After 48 hours I am supposed to get my chemo bottle disconnected. The bottle it supposed to be drained in approximately 46 hours but it might drain faster because of different factors. I get the bottle somewhere between 10:30 and 11:30 generally so it should be disconnected around 8:30 to 9:30. I think that it…
Not taking the steroids has quite the impact. Today I was rather tired but right now I am not doing too bad. I managed to do some prep work for our lunch tomorrow and I will do some more prep work with the help of Xavier once Mel has cleaned up the kitchen slightly. It…
16 years ago today, the best man of the day spent his speech poking fun of the approximate 74,208 hr age difference between Mel and myself. As my best friend he had intimate knowledge of myself growing up and he attributed milestones in my life and compared it to what he thought Mel was doing….

The kids will be sharing a room to themselves and a concern that I have is whether they will get along or not. If we prep them and tell Xavier he needs to take care of his brother he is pretty good. So far on this trip things have progress quite smoothly. The two of…
This is the third session of Chemo and things are a bit better today compared to my first two sessions. The port seems to be getting better as there was less discomfort when they inserted the needle into the port. I could feel the needle being inserted, but the sensation of the fluid going into…
Mel wanted to be involved in my post today and gave me a list of things that she wanted to discuss, so this is a joint posting. I would like to point that some content may be written under duress and do not reflect the views of the author. If there is something that you…
