Feb 5, 2023 Day 2 of new meds

February 5, 2023
2:23am- I was awake so I decided to get up and take my Sulfrate Auspension Plus for ulcers since you need to take it on a totally empty stomach. 

4:30am- threw up

Went back to bed after. Looking forward to seeing the full moon and hopefully hear the owls howling early morning. I heard 2 last night.   

Did not hear the owls.  But saw the full moon.  It’s cloudy so it wasn’t too clear.

6am: Threw up again.  Natalie came up and was able to help. Took nausea medication.  Took antacid. 

6:20am- Managed to drink 1/2 a boost followed by taking my 2 steroid pills. 

8am - My neighbor Kristen came over and hooked me up to IV for hydration. Another 5 hours.  
Nicky made bread and more rice pudding to freeze so I have some when she leaves. 

Nat left this morning to head back to PA since its Coopers 6th birthday tomorrow.  It was so nice to have her here. We will miss her!

The only thing I feel like eating is a smoothie because nothing else tastes good.  My tastebuds are off and I’m not hungry.  The smoothies are refreshing. Nicky has been making me very small batches throughout the day.

2pm- Took a shower and weighed 94 pounds.

I slept in the cough before going to bed. 

Bedtime 10:00pm

December 28-29, 2023 - Pain Control

December 28, 2023 12:00am- I was in lots of pain and couldn’t get comfortable especially when I had to keep getting up to go to the bathroom.  The nurse gave me Hydromorphine ( Dilauded ) for pain with a heated blanket. It just calmed me down.  Today crappy feeling day. I brought up and at least I don’t feel pain now. Just as they gave me Zofran and Tylenol, I brought up.  8:00am- Breakfast came but I couldn’t touch it.  I tried to nibble on a few things.  8:30am- They did bloodwork.  10:00am- My sister came to help out with bathing me and stayed until 1:30pm. I was finally pain free and slept for a couple of hours. She stayed until Steve showed up.  Serge, a physio therapist came to do physio and exercises in bed. He showed me tricks of how to get and in and out of bed. Later Paul, another physio therapist showed up to show me how to go up and down the stairs.  Steve brought home some of my wash. Diane brought me down in the wheelchair to get a tea and Steve later brought me down for

January 22, 2024- Blog message

Some of you may be surprised to hear this message. This is not the easiest blog to write. I haven’t blogged publicly lately because I wanted to be surrounded by my family. I updated my blog today.  On January 18, 2024, I was told my lung cancer is spreading and there is nothing they can now due except to keep me comfortable.  My family needed time to digest the news. They have been helping me get through this whole process. Lung cancer or any cancer is a nasty disease.  I have had so many friends and people reach out to support me through prayers and loving thoughts not even knowing what is happening. I just can’t believe the impact I have had on others.  The good news is  knowing I had no regrets and I have lived life to the fullest. My daughter asked if there was something I wanted to do before I transition and I had nothing to say. I am at peace and ready to receive the Lord.  I am going in McNally house in Grimsby where comfort will be given. It will be one place we will donate mon
