May 7, 2023

Woke up at 7:30am and took a shower before having my Boost. 
Maybe it is the weather, but today I am very tired. 
8:00am- Took my blood thinner pill
12:00pm- Took my target pill 
Slept and watched TV most of the day. 
Not feeling 100%, I went to bed at 7:15am not that I slept right away. I have to wait a bit to take my blood thinner pill.

Woke up at 6:30am and had my Boost. 
8:00am- Took my blood thinner pill.  
Feeling a little better right now. Had a good long sleep last night. 

I realize I have to wear a mask outside now because of the high pollen count right now otherwise I start coughing uncontrollably and one of my lungs hurts. It is a small sacrifice to pay in order to go outside finally. 
I also have to wear a huge brim hat so the sun doesn’t not touch my skin. The drugs make you very sensitive to the sun. Of course, I need to also put on sunscreen. 

1200pm- Took my target pill 
Today was a good day. I went for a brief late afternoon ride in the car with Steve.  

8:00pm- Took my blood thinner pill. 
Bedtime tonight at 8:15.

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
