Being thankful…
As I wrote to a friend earlier today, I'm thankful, and overjoyed, today because Lee got to come home from the hospital last night. He came with antibiotics, two new inhalers, a steroid dose pack, O2 Sat monitor, new BP cuff, new meds and strict orders to let them know if he has any instances of being excessively short of breath but that's okay. I ( Read more... ) -
It’s been a very long week…
Hi guys,
First off, I'm sorry it's been so long since I could give you an update. The last weeks of my radiation treatments really kicked my butt. Besides the fatigue, which I'm still dealing with, I ended up with two areas that looked like 2nd degree burns on the underside of my left breast. Getting those healed without infection wasn't fun but ( Read more... ) -
Frustrating day…
Good news first, I’m down to only five more radiation treatments now. I get to ring the bell next Wednesday which will be nice. So far, so good. Still dealing with the rash but I don’t think that will improve until I’m finished. I’ve got some tenderness in my breast but my skin still looks good, no signs of redness or peeling, thank goodness!

Update...
Hi guys! Just a quick update on the rash. Still no real word on a cause. Dr. Saving doesn't think that it's related to an infection in my med port but they're flushing it on Tuesday just to be safe.
Still dealing with the itching and redness. If it's not due to an infection, it's either my Lupus acting up in reaction to the radiation treatments or ( Read more... ) -
Good thoughts please…
I’ve got redness and a rash starting on my right side of my face and down my neck. This can be signs of an infected med port. I also had some pain in my neck over the weekend. I’m going to ask them to check it while I’m at radiation this morning. I’ve also got an appointment to be seen by my surgeon, Dr. Saving, tomorrow morning at 11am after I get ( Read more... ) -
Books for sale…
Between hard drive crashes, prep for starting radiation treatments and attempted car vandalism I thought I’d never get this list of books posted to try and sell. But, finally, here it is. This is only the beginning as I’ve made the decision to sell all my remaining comics collection. It’s time. Even though I still love them, I wouldn’t want Lee to ( Read more... ) -
I postponed starting my radiation treatments until next week.
I spoke to my team this morning after they got my x-rays, there’s just too much going on this week. Namely that I can’t afford to get my car fixed right now. I need to get stuff sold just to cover money for the rest of the month, including $175 for our gas and electric bill which has to be paid by the 20th plus $108 for our water and sewage bill.

Update on catalytic converter theft 9-8-21:
I spoke to our across the street neighbor, Rick, on Friday. It was him coming down the steps at the end of our Nest doorbell video. He heard the sound of the saw the thief used to remove my converter and correctly guessed someone's car was being vandalized. He just didn't realize it was mine right across the street because the guy was crouched down ( Read more... ) -
State of the me
We'll, it was a good news, bad news kind of day on Wednesday. I had my appointment to get a CT scan done to do the mapping for my upcoming radiation treatments.The good news was that they think they might be able to shield my pacemaker enough that they won't have to move it to the other side of my chest. Which would be wonderful. I so don't want ( Read more... ) -
Arrrgh!!!!
My computer's hard drive has died, joy happiness. Not looking forward to having to rebuild it and then having to try and rescue files off the old drive.
I really don’t need the expense or the hassle right now. Time spent dealing with this is time I won’t have for trying to get stuff sold. And, I really need to get stuff sold.
Good thoughts would be ( Read more... )
