Hospice. Oh MY!

I am now a member of Hospice. Nice little club except it means that one is going to expire soon. Unfortunately, we don't know what soon is; could be two weeks or six months. Anyhow, it's a good program and will help me and the family a lot since I'm unable to walk anymore and my symptoms are increasingly worse. I'm amazed at the number of people willing to help out and that have contacted me or the family. It's a wonderful outpouring and I really, really appreciate it.

Hospice has certain limitations but mostly everything that happens is a good thing. Overall I am generally a little worse: as I mentioned before, I'm unable to walk and am dizzy all of the time. I have officially quit taking chemo-I can't stand that stuff! So, we'll see what happens next. It was ruining my feet and making it impossible to walk; hopefully things will get easier now. One may get out of Hospice just by opting to do so.

I have included a picture of me sitting in the living room with all of my blankets waiting for SOMETHING to turn up good on TV!

Everybody including my stenographer has been so helpful and caring...I have received lots of cards and support letters from well-wishers and they really give one something to live for. I am going to expire soon, but let's hope it's not REAL soon...now I'm quite tired and on the recommendation of my stenographer I'm going to end this post.

Chemo Schmemo

I had my second chemo treatment this past Monday and it's really knocked me on my ass; maybe the worst to date. I've already fallen twice and have a hard time getting back up. But life goes on and I'm finally at the point where I need to decide whether I'm going to continue with this chemo stuff or what. I have a CT Scan on Saturday the 9th and then a doctor's appointment to review the CT's findings on Monday the 11th, and then I'll have to make my decision depending on whether the chemo is making any difference in the cancer.

Michael and Annie are working hard on their wedding plans and dropped in last weekend from NYC. My sister Beverly, her husband, Ted, and son, Bob were also here for a quick visit (Bev & Ted from WI and Bob from MI). Quite a busy but wonderful time-it was great to see everyone-see the picture of the whole family at Casa "Church."

I'm still feeling lousy and seriously considering quitting the chemo, but we'll see-I need to talk to my oncologist first.


Lucky for me, I still have great friends (see Linda giving me a much needed/appreciated foot rub).
