Ein Herzliches Willkommen

Here is a blog I've been writing., it's been so long in the making, I hope it's worth all the waiting.................

I find that more and more time passes between post. Something to be expected really, but I wish wasn't so. Therefore I humbly apologize, as I know your all on the edge of your seat, daily, waiting and praying for a new post!

Lets see.....I was last on about starting my chemo pills and radiation with the IV about to start. Yes. Well yesterday was in fact my 5th IV dose and it's not getting any easier I can tell you that.

Here's The Good News: (i know, I can't stop nicking lyrics!) I only have 1 more IV to go, next week. Then, so I'm told, I will be on holiday for 5-6 weeks with no radiation or chemo! Then they will take more test and determine if they want to go straight into surgery or another round of chemo & radiation. Me, I'm hoping to awaken from this nightmare and find it is all a bad, yes very bad dream.

Of late I had a chest port catheter inserted just over a week ago. An out patient procedure that was done, in the nick of time, for me to rush out of the operating room to Ashy's graduation! Then a quick dash back for a dose of radiation.

The next 3 days I found myself in hospital due to a fever of 104f! Not much fun until the Deloted kicked in - then it was nothing but a party! And some new Weller bootlegs thanks to my good mate Carl in Lincolnshire, UK (who has supplied your humble narrator with some of my most beloved disks). During my stay they found out that my newly inserted chest port was malfunctioning and that it would need replacing, so another 30 hours of fasting and a new port was installed.

A lot, I mean a boat load of things are taking place at the moment. My gaf is like a bee hive with a new swarm every 5 minutes. Thank god my Mum is here to help out. Poor thing. She has spent most of her vacation baby sitting the kids and myself. Including a 12 hour ER visit!

ShellB got to take Ashy to see The Offspring at Irvine Meadows. VIP AAA passes included courtesy of the band and best friend Connie (we love you Constance! - sorry I was unable to attend). So now at least with the kids out of school, Ashlin graduating and my chemo & radiation about to go on break for a few weeks, It looks like there is some potential for things to slow down and, hopefully, get back to some sort of normalcy. We'll see.

I've changed & added some new tunes so be sure to have your speakers on otherwise you'll miss some good ones. I hope to locate my copy of LB and the Dirty Girls doing Everybody's Got Something To Hide Accept For Me And My Monkey!
