hey guys!!!!!! Sorry I haven't been around, but thanks for thinking about me. I am doing fine. The problem that I broke my computer!! Took a while to get a new one. My situation is pretty much the same. The only bid change is I will be getting radiation therapy soon, hopefully during Christmas vacation. Will get 5 treatments during a two week period. Sounds like it will take a lot out of me, so don't plan on doing much during that time. My trip turned out to a disappointment. Didn't make boat trip. There was a festival going on which meant many blocked roads. I drove all around, but the main road to the harbor was blocked. Eventually found it on my way home when the main road opened. Turned out it would of been a 10 minute drive from where I was staying. Did go to the festival though. It was pretty cool. The cabin I stayed in was real nice. Never booked a cabin before, so was not sure what to expect. Anyway, good to be back on SR. Really missed you guys. Again, thanks for staying in touch. Nice to know I was not forgotten, John Great to have you back. |
my biggest concern is the numbness in my feet. Makes it tougher to walk and even drive. The other day I was driving and could feel the peddles. Better today. John |
I’m glad to see you posting again John—sorry to hear about the numbness, but good news it is a bit better today. How’s your appetite been? If you could manage to put on a few pounds that might be both fun to do and helpful for your system ;). What’s you favorite food and what do you cook the best? I really like to slow braise various meats in my Dutch Oven—most favorite is chuck roast. I also make a mean pot of beans . . . |

I do love cooking and eating! ;). My husband makes amazing pizza and other standard Italian dishes and I remember thinking “he’s a keeper” after a particularly good Chicken Marsala. I’m really glad to hear you are gaining—so important after chemo. Please eat a few thousand calories on my behalf this week if you don’t mind—I’ve already had my quota and have to surrender to calorie counting before holiday season really gets started. . . :truce |
What you up to John? I'm listening to jazz radio, and trying to persuade myself to do the dishes. Can't find it in me. :) Not much happening in my garden, how about yours? |
Welcome, Olivia |
Got some bad news today. The cancer seems to be growing back. If it keeps up, I'll have go back go the iv's I ways getting before. Really don't want to go through that again. It was real tough, spending whole days in the hospital. Not sure what I will do if that has to happen. Meanwhile, I'm feeling lousy with all t side effects. This is barely living. Might go to a movie next week for a distraction. Not happy today. John |
John, I'm really sorry to hear this. Try to stay positive and keep doing what you're doing to take care of yourself. Going to a movie sounds like a good idea. |
Oh John, I'm so sorry 😔. Completely understandable that the thought of having those treatments again would have you feeling down. You've been so positive but it's been a long journey and must be very difficult. Prayers for you that it doesn't come to that. I hope you'll lean on us as I'm sure you mentioned you don't have much of a support system. |
Oh, John. Love and hugs to you. |
I'm so sorry John. One day at a time. And, be kind to yourself during those days. ❤️ |
I'm sorry John :( Thats a real blow...but you've beaten it this far...gotta keep going, right? :) D |
Sending you hug and good wishes—this is a setback, but I have confidence you will find your best way forward— You are a strong man and have had so much resilience through all this. Finding a distraction, or several, is a good idea to rest your mind and attention for awhile. The uncertainty of the next steps is maybe as tiring, or more tiring than your physical symptom, I would think. We’re here and rooting for you John— |
We are here, John. I’m sorry about the news, it’s disheartening after all you’ve been through. Time for that self love and distraction as you ponder and weigh options. Big hugs, 🤓♥️ |

I'm glad you're feeling more positive. And, of course, you'll keep fighting. :) |
Just like sobriety, one foot in front of the other and keep going!:grouphug: |
You got this! |
