Tumor

I didn't have the numbness until I started taking the drugs. If I do very little they are numb. If I do a lot with hands they feel like hitting the funny bone. They aren't white with poor blood flow. Rained a lot yesterday so I stayed busy and got them tingling pretty good. Had a hard time getting to sleep. (Check the 410 reloading thread today's entry.)

Tumor visit tomorrow 2 pm MRI, 3:30 pm visit with doctor. My son will drive me, pick up my brother along the way. Afterwards we'll go to Ollies, got a buy lined up for LP primers and 16 ga shotshells. Gibson Donuts and a bread store that has real knot bread. Clean the car soon, rain at noon.

Looks like a busy day, on the good side, you get to spend it with your son and your brother.

Good check up today. The hole in my head is still there. See the doctor again in 3 months.

It was a great day to be with family. Made 8 stops and bought little. Visited with sister-in-law at their retirement center during 5 pm rush hour. The store was out of knot bread so I put $117 worth of food back in coolers.

The image was sent to my email, got to look at it a lot more. NO yellow stain in my head anywhere, that's great.

Visit at West clinic yesterday. All my regulars are on vacations so I saw a few new faces. Guess all is well since I wasn't kept or sent to ER. Start the chemo pills for another 2 weeks.

Great news DeepSouth.

Wife is sick and doesn't like the house above 62 degrees. Thought about buying a portable unit for the living room. Got our old 12,000 BTU window unit from our son. Got it cleaned and checked out. Ready to hang in window as soon as I can clear space in front of it. Don't know where that stuff will go. I'm worn out.

Got a heart doctor visit today. Need new parts for wife's oxygen machine. See if I can pick them up since I'll be close to the hospital. Need new cabin air filter for the car, may stop at walmart for one. Wish the one in the truck as easy to change, it's 12 years old, needs changing. After changing the heater core and filter I saw a video of how to cut a slot in the cabinet, wish I had seen it beforehand.

Second round of chemo pills ended Thursday night. My fingers are still numb but not as bad as while taking the pills.

First doctor visit after the congestive heart failure my heart was at 22%, below borderline for a pacemaker. I didn't want it and worked hard for 6 months getting it up to 48%. Lots of work and after 1 year it was up to 55%. The acid reflex as doctors called it, tumor, esophagus cancer, chemo infusions and having to care for my wife more this last visit showed my heart at 22% again. So the walking has started again. Since it's hot outdoors I walk stores pushing a shopping cart for an hour or more, may walk 2, sometimes 3 stores in a day.
Someone said, get a treadmill, save going to stores. They don't last very long outdoors, even under a carport. I've had 3 free ones in the past 7 years.

West clinic visit went well, doctor liked results of blood test. Round 3 of chemo pills starts again for 2 weeks. CT with visit on 7/29.
