Welcome to the new look
Wave Without A Shore
It’s a work in progress but everything should work now
Knee treatment #2.
Wonderful deal last Wednesday---after suffering the pains of hell with my knee, which ever and anon, while sitting or sleeping, would send a wave of fire to the brain, I decided what the hey, Jane has this really good surgeon who did two hip replacements on an...
We have some new members inbound….
Well, let's see. The AC got fixed. Jane and I have both had more doctor visits, all good so far, I have to have a couple of laser fixes on my lens implants this next month, and I have been regaining some physical strength---I am now able to life the water pitcher to...
Survived the heat wave—109 is kind of like a blast furnace. The pond is a mess, but the fish are fine…
Making progress on the book finally. Not as if we haven't been trying, but a year and all that surgery and anaesthetic has kind of a scrambling effect, and getting back up to speed, and getting my hands typing again is a biggie! Thank you for the offer of a hand...
What’s been going on with my hands…
...is a known side effect of the type of chemotherapy I was on last year. It's called peripheral neuropathy and affects hands and feet. Symptoms very from numbness to tingling, hypersensitivity to cold, swelling, pain, prickling, and some impairment of motor function....
Enjoying the springlike (but chilly) weather…and can report some improvement…
..in my hands. At times there is pain as well as tingling. DOesn't bother me too much with my typing, but lack of accurate sensation (eg, if extracting a small pill from a bottle in days past, I couldn't tell how many pills I had in my fingers, but I could tell that I...
Jane and I are doing fine. And starting to stir forth with immunity.
Ordinarily I hate shopping, but the fact I'm now immunized is glorious FREEDOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!! to go pick out my own stuff at the grocery, see new things to try, etc. Jane is still 'percolating' from her shot, but she was able to join me in a foray to the pond...
As the brain-fog lifts and energy returns, I attack the stack of 6000+ e-mails from 2020.
I am clear-headed and gathering energy, Jane ditto. I had a computer bite the dust---or disk---this morning and have not freaked. I have been banned from FB (well, restricted) for discussing solid state drives. But, oh, well, it's a day. [Apparently it triggered a...
Got my second shot.
This one is a doozy---not too bad, if you want to hibernate like a bear for 3 days. And maybe a little worse if you have neuropathy from chemotherapy. My hands and feet reacted somewhat painfully, but that was ok, it only lasted while I was too sleepy to function. All...
Weather—
We're ok here. And just this hour got word that Jane is out of surgery and will be home today. We didn't get too badly hit by the weather, but my second vaccination had to be postponed because of the weather delaying planes---as in, they didn't want to ship during the...
All clear—my regular oncology doc shoved me out the door…
...until May, saying all the bloodwork looked good; and my GI doc set me up for a year from January. So we're doing great. I'm still having finger and foot pain from the chemo, but the doc handed me something that might help. We'll see. It may go away over time. At...
Managed to get vaccination #1, and #2 is scheduled the evening before Jane’s next hip replacement.
It was a little fraught with confusion--=nobody expected the 7:00 time to be PM---but it was. They had it moving pretty fast, and I exited with a card giving the batch number, etc. It was Moderna. And yesterday the Gov lowered the age for the next batch, and Jane will...
Tested clean.
The follow-up to the last colonoscopy (3 in the last 365 days, not to mention abdominal surgery) reports the latest biopsy is clear. No problem. Jane and I are, yes, happy! I've been so often in that clinic this year I'm about to demand a brass plaque.Not to mention...
