Doing good

I have been doing real good, been tired as hell, but that's the norm. I don't know if I mentioned this in the last post, but, I'M A NONSMOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Chantix worked. I have not had a cig since November 1st. that's 28 days....woohoo!!!! I'm so glad I'm not a slave to those dam things any longer. I am breathing alot easier now, no mucus in my throat and wake up alot easier. It's great. The lady has not smoked in a month and half. We both are doing great. Thanks to Chantix. I'm still taking it, figured I would take it for another month, just in case, my lady as well.

Thanksgiving was excellent. Had one little problem though, get this crap. My lady baked the pumpkin pies Wed night, before Thanksgiving, they turned out perfect. I worked. Well, Thanksgiving day rolls around, my lady comes to wake me up at noon saying the oven ain't working. She went to preheat it for the bird and nothing, she was almost in tears. I get up, check the breakers and everything looked good. Crap, how we gonna cook the bird? I hoped Walmart was open, went to Walmart and picked up a roaster oven for it, on sale to boot....LOL. So, that's how we cooked the bird. It turned out real good. We had a great Thanksgiving this year.

I start some new Chemo drugs next week. It is going to take them 5-6 hours to give them to me, then I have to wear a pump home and it will pump the remaining drugs into me over the next 48 hours. I hope these work as well as the last drugs did.

I have been working from home and I hate it. On the days I do not work, I avoid the basement like the plague. It feels like I am working when I'm down here now. But, Oh well. I am very thankful my job is supporting me.

Took my dog to the vet today, he has a very bad ear infection. He was falling down and loosing his balance, my lady thought that he was having a stroke. Well come to find out it's a very bad ear infection that he has had for a long time. We got medicine for him, I hope it works, my poor dog. I love him very much. I hate to see him like this. Gave him a bath at the vet too, he really liked that. I could tell when we got home, he was in a lot better mood. I hope the medicine we got for him works. The vet said it will, so all we have to do is wait.

Other than that, it's been the same around here. I still pray to the lord everyday for the strength to beat this beast inside of me. Thank all of you that read this for your support and my family and friends. I could not do this alone.

NEVER GIVE UP!!!!!!!!   NEVER SURRENDER!!!!!!!!!!

Been Awhile

Ok, I know. It has been awhile since my last post. Alot has happened since then as well.

I got my CT scan on the 5th and the results. The results were good. No change. The cancer did not shrink, but, it did not grow either, which is good. The doc is changing my chemo drugs. I go in next on the 3rd. This time it is going to take them 5-6 hours to give me the drugs and then I have to wear a pump home for the next 48 hours for it to pump chemo drugs in. That's gonna suck. But, if it kills the cancer, oh yeah.

I have not had a cigarette since November 1st. It's been 2 weeks now. I still think about smoking, but, I think it is safe to say I'm done with it. I am breathing alot easier now, and the mucus I had in my throat is now almost gone. It feels good. I am so glad I am not a slave to those dam things any longer. I am never going to even touch one again. Period.

My taste buds have been acting up bad. It seems I can not eat anything without it tasting bad. It is strange, because, one day something will taste bad, then the next it wont. I don't know what the hell is going on. I am getting scared to eat. Been feeling kinda nauseous the past couple days, I have not hurled, but it feels like I have had too a couple times. Not sure what that is. If it keeps up, I'll let the doc know on the 3rd.

We still have the dam kids. It was kinda funny though a couple days ago. The bitch mom asked my lady what we were doing for Thanksgiving, my lady told her. Making a big turkey with all the trimmings and watching Christmas movies. That's what we do every year. My lady didn't ask the bitch what she was doing, or invite her. She is not welcome. It sounded like the bitch wanted and invite, it didn't happen. We both do not want her here ruining our Holiday. Screw her.

We picked up our turkey today. I can't wait for dinner on the 22nd. Been listening to Christmas music in the car. 2 radio stations here have started playing Holiday music 24x7. I like that. I have already heard the barking dogs, now I just gotta hear the 12 Pains Of Christmas and I will be happy. I loved hearing those barking dogs......LOL.

I'm in pretty good spirits. I wish I had the time to go up north, but I really don't right now. I probably could and work from up there for a few days, but, think I will stay put down here. I call my mother on a daily basis. I wish I lived closer to my parents. But, oh well. It could be worse I guess. I could still be in TX or FLA. I miss my family.
