Wow, so that all happens really fast. Bought it yesterday, delivered and setup today. Other than that it was an uneventful day. It was a little warmer but still chilly for San Diego, so I spent the bulk of the day inside. Isabella seems to love the new mattress. She isn’t even fussed when I […]

A much needed weekend
I pushed my luck a bit on the barrier and it was a mistake. It was not a horrible catastrophe, but it was a bit of a mess. Last night would have been the 3 day point, but I thought I could make it til morning. I was wrong, and woke up about 6 AM […]
Third treatment – Day 3, Pump turn in
Today’s highlight was the turning in of the infusion pump and freedom from the box for another 10 days. The treatment went well so far and other than being tired, I still feel fine. The cold sensitivity continues, and it doesn’t help that we are in a San Diego cold snap ( high temperature today […]
Third treatment – Day 2
Long day today. The steroid that they give me during the treatment must have had some extra oomph this time. I woke up at 4AM and wasn’t tired so I made breakfast and got started working from home around 5AM. I worked that way for about 4 hours, then showered and headed in for a […]
Third treatment – Day 1
Today was day 1 of the third treatment. It pretty much went the same as the other treatments. I arrived for my 8AM appointment and was taken to the treatment area pretty quickly. Once there I chose the same chair I have been using from the beginning and the nurse started my process. Since this […]
A little dark humor to season the day
The highlight of today was an appointment with my surgeon. To understand this story I need to give you a little back story for context. On Jan. 5 I went under the knife for what we thought would be a laparoscopic procedure to remove the tumor that is creating a blockage in my transverse large […]
Chew your food kids
Today went pretty smooth. The nurse visited and we discussed discharging me from the home care after next weeks visit. I haven’t really needed her other than for an occasional question about caring for aggrieved skin near my stoma site. Tomorrow I see the surgeon for a follow up. I am hoping to get some […]
Lazy Sunday
So not much to say about today. I am at moment not at the Beth Hart concert that I had hoped to attend when I bought the tickets last December, but that is OK. The risk of getting sick from being in a large crowd of people is just too high. I am hopeful that […]
Successful Saturday
I accomplished most of my Saturday goals today. First I cleared space in the garage for my new Home Gym and moved my dumb bells from my bed room to the garage. Then I spent about an hour assembling my new weight bench and workout mat. Finally when that was all done, I set the […]
End of a good but busy week.
Today came at just the right time. I worked from home the whole day which really helped keep my energy levels manageable. I still had several meetings and many phone calls, but the work is progressing and it is good work, so that is nice in itself. By the end of the day I was […]
