I am already starting to regret the alliteration for the post titles. Today was mostly a normal work Monday.  It started with a visit from the nurse (well, technically it started with a meeting that was interrupted by the visit from the nurse) where my vitals and all are still good.  I have been maintaining […]

Today was a typical lazy Sunday. I woke up good an early (7AM) and did a little cleaning, then headed to Peet’s Coffee again around noon for another cappuccino and some reading.  When I got home, I turned on the sports ball game and did some work. I don’t expect much to change before Wednesday […]

Today was pretty close to a normal day.  I started the morning changing out the appliance. This one lasted 4 days, which I knew was stretching my luck, but looking ahead to the next week it was advantageous changing it on Saturday since that will place the next change at Tuesday, allowing me to not […]

The highlight of today was my blood work.  This was the first check since my chemotherapy started and I must say that I was a little bit nervous going in.  I have not experience any obvious side effects, so I was concerned that instead I would have some hidden reaction. The good news was that […]

Today was another pretty good day.  I felt strong all day and it being my third day with the same appliance, I am feeling more confident that my problems of last weekend may be behind me. I checked out the samples I received from Coloplast and they look pretty good.  I don’t think I will […]

Today was a good day.  I drove Frank and Liz to that airport and for the most part traffic was light.  It was bittersweet sending them off since I had started to grow accustomed to having them around, but I do like having my house to myself (and Isabella). I went into work and generally […]

Today I woke up with a single appliance left in reserve after changing out again last night.  I found a really good video online that suggested some things that I had not tried before that I am trying, mainly one where I rotated the square barrier 45 degrees to apply in as a diamond which […]

I was hoping for a visit from the nurse today, but after not hearing from her by 11AM, I made a call.  Talking with her we arranged for her to come tomorrow morning and to bring some backup supplies, which along with the Amazon order I expect tomorrow should alleviate that stress. I noticed the […]

Other than the stress about my low supplies, today went well.  I did end up burning through another apparatus when the adhesive on the one I installed in the middle of the night lost hold. I tried for awhile to augment it with tape before it gave out, but ultimately that is only going to […]

Today was for the most part good.  I woke unexpectedly early to find that my apparatus had become detached from my in the night.  It was the night of the third day, so I was reaching the end of life for that one, but still, not how one wants to wake at 3AM.  I took […]
