo treatment. It has only been two weeks but yesterday so many things happened that I forgot some of the effects. I forgot that when I eat my whole mouth locks up and it is very difficult to swallow. I forgot that I…
The amount of support that we have received over the weekend has been surreal. Mel does not think that we deserve all of the love that we have received and she has made comments about how we need to pay this forward to everyone. I reminded her that people have wanted to help us out…
