Pain. It’s back. Over the past few weeks it has been getting worse in my shoulder and scapula area. Getting going in the mornings is definitely getting more difficult. Today Lisa and I went to CTCA for my follow up with the doctors to get measured for radiation and talk about next steps and scheduling. Preparing for radiation was horrible. I was in so much pain, not only in my shoulder, but my ribs .. Read More

One of my biggest pet peeves are people that try to have full blown conversations through text messaging. I especially hate the infamous text, “How are you?” How am I supposed to respond to something like that? I have to admit that I have become extremely fast at texting now because of these conversations. What ever happened to the simple, “I’ll be 5 minutes late.” I shouldn’t get irritated by this, but I feel like .. Read More

I guess I was getting my days messed up. Today is Tuesday, so tomorrow is our last full day here in Cozumel. I’m glad because I think I need one more day here. This trip has been good for me. It’s been partly frustrating for a variety of reasons, but it’s also been a time for me to think about things to come. I have been feeling much more out of my element and .. Read More

Today I had to wake up early to catch the ferry to Playa Del Carmen with Barb and Dad. They had some doc appointments and I had to go pick up some blood clot medication. We had been to the pharmacy a few days earlier and the clerk said they would order it in and it would be there by today. I guess we were wrong. They had no record of it in their inventory. I ..

Here’s the thing I just realized…unless you are in the position that I am faced with or similiar, you will never understand. Nobody can grasp the pain that I feel sometimes, the way that I go about my day is a mystery to some, the hours of sunlight in a day and time doesn’t mean a thing to me, and in the overall picture of things, 99% of the time it doesn’t matter! The things that people .. Read More

I’ve been thinking…I have gone to tons of weddings, engagement parties, bachelorette parties, and baby showers for friends. I don’t know if I will have a chance to have this in my future. So I thought, why not still have something similiar so I don’t miss out, but have it be something that celebrates life! I can still do a “reception” with food, band, etc all at a nice venue. I spoke with my dad and .. Read More

Once again it’s in the middle of the night and I am downstairs by the pool trying to get whatever wi-fi is available. It’s so annoying because I keep trying to watch Prison Break and the damn player keeps “buffering” pausing the show. I have been trying to watch it now for 20 minutes…the same episode!

Tonight we went out with Dad and Barb’s friends that own a hotel here on Cozumel. We met up at a great Italian .. Read More

It’s 2:30am and I am sitting by the pool listening to the Ocean, worried that I am being eaten alive by mosquitos. I am trying to take advantage of the wi-fii here on the beach since my parents don’t get it in their condo. It’s kind of relaxing, yet a little eerie since I haven’t slept much the past few days and I am paranoid from all of the night sounds and creatures. Just a few minutes .. Read More

Now that I have the travel bug I have been thinking of other trips that I want to take over the next few months. I have a doc appt on April 26 and will find out my therapy schedule then. Last night I was online and found a rate to Hawaii for $250 roundtrip (Honolulu from Phx)! I put in some fake dates of May 6-12 and there were a few tickets left.

Is anyone able .. Read More
