Dec 29

December 29, 2009

Whew! I made it through the past couple of weeks with no major problems. The bathroom remodel is moving along. I went by the house last night after being gone for a week in Park City. The house is a total mess with dust and dirt everywhere! I am hoping to get a cleaning crew in the place on Thursday because it is simply is unlivable right now. The cats are super lonely and I think .. Read More


Getting things done

December 22, 2009

Yeah! This week is finally over and now I will be on my way to Park City tomorrow. The surgery went great…I barely even had any pain the past few days. The house remodel is under control and should be done in the next few weeks, and the appliances for my kitchen all came in today! The microwave was supposed to come at a later time, but when I arrived at the house today I was .. Read More


Busy week

December 15, 2009

Ok this is now a week later and my face still has this damn rash! It’s a little on my neck too. It almost looks like I’m a teenage going through puberty. To make matters worse, the right eye that was puffy is back to normal, but now my left eye has some kind of infection. This has been going on for four days now. It feels like there is something in there, but there isn’t anything .. Read More


Cancer is an ugly, ugly thing

December 13, 2009

It is really pathetic that I know all of the reality trash tv and the “characters”. I’ve now gotten addicted to shows such as “Tough Love”, “Intervention”, “Keeping up with the Kardashians”, “Housewives of OC”, and more. I never use to watch tv and now it seems like that’s all I am able to do at night.

I went to get a facial the other day and whatever was put on my face burned me and caused .. Read More


Head shave

December 11, 2009

I woke up this morning to my right eye almost glued shut. I had an allergic reaction to something and my eye is super puffy. This use to happen all the time last year and I thought it was because I was allergic to rice. It hadn’t happened in quite some time so then I thought it was probably tied in with the cancer somehow. When I went to see my primary care doc regarding this last .. Read More


Caregiver schedule

December 10, 2009

Hi Everyone

I am having a surgery next Friday and will need to have someone with me 24-7 for the first 5 or so days.

Rosanna volunteered to take the first day on Friday. She will most likely spend the night Friday night. My friend Ann Marie may be able to help out Saturday if she doesn’t head back to Chi-town early.

Anyway, if you are able to help out, please let me know!

Friday, Dec 18: Rosanna Saturday, Dec .. Read More


I just need a drink

December 8, 2009

Is it weird that all I really want to do right now is be at a bar drinking a beer? Or maybe have a nice big glass of wine. I was asking my Oncologist what he thought about me drinking…he said one or two a week maybe okay. It doesn’t really matter, it doesn’t sound good to me at all. It’s so funny to think that because I use to love wine! I used to love .. Read More


Without Words

A couple of people have been pointing out that I have not been writing lately. I didn’t realize how long it had been since I had last written. I guess I just haven’t felt motivated lately, or just not wanting to share what’s on my mind. I’m not even sure there really is anything specific going through my head right now. I feel like half the days I’m dead just going through the motions.

I had plans .. Read More
