I couldn't sleep last night, so rather than toss and turn and spoil Lisa's sleep, I got up at about 4 AM and began to attempt to write something. While not a total loss of effort, most of it was 'wasted days and wasted night,' if ya get my drift. Maybe my mind is wound up in this diagnosis or maybe... Sign in to see full entry.

I was awakened by a monster clap of thunder this morning. Normally I would lay in bed and enjoy the sounds of the fury of the storm, but I promised to help a photographer friend who lost a close friend in an accident three days back. She used to work for me at the Crystal Motor Speedway before... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm having another post-surgical issue. Nothing serious, but something that is going to make me 'retire' for the evening. I don't feel well, and sitting up is aggravating it. If it continues to be a problem, I will call my surgeon tomorrow. Yes, I know it is a Saturday, but (good) surgeons are... Sign in to see full entry.
It was hotter than Hades yesterday, but the night temps dropped into the upper sixties, making for a perfect night to sleep. We are supposed to hit 100 to 104, depending on who you listen to. The way I look at it, three digits in the temperature is ugly no matter what it is. We had a good sleep and... Sign in to see full entry.

I would complain that it is an actual 103 here right now, but I see these temps are nationwide. I/we spent the morning at the hospital, attempting to figure out what we are going to do with this chemo stuff. Lisa told them to figure it out and get back to us. I just nodded my head. My blood work... Sign in to see full entry.

I am feeling better today than I felt in several weeks, and that's saying something. I even woke up at 7 this morning and made toast, bacon, and eggs for my wife. It's been a while since I've done that. It's *only* 76 right now but is headed to roughly 97 today. We have friends in Pheonix who can... Sign in to see full entry.

I think I saw where Lisa explained about my chemo treatments. The girl can be a very gentle and loving woman, but when you irritate her-DUCK! The doctors wanted me to get more chemo today, but when they told us they had not found a new mixture that wasn't going to leave me violently ill, she flat... Sign in to see full entry.

This is going to be a short entry with hopes of coming back in the afternoon. I have someone coming over to take a look at my car to see what is making it run poorly. I suspect I may have gotten some 'wet' gas. I had to go in this morning for blood work, but at this point, they have decided to wait... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm four days out from my last chemo infusion and I feel almost normal. I'll find out in the morning what they have planned for this week. We had a cooler day here today with highs only in the upper 80s. There's nothing like being 'chemo sick' in the mid to upper 90 temps. lol, We toughed it out and... Sign in to see full entry.

It's about 6:30 Saturday evening and I am finally feeling better... a little anyway. As I said before, I am thankful my wife has been taking care of me like the top-notch nurse she always was. We talked about that today while sitting outside in the shade. I asked what she thought of me back in 1999... Sign in to see full entry.
