February 5, 2024

February 5, 2024- Dr Flanigan came for a visit.  What a compassionate soul. 
What a great respite staying  at McNally House. I couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. Every nurse, care giver, doctor, coordinator,  cleaning and kitchen staff, are so giving.

HOLY CRAP STAGE- Dec 22, 2022

Image
Dec 22, 2022 Woke up this morning nauseous.  Today was a day we were anxiously waiting for. We finally find out the results, or at least most of them, of all the test I’ve had.    8:30am- Met with Dr Jany, an internist at St Catharines Hospital. Surprisingly, we were told I had stage 4 lung cancer which spread to my bones.  This was so unexpected and that is why we called this stage “ Holy Crap ’.  Steve went to see our family doctor, Dr Aliu, to pick up nausea pills for me and Metamucil for constipation.  Steve explained that the doctor was so upset and couldn’t believe the results since I always ate (at least most of the time) healthy, exercised, never smoked and tried to follow a stress free life. Who knows however Steve and I are moving forward with a positive outlook.  The hardest part is letting my daughters know. They are strong women and we love them dearly. I hope to feel well enough to see them along with grand children and son-in-laws. ...

February 14, 2023 Happy Valentines Day everyone. Steve and I always feel Valentine’s is everyday.   Today is a great day since I will be only taking 1 pill of  steroid and blood thinner twice a day! I will be glad to be off the steroids.  2:30am- Took my ulcer meds and decided to lay on the couch since I was wide awake. I listen to a podcast and eventually fell asleep a bit.  4:00am- Had a bowl of cereal and then laid down a bit.  Amazing how wide awake I get and how hungry I am.  5:30am-Took my antacid along with ONE steroid pill instead of two now.  9:00am- Took my blood thinner  11:00am-Did some muscle buildup exercise which Natalie told me to do. It wasn’t easy. Could hardly lift my legs. So I stopped since it was so draining. Natalie said to go really slow.  12:00pm-  Took my targeted pill and then Steve made me a sandwich with bean salad. So good.  Rested in the sunroom all afternoon and soaked up the sun while listening ...

December 31, 2022 Nicky safely arrived at Natalie ‘a last night from Florida. Both will be leaving early this morning and driving here today.  What a great New Years Eve for Steve and I. Glad they will be arriving around noon since I know I won’t be up to greet the New Year when midnight hits but will wake up happy on New Years Day.  The girls arrived at 1:00 pm and Already went shopping and started preparing meals so that we will have pre made meals in the future.  9:30- I went to bed while the girls laid beside me. We were going to watch TV however ended up talking for an hour. It was so nice.  10:30pm-  For some reason, I had a cough spell with wheezing. Never had that before and not sure why.  The girls stayed with me until I fell asleep.  Didn’t make it to midnight but we cheered before I went to bed.  Happy New Year.
