May 6, 2023 PSW Visit

May 6, 2023

Had my Boost at 6:45am and then took a shower. 
8:00am- Took my blood thinner pill. 
10:00am- Vanessa from PSW came to check my vitals. 
Since the sun was out, I went to look at my vegetable garden. The rhubarbs are popping. 
Didn’t stay out long.  Just have to test the waters. 

12:00pm- Took my target pill and had lunch. 
1:30pm-  I was so happy because I remembered how to play a couple of song on my ukulele. My fingers are tender but hopefully, if I start feeling better,  I can start playing again. Then I will work up to my
Guitar. My back was also getting sore so I quit after 1/2 hour. 
Steve tried starting my car, however the battery was dead. He recharged it before starting her up. 
The car hasn’t been driven since early November. 
8:00pm- Took my blood thinner and then bed. 
It was a good day now I am exhausted since I hardly slept today.

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
