A Whole New Adventure

January 28, 2024 Lots of joy when I saw Cooper and Logan ‘s face. 

January 29, 2024 My nights are getting worse. My daughter Natalie has been very helpful. Lots of pain in my nose. Trying a different ointments.  At 4:20 pm-  Nurses gave me a drop of fentanyl to test and see how I react. It only last one hour.  5:00pm- Received another shot of fentanyl. I had such a good sleep afterwards..

January 27, 2024 It was a rough night. For some reason, I sweated so much that that they had to change my pj’s 5 times and my bedding.  My nurse’s name is Hida. 

January 26, 2024 I woke up at 5:30am. Nicky showered and fed me. I didn’t get sick. They inject me before I eat so that I don’t get sick. It worked good this morning.  Nicky is leaving today to go back to Florida but will be back soon. 😢

January 24, 2024 1:45pm- Had my last radiation treatment and rang the bell.  Glad it is over.  When I got back to the hospice, they gave me meds to get rid of my bladder infection. If it is not one thing, it is another. 

January 23, 2024 I decided to continue my blog as long as I can when I can.  Nicky stayed over last night and they had a couch for her to sleep in. She said she slept good.  I slept really good. The only time I woke up was to take my meds.  The staff is so good. They gave me a bath. Unfortunately, with all the movement, I brought up so the nurse injected me with Zofran to prevent nausea.  10:00am- Started the process of seeing friends to say my last goodbye. My daughter is coordinating the visits  since I get tired quickly.  11:30pm-  The cook made fresh hot delicious banana muffins. Looks like soup will be tomatoes.  12:30pm- I decided to have tuna salad rather than tomato soup. 

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...
