So gentlemen today begins my walk down to the end of the road. Have spent this past weekend until now in the hospital.
My doctors have come to the conclusion there is nothing more that they can do for me so now it’s home for Hospice Care.
We will never get ahead of this cancer and it is spreading. They have now found it in my lower back and leg bones along with it now in my liver. My internal health is too poor right now to accept the use of chemo with the immunization drugs. One wont work without the other and the chemo would do me in right now. Right now I am up and about, running short of breath and low energy. Eating everything I want. They have me taking Morphine for my breathing, pain and stamina. It’s working!
My wife and I have come to terms with everything and our kids have been made aware of everything as well. The hard one to tell will be the granddaughter, she knows I’m sick but not how sick.
Hell of a thing just turning 66 last week plus we just celebrated our 42nd anniversary (married on my birthday as well).
This has been a tough road to start. Neither of us ever figured on checking out this early?
I guess the funeral arrangements will be set, nothing fancy. Cremation to ground and an obit.
Don’t know how long I’m going to be around and of course they can’t tell at this point. Could be a week, a month? but I hope it’s going to just be a quiet night to go to sleep.
I’ll be checking in, might even do some shooting yet as I can. I know I’ll be eating and drinking some of my favorites. Cracked the wife up making the statement about packing my favorite sandwich to go and how Im going to miss it.
I guess by keeping a good sense of humor along with my wheezing has helped with the insanity of all this.
I can’t speak more highly of the staff here at the Cancer Center they have been the greatest.
I will post as long as I can and show the Mrs how to log in to tag my final day.
But again at this point I want to say,,,,a Hey guys it’s been great!
