I didn't write a blog yesterday because mysterious forces took over my blog sometime in the night and did their own thing.
I had to do some stuff with an Insurance situation and then I had to go down town to handle another situation. After handling those situations I was carried away to some place in Northern Indiana. I should say two places in Northern Indiana. I'm doing my best to try and keep up, but I still have little energy and my BS is still out of control most of the time. I don't know what they put in all those drugs, but one of them is not treating me very well. I feel like I'm in a fog most of the time, dizzy and not able to process thought very well.
I have been playing poker on Poker Stars for just a little over a year for fun, and have earned over five million dollars. Since going on chemo I have lost over $600,000.00. The most I ever lost before was maybe $100.000.00. I just don't do the right thing. Monday I was about to give myself Insulin and forgot to enter the number of units I was going to take. I put the needle in and realized I could not push the plunger down to inject the insulin. I ask you, how dumb is that.
I don't feel as bad today as I have been feeling, it's great having the kids home with all the activity that keeps on going. Wave runners and tubing yesterday. Riley, Cate, Darrin and Christine all performing for the crowd. Thanks also to Laura for letting us use her hide away. I won't tell anyone where you hide out. Unless the price is right. Thanks also to Christine and her family for the use of their facility. We all enjoyed ourselves.
Maura has pictures, but she has not put them on the blog at this time, maybe later.

Tom--
ReplyDeleteI don't know quite where to begin. I was shocked and worried at your news last week. Bob and I had just returned from a business trip to Japan and were dealing with a business issue of our own (our General Manager of 8 years quit for no apparent reason with no notice.) Between work and jet lag I've been thinking about you but had no time to write.
I thought about calling but decided you've probably intentionally set this up as your means of communication so here I am.
Your battle is absolutely amazing. I think back to Mom and Dad's stories about taking you to the doctor as a little'un and am in awe of how you've risen to the occasion. Life is a powerful motivator.
Bob and I are coming to Chicago for a family wedding over Labor Day and are trying to see if there is any way to include a detour to Fort Wayne. I'll keep you posted on that front.
Meanwhile, we have a quiet, peaceful place in the trees surrounded by mountains. We have bedrooms to spare, a gorgeous garden, a screened gazebo where you can hang out sans bugs, and wireless internet that extends pretty much everywhere on the property. If you want an escape just say the word.
I am sending you love and prayers and encouragement to keep up the good fight. Thanks for keeping us posted. Love, Jan
