Feb 6, 2023 - Checkup/Day 3 of IV

February 6, 2023 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY GRANDSON, COOOER  who turned 6 years old today. 

1:30am: got up to take my ulcer medicine and actually felt good and had a bowel movement.

Weight 94.1 lbs 

5:30am: got up to start the antacid/ steroid procedure while Nicky sipped on her coffee next to me. 

Thanks for those who did the #sweatforlise workout this morning!

8:30am-  At the hospital getting blood work and vitals taken. Bloodwork showed phosphate low so now I need four hours of IV here. 

12:00- Took my targeted therapy drug. 


1:15pm- Still on IV for another 1 1/2 hours. So far I ate solids. Cookies, crackers and peanut butter. They pass around food and drinks. They have a nice hot tea.
   




First day of eating mostly solids although I eat like a bird. My taste buds are affected. 
After being at the hospital for 8 hrs, I finally got home around 4:00pm and was exhausted. 
 Nicky made stir fry and I managed to eat a few bites. 
I took one steroids pill. Tomorrow I start weening myself from steroids. It will be a month process. 

9:45pm - Bedtime

    Today is a sign of even better days to come, Lise. You are gaining weight and eating solids! What an improvement! Keep up the hard work and enjoy this special time with 😇 Nicky. Blessings to Steve who is your Rock, as you've said so many times. We can never have too many angels. Love you ❤

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
