TimR said:Yeah, I think I used up a couple of lives though. I was to start round two of the chemo stuff this coming Wednesday. But pain to the exhaust pipe (actually more tail bone) when trying to sleep resulted in a CT scan with start of chemo depending on what that shows. Probably will loose hair off everything not just legs, toes and knuckles. The wife will be happy as I've got a bushy goatee going right now. Chemo will go for a month. 4 hour infusion with a constant drip pump at 2 week intervals. Once that is done then Humpty Dumpty gets put back together again. I am so ready for that BTW.
I think I'm the most covid tested guy in Okanogan county. Passed 5 of them now with more to come. Talking the swab up the nose test not the temperature test you get when entering a clinic. But UW is the place to get the big things done. Great staff.
I've been on a couple of real short ides n the 900 as I'm limited to lifting a whopping 10 pounds. The 900 is easier to take off the side stand. Speaking of pounds if I manage to loose 3 more I will have lost everything gained the last 25 years. Stuff fits now that hasn't fit in years. Not a bad thing. But I do feel a bit skinny after loosing dang near 50 pounds. I do run out of energy quickly so stuff gets done a little at a time. With the chemo it will be worse I understand.
I'll be around a bit more cause I replaced the tower bought in 2011. It went south after a down load for windows 10. It had a corrupted file that would not let me run a repair disk.
Very much looking forward to climbing on he C14 to meet with COG friends and family. Stay safe, Tim

Sending them your way Tim. Tell us if you need anything.Sailor Rich said:Positive waves Moriarty positive waves. Keep enjoying guys.
Yes Richard....I just now fell sorta back to normal.. I get a heart monitor for a week then try a reduced juice. with time off between doses.
As for any thing to do with medical weed. I have friends who use the stuff and oils for pain relief. One had stage 4 pancreatic cancer and he survived.
My hang up legal not, I was a 9 year DARE officer and I just can't find it in my bones to try it at my age. I might change my mind later but for now no pot parties.![]()
Hang tough.Been an interesting last few days. On the 28th had a heart Dr's appointment and ended up in Wenathee Hospital. After test, they decided I need a by pass done. They were going to do this on Monday but Lab work said not yet. So in stead of making me wait at the hospital for labs to improve they sent me home. Can't do much more here at home than I would have been doing at the hospital. At least I can get the bikes ready for the winters rest.
I don't have a problem with this because it's just one more thing to get done before the goal of being put back together is reached. The heart is working well just needs more blood to pump.
I must admit I am tired of neddles, pokes and prods. Tired of being woke up at 530 in the morning for a blood draw. Both elbows are bruised. I was happy when they decided they could draw a majority of blood from my port. Thanks for all the support. Tim
They were going to do stint/s and found what I needed was by pass.Tim - are you having actual bypass or a roto rooter with stents? One or more?
Donnie is almost like a mother hen. But in a good way.Keep us in the loop and good luck to you.I know Doni will take good care of you!
PS: After surgery, don't chase the nurses too far.
