Floss

HY NOW?

Well its not enough that I have Stage 4 Cancer my hair fell out after 20 radiation treatments and it has caused other health issues,, that I have a huge hole in my leg and now a 3 ft rod with 3 screws in it...and if I try too stay up doing things...which I can do I can prepare most of my meals but we are taking turns doing meals my sis and I and trying to navigate the medical system,,,Home Nurses calling all odd hours...Physical therapists who don't show up etc...MY poor Floss seems to be on her last leg. Literally she cant walk and even with help she is unable to stand...

We got her in that little compact car Somehow my sis managed and we did a walk in visit to the Vet...IT took 3 hrs total to get her in and out...He x-rayed the hips he said its more arthritis than ACL..

He gave her a steroid injection  and she starts Prednisone tomorrow...But she has not offered to try to stand...or walk...she is incontinent

we have a diaper on her but I don't want her living that way so In the next couple of Days I have a very tough decision...to make...

How can someone's life completely implode in just a few weeks??

I just want a change for the better in some small way!!

AND Annie is showing signs of diabetes, I think my sis is over feeding She had none of these symptoms prior to now...

Why me why now? There is a limit to what one woman can bear.

She was 14 On July 4th...

HEN TO GET BUSY

Well the van got towed it is a holiday weekend so I don't expect anything this week but just getting it to the garage is a big deal...Ive been trying to do more of my own food prep and I made dinner for us both Peppers n Rice.. I need to relearn new ways of moving around in my home so if I do beat this I can resume some normal...I wish be to be able to do that..
I have my MRI recheck Dec 3 So that should tell me if Its growing or retreating!! If its growing I may move to CO so I can do Hospice or they have assisted end of life there...It just depends

Right now I feel pretty good Im able to walk much better using a walker of course and I hope in time to graduate to a rolliator which is more sporty and has a storage pouch for carrying things I had ordered it before I found out about the cancer.

I spent some time on my screen porch yesterday watching birds on the feeders That was nice and I could see most of my flowers Zinnia, Lantana, and Phlox and some peppers are coming on the Red Bell that was attacked by deer in the spring...So maybe I will get one in the end.

Sept I will be 69 in 27 days.

HAT HAPPENS NOW?

So guess who has stage 4 Metz non small cell Squamish carcinoma cancer?

I do!  found out 12 days ago after i had a seizure in my home on was Saturday the 8th and called 911 when I finally came around and  transported to my local hospital they did a cat scan and told me I had brain cancer and swelling.  They  transferred me to Lexington Med Center in Columbia. SC and I was admitted to  neurology surgical floor....and an MRI slowed I have Lung CA that has metz to Brain. Lymph. and my right femur...so all along my leg has a tumor that ate the bone away and this is why I cant walk...

So they put in a 24" long rod with 3 big screws so I can now walk a little.  I began Radiation  to my brain and hip 10 treatments did 5 already after 9 days I asked to be released my sis is here helping me and driving me to the remaining appts.  Then the plan is chemo in my town a...No idea how I will progress as its a crap shoot..
