This Afternoon (Ugh!)

I wonder if I could trade places with this lizard. He looks healthy.

I am weary. I feel weak. We went to the doctor this morning, I’ve had my cigar, and now I have to get ready for our daily trip to JFK Hospital. Yesterday we went all the way out there, only to be told the radiology machine wasn’t working, we might as well go home. I do hope it’s working today.

Chemotherapy continues, and then there’ll be a spot of immunotherapy (whatever that is), and after that, probably some surgery. Not exactly anything to look forward to.

I thank all of you who have offered up prayers on our behalf. Patty’s as worn-out as I am: she does all the driving, my car having given up the ghost.

Maybe tomorrow I can write up Tampon Tim’s so-called pheasant-shooting adventure.

And Utah’s scheme for guaranteed college admissions for all and sundry.That ought to be a sure-fire winner.

Pray for our country, too.

I think I’ll have some fruit gels.

  1. I’m sorry you are having so much aggravation. When my second husband was going through this stuff, he was treated once with an improperly functioning of the radiation
    machine- though they didn’t admit it until they had already done the treatment. Seems the machine overdid it. I don’t think that helped him one bit.

  2. I continue praying for you and Patty. I know the strain of the frustration must be almost as bad as the physical strain.

  3. I’m sorry I told you about that. It is highly unlikely that the same thing could happen to you, and with all the prayers, I’m sure the Lord has you right in HIS sight all through.

  4. 😢🙏 It’s so hard to remember in times like this, but God is in control of all of this and everything else. Jesus said He would always be with us till the end of time. You are in safe hands.

  5. Fruit gels sound good. I received a good report from my oncologist today! PSA 0.0 and all cancer in my back no longer visible on the PET Scan – wow, that sound really good. Sure wish I could get off the chemo pills – I will still have to wait and see.
