Blog of Random Thoughts
Over the course of the last year I have been going in every 3 to 4 months for checkups. During my last scan late summer, they had noticed that I had some fluid in my abdomen and while it normally would not be a concern, with my history they wanted to be careful and schedule…
I finally fixed my laptop enough that I can use it now. I should have done it a while ago but I did not. The battery needed to be replaced by a screw had been stripped so it was hard to get off. I managed to get it off and replaced and now it is…
Time flies by so quickly. It surprises me that I have not posted anything for 10 days. I had thought it was only a couple of days. Last year when I was diagnosed a friend of mine said that before I know it the year would be done and I would be back to normal….
Last week I was quite tired. Over the weekend we had a wedding to attend and Olivier started to get sick. Instead of having the boys at a sleepover we had my brother come and watch the kids and I came home early to take care of him. As a result I have now gotten…

We started hockey again and had a scrimmage against another team last night. Xavier is playing really well and shut out the other team during the scrimmage. In the past this team has beaten us by a considerable amount. When he plays well it seems to energize the team and they start to play better….
One of the ways that I know that I am feeling better is by the amount of time that I sleep. Melanie loves sleeping and likes to sleep in. She is a night owl and is not fond of waking up in the morning. Xavier is like her and does not like getting up in…
I had my doctor’s appointment a couple of days ago and it went well. I avoided asking questions about the cancer because I did not want to hear the statistics again. I am well aware that the survival stats are bad and was not in the mood to hear them. I did cancel my appointments…
