  • Checking In

    Unless you are feeling Billy Joel’ish, than I am also Checking Out Spent a month wearing a heart monitor. It was not too bad until I got to the 2nd pack of sticky pads which were apparently different because I started breaking out in itchy hives! Luckily I only needed them for three days. Very…

  • No wine or Cheese or Meat

    Two Truths and a lie* Well, It’s been two months and now I am starting to get pissed off. I still have pain all the time. Sometimes badish, sometimes it is okayish. But I was really hoping to try the no pain thing. It is my liver. On the good days it feels like a…

  • Checking in

    Six Weeks since Surgery I have decided that I am in fact the slowest healer on the planet! Still quite tender in all the places that were cut both inside and outside. I had a couple of rather long stitches come popping out from where the troublesome surgical drain was and now that seems to…

My every three weeks bloodwork in the last year or so has been slowly but surely dropping my red blood cell count, and honestly one does need redblood cells! So august was let’s figure it out month (we didn’t really) but instead we found a…

  • HA!

    I have been a new kind of sick the last couple of months. Now considering all the types of sick I have already been through I find this impressive. But for some reason last week by body was like – hey – enough of this – let’s start working mostly correctly now! Sadly it coincides…

  • I force myself

    to talk These days because it feels like I just keep saying the same thing over and over again. I have some extra medical issues going on which I think is probably an explanation for why I feel so defeated and blah. Today is Monday and I had/am having the worse chemo recovery that I…

  • Stuff

    And Nonsense Remember when I use to write everyday? Nah, me neither. Looking forward to warm weather for more than three days in a row. Everything just seems nicer when you can sit outside with a cup of tea. I do most of my reading on my iPad mini which is quite old and has…
