12/20/22

Today is Tuesday. Yesterday was one for the books, for sure. I got up at noon, was up two hours, then took a two hour nap, was up two hours, then took another two hour nap. I was up for three hours, then went to bed for the night. David asked me if I was going to go to bed already and I said “yes, I’ve been awake for seven hours!”. I slept for 9 1/2 hours last night, and I’m ready for another nap now. He has gone to meet Courtney to pick up our six year old grandson, so I better get my nap in now. I’m going to need it. He’s going to stay with us until New Year’s. 

Tranquilizers only work if you follow the advice on the label: keep away from children.

He keeps us hopping for sure. I feel my age when he’s around. I am getting old. You know you’re getting old, when they discontinue your blood type.

My oncologist called today and set up an appointment for me to have my January infusion. I will have it when I get back from MD Anderson in Houston. The sarcoma specialist office called me from MD Anderson and set up an appointment in January, Friday the 13th. I hate that day. That’s the date I found out that I really did have cancer two years ago.

I need a new calendar. I’m getting all these appointments in January and I have nothing to write it on. I hope Santa Claus brings me one.

I took a selfie the other day because I thought I was having a good hair day. But the photographs just don’t do me justice. They look just like me.

Oh! I just learned something today. I will share it with you. It’s the definition of liberalism. liberalism is: when you think injecting cows with hormones is evil. But injecting children with hormones to change their gender, is just fine. 

OK, last thing. I have a riddle for you today. What do you call an alligator in a vest?

An investigator. Ha!

  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 ...
