Weekend Update - 4/1/16

Well, I had my “COLON BLOW II” procedure. It was indeed the “full monty” and it was glorious. The doctor cauterized all the remaining lesions in my bowel he could. The good news is that now we “watch and wait” and do regular blood tests now that the doctors have done all they can do via the back door. And now that everything from the chest down has been dealt with as much as possible, it is now time to move on and examine my body from the neck up. This process begins this coming week. Indeed, more will be revealed. Hopefully not much if anything. As to how I am doing…. I am very grateful for my friends and the ongoing humor with which we look at the world. It has been very therapeutic for me to turn off the “illness” and just be able to laugh. My thanks to you all. This week is another “is it a fart or not” week. Therefore I am trying to be almost always within 15 seconds a toilet. I am also washing a lot of extra laundry. A special thank you to my transportation captain. I did find out, once again, I really have no business trying to drive after certain procedures have been done. The nurse was not lying. And now I return to the bathroom yet again………….. and I am so grateful I am here and able to do so. Once again … in closing, the reality of my financial situation continues to be what it is…. not good. I am asking all to give what you can and to remember that no amount is to small. Every little bit helps. I am living month to month, and without the support I have received I would not still be living in my home. It is still amazing to me how much all of my treatments are costing. A big “THANK YOU” to all who have shared their experience, strength, hope, time and resources. Your time and gifts are, as always, greatly appreciated and needed. ***Please note that the 12/3/15 post in my blog is one which I encourage you to share freely.*** Please read and share my story. www.gofundme.com/j55wek
