Easy Friday

Today I got up, had breakfast and started my day. Like most other days. I spoke with my assistant this morning. Processed a couple invoices and placed a phone order with another vendor. Easy right?

Lunch came and I heated up my meal, sat at the table and ate. I got a small Instacart order delivered in, put that away. Normal new way of life.

The cat’s only came around when I was walking around the kitchen. I wish they were more needy. Chip climbed on me this morning. I love that. I grab him and he gives me a loving look somewhere between I want to kill you and you’re the light of my life.

I spoke with one of my nurses about the Proton radiation therapy and how the only place offering it was in downtown Orlando. That’s not going to happen. She said she understood my reservations about going there 5x/week for 6 weeks. That’s too dang far. 2 hours each way plus the time itself for the treatment. No thanks. The local place is 15-20 mins for Photon Radiation. I’m good. All the proton places don’t open up til 2026 around here. Oh well. I discussed increasing my steroid back to a higher dosage. She told Dr P and that is approved. I will start the same dose as last week tomorrow. Hopefully that will give some relief to these symptoms, unsteadiness and slight headache. Nothing too bad, but definitely noticeable.

I have another MRI Brain scheduled tomorrow, Saturday at 11am. I did my pre-registration for it. All set to go. Tuesday afternoon, I have a CT simulation for the radiation. This will likely have the mask fitting as well. It’s all going to be starting soon. My chemo meds will deliver from a specialty Pharmacy Tuesday as well. I requested a refill on my steroid as I’m getting low. That should be available tomorrow for pick up through my local Pharmacy.

I saw an ad on social media for a site for helping cancer patients. wegotthis.org I made a registry. If you search for my registry you can help out easily. Search McLarty and Florida and I come right up. You can purchase Instacart giftcards or Uber giftcards. This helps me out so much and to the few that have helped I want to extend a huge thank you. It means so much to me. It takes my mind off the financial aspect. I’m not asking for money, just help with groceries. Thank you again to those who have helped with it.

I didn’t have any appointments today. Easy day. I did some chair exercises and ocular exercises. Chip, where are you? Come hang with Daddy. HE IS SO ANNOYING LEAVING ME ALONE! But I love that short king. He recently started what we call twerking/dominance. He’s been going after this giant stuffed cat in his room. It’s gross, but I know it is natural for them. He’s still my baby, even at 4 years old. Innocence lost, I suppose. Why!? Don’t be that guy.

Thank you for stopping by
