Blog of Random Thoughts
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…
Yesterday I had my gastroscopy to verify that everything went well with the surgery last year and to make sure that the cancer has not returned. The first time I did it I was not sedated and was able to drive back home that same day. This time I opted to be sedated so I…

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…
With the new lockdown things are going to be interesting. The kids will be attending school from home which is always a lot of fun. The nice thing is that they tend to bother Melanie and not me. I do not talk to them when they enter my office and tell them to leave. Normally…
