Careful !

Up early, My Honey dressed my feet, Got my clothes and helped me out of bed.   Then it was off to the Bathroom with the walker, did my duties and when I turn around " I FELL" .  I went over Backwards and landed on the end of my Spine and butt and hit my right shoulder.    Scared my poor Honey as I had to lay there for a while to get my bearing and get up,   I just missed the edge of the Bathtub from hitting my head,  I was "Blessed" !!

.

.

So it's Ice Packs and heat packs on the spine,   Monday we could not go to Blood work and Chemo due to 3 - 4 feet of Snow and the County closed the Roads.

My appoint was changed to Monday at 7:30 AM and I will be there !

.

. 

Streets are Private here so the 4 employees each have a job to do, Streets, Sidewalks, Snow Banks, and Driveways and they do an awesome job and we don't pay for it !

Food and Staying Busy

Well, so far the Cancer has taken about 32 pounds away from me !  I need this weight to Fight back when I start my Chemo,  Those pounds are important they say from those I talk to !    I do have quite a bit of Pain in my side around my Liver !  Some times on the 1 -10 scale it goes way up to 8 or 9 !  I found a Heat source that I lay on my side and it helps !
