February 27-28, 2923- Another week

February 27, 2023
Happy 70th Birthday to Steve. 

1:00am- Got up for a bowl of cereal. Finished decorating Steve’s cake which is just brownies with icing sugar sprinkled on it with the numbers 70. 
2:00am- Went back to sleep in the sunroom. 
4:00am- Took my antacid pill followed by steroid and Boost. 
Laid back down 

6:30am- Appreciate oMonday morning #sweatforlise from my daughter, Natalie. 
7:00am- Took a shower. 
8:00am- Had my morning smoothie with Steve. 

10:00am- I received a call from Cancer Centre pharmacist to confirm meds which I am taking and that they don’t counteract with one another. Looks like I can’t take Ibuprofen for my headaches since they counteract with blood thinners. NSAIDS affect the way platelets work and could interfere with normal blood clotting. 
1:30pm-  Worked on sorting some of my photos. Wasn’t able to finish, so I laid down. 
5:00- Had Dinner 
9:00pm- Took my blood thinner meds.
Today wasn’t the best but not the worse. Going with the flow. 
9:30pm-  Bedtime.

2:00am-  Woke up for my bowl of cereal then laid down in the sunroom. 
4:00am- Took my antacid meds followed by steroid and Boost. 
Laid back down. 
7:15- Took a shower. 
9:00am-Took my blood thinner pills  

10:20am- Went for bloodwork. Every month before I see Dr Wasselman, I need to get bloodwork. It felt good to get our. In fact, Steve took me down our street to view the lake. It was nice to see. 

Today is a good day for me. Interesting how yesterday was a difficult day. I managed to do 10 reps of small weight. Natalie is trying to get me to do 10 reps 3 times. I will get there. 

I managed to finish sorting all my photos and threw away doubles. It feels so good. 

5:30pm-  Helped Steve make dinner. It feels so good to feel good. I am SO appreciative and grateful to fell good. 

Great day. To bed 9:45pm.

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
