More Updates

I haven’t written in almost a month, so it’s time for some updates.

Cancer - September 15 was the next surgery date. That was when they were going to put the medi-port in. But they couldn’t get that in. It was getting kinked up in my veins. So it meant another procedure, this time by the radiologist. That was scheduled for September 29. And it was done, painfully, as I wasn’t put to sleep with that one. Instead, I was given a lot of drugs that helped. And it was a bit painful. But it needed to be done since I was starting chemo on Thursday. L was with me for both of these. The chemo wasn’t near as bad as I thought. I was hooked up to 3 different anti-nausea medicines, and 2 types of drugs, that lasted for about 3 hours. And it knocked me out. I was so exhausted afterwards. I have a bunch of drugs that I need to take now for it, and so far they are helping me. The only side effect I’m really having is the exhaustion. Total exhaustion. All I want to do is sleep. So we’ll see how tomorrow will be.

Football – Well, we went to Nebraska two weeks ago. But before I left, I got two e-mails – one from Football Boy and one from K. Both of them expressing their who-knows-what about me. And honestly, both of them pissed me off. They haven’t spoken to me in a year – why should I care what they say/think now? And why would they think I would just forget their treatment of me for the past year? I’m not sure what I should do about them right now, but I can’t deal with it at the moment. I do miss hanging out with Football Boy, though. But I don’t think things will ever be the same again.

Life – Now I need to get my life back. I have to find a way to get past this exhaustion and get things done again. I need to get back into working out, and eating better, and taking care of my things. So hopefully I can start getting back on track.
