9/9/21

Today is Thursday and it wasn’t much better than yesterday. We are staying in the Hwy 6 RV Resort. I had a package mailed to the office. There is no box number. Only the folks living here have box numbers.  All other mail simply goes to the office. The post office says they delivered my package 2 days ago to “the box”.  It took most of today to figure out that they delivered it to box #6.  You have no idea what I went through just to figure that out. You just can’t fix stupid. 

The tech that does the trunk pump screwed up the paperwork and when I called today to check on it, she said she’ll have to send it to my house because it won’t be shipped in time. I will have to get the rep out of Dallas to come fit it for me. She comes to Tyler one day a week. By appointment only. I’ve been waiting 5 months for this thing, so what’s a few more weeks, right?

Wait - the day gets better and better. I have learned my pain doctor’s nurse cannot read. That must be the problem. She sent my pain Rx to Tyler after I sent the local pharmacy info to her. I was out today. Needed it. Today. After 1/2 the day was gone, she sent it in. The pharmacy texted me that it would be filled in “1 or 2” days  I called them to see if it could be expedited. She said no.  And…. It would arrive next Tuesday at the earliest. What?!? Didn’t you just send me a text….. frick! Never mind. I contacted the doctor again and explained the problem. She called it in to the pharmacy at Methodist hospital   She said  it would be ready in 45 minutes.  2 hours later, I am still in the line.  She says I have to get it filled there from this day forward.  I explained that I don’t live here.  Doesn’t matter. State law.  OMG.  This day just went downhill further.  If that’s even possible. 

I had my super radiation today and will have it the next 4 days. It took a little longer, but it was no big deal. The hair follicles on my chest are extremely aggravated now and, well, it’s miserable.  The creams aren’t helpful enough and it’s, well, miserable.  Did I mention it’s miserable?  I guess I did.

Today kinda sucked. It’s gotta be a better day tomorrow.

I have a question for ya’ll:

Who, exactly, is Pete, and why do we keep doing things for his sake?


Today’s 3 year olds can operate a cell phone, iPad, laptop, etc.

When I was 3, I ate mud. I’m not making this up.

  6/16/25 I’m back. By a show of hands, everyone that loves my charts, and patient portals, etc. raise those hands high! Hmmmm, I see none going up. I have sent messages on my patient portal on several occasions and heard nothing back. So, I call the office and leave a message, because you never get a real person the first time. No one calls me back. I think I might drive to the office tomorrow. ….. sigh. On a good note, my ctDNA test came back negative. Hooray! And I go back to MD Anderson in Houston in two months. I have an endoscopy in three weeks. I see my rheumatologist in two days. I need to get my dermatologist to take a look at my head. It’s been five weeks since she cut that open and it still has not healed. It’s still scabby and bloody. So, I still cannot get in the pool. And I have to stay out of the sun. It looks pretty icky on the top of my head, I’m sorry to say.  David and I celebrated my good news by going to Shreveport this past weekend. We had a good time. Th...

12/10/25 Thursday First of all, good news. My latest cancer test came back negative.  I am currently in Las Vegas, supposedly having a grand time, but I am not. I got food poisoning and spent all day yesterday in bed. At least when I wasn’t vomiting or had diarrhea. All dang day. By evening, I was so weak I could barely walk. The hotel called paramedics and they took me to the ER. I was there until 11:30 PM last night. Poor David. I felt so sorry for him. It was a horrible evening and I’m still weak this morning. I haven’t eaten anything since Tuesday evening . We’re supposed to fly home tomorrow. I sure hope I’m better than this by then. I got show tickets for last night with spectacular seats and David had to take them back and get our money back. At least we got to go to the national finals rodeo Tuesday night. That was so much fun! Today doesn’t look like much fun, though. I feel horrible. They did a lot of scans at the hospital. Showed a lot of scarring in my right lung, which...

  5/12/2025 It’s been five months since I’ve written in my blog. Several people are upset with me for taking such a long break. However, my life just hasn’t been very exciting these past few months. I will appease the masses and update my blog today. David and I went on a seven day cruise in January and I continued with physical therapy twice a week for my back. David and I took a road trip in February and March. We drove thousands of miles and stopped in to see a lot of old friends along the way. We made it to Vegas and we got to see Garth Brooks in concert. That was a lot of fun. We kept going through Utah and Colorado and finally made our way back home. I cut almost 10 inches off of my hair in March. It was my first real haircut in years. I had another sleep study done and saw the pulmonologist several times. He wanted a special kind of sleep study so I went back for a third one. He ordered me another CPAP machine, but this one has a different mouthpiece and I sleep pretty well ...
