So I got home after 10 days. Down 50 pounds. Have a machine and feeding tube into my um part lower than yer stomach.
I have tinnitus so bad from chemo that I can't hear women. I swear. And most music sounds way off. I'm in a torture chamber until it goes away, and then they do it once more.
Waiting for a homecare nurse to come and hook me up and teach us how to use the pump, I have boxes full of brown stuff that has protein and other nutrients. Yum.
And I am going to have too much time on my hands, with nothing to do.
I was hoping music. Oh well, anyone have a sound card with 4 connections they don't understand running on XP?
Or want to discuss..never mind. I'll put Gravol, Morphine, and other yummy stuff in the tube about 10 pm and hope for a nights sleep.
Later.

John,
I have no way of even having a glimpse of what you're going through, and honestly, I don't want to.
All I can say is that I send you my best wishes and thoughts to get better as quickly as possible.
Gary
I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Thx Gary. They insist I'm going to forget about all this in 6 mos when I'm back to 'normal'. At the moment if I had to do it again..well..that would be a very tough decision. Even here where it's 'free'.

Thanks to all the best wishes. I will travel as soon as I'm better, I'm more convince about the fact I have all this cash tied up in a 5 bedroom house I don't need, and all the places I wanted to go have never happened.
You wait long enough, and the government just takes their share, and I end up scattered to the 4 corners of the wind, my travel never happening. So, I've got some planning to do.

I've been through that with the wife. She had high dose chemo with stem cell rescue. Three weeks in the hospital getting chemo high enough that it totally destroyed all of her blood cells. Then they give her stem cells back and hope they grow new blood. She was not at all cognitive for 3 weeks. She got through the other side and is well today. You will be too. Take it a day at a time.

Freedom of choice.
Do not quote Scripture to me.
It's rude and insulting.
Preach on the street corner or elsewhere.
And DO NOT send me religious PM's. And by the way, I know all the stuff you posted and the references, I just have made up my mind.
I can quote you more shocking stuff in your own Bible but I won't stoop that low as to try and derail your personal beliefs.
And the well wishes are warmly received.

John, we know you're sick. We know it's no fun. But that's still no excuse to be a jerk about it. Someone here is trying to wish you well in his own way. Reading your response to him revulsed me. Hope you get better, in health AND attitude.

John,
I've seen some of your replies to people being 'religious' to you, but I hadn't suspected that you actually felt that way. Please forgive me if I've been one of those people in the past, I will attempt not to do it again, but also please forgive me if, in the future, I forget and I do send you a message that has my beliefs in God in it, it will not be intentional.
That aside, I still wish you a very speedy recovery, and one not bogged down by the things that you don't feel are appropriate for you.
Gary

John, I understand where you're coming from and applaud your views, the use of scriptures and preaching can be a pain.
You and Don are two amazing guys and I wish you both the inner strength you need to master these situations. Stick to yer guns..
Chris

Well John they might have screwed up your hearing for a bit, made you sicker than a dog, given you food that, I don't know what but you've still got plenty of fight left in you. That good, real good.
Plan that trip, it's beautiful out there, plenty to see and do, taste,smell, feel, Just don't cop a feel, cause they'll put you in the "Hoose Gow" If you get a chance to visit North Carolina, stop in for a visit. We've got great BBQ down here. I'll even show you how to make pottery. Maybe you can show me how to play an instrument. Plan for a good future, make it happen. Wyndham

I get a Watchtower magazine every time I'm out of the house. I have no idea who is doing it.
There was a Pentecostal Prayer meeting on the edge of my driveway when I came home from the hospital. My neighbour of 20 years told my wife that I was given cancer by God.
My Mother started a 200 person 'prayer' chain.
I am very religious, and believe deeply in God.
I expressed an opinion on my freedom of religion. There should be none here. It's divisive, and has never, in the history of man, been solved.
I am growing weary of people shoving everything in my face. I get alternative therapies, via 'friends' who don't believe in conventional medicine. Drink this juice and forget chemo. The same guy believes vaccines are poison. I guess he wasn't around like I during the polio years when every summer fever sent your parents into a tizzy.
I make my choices. It's hard to understand how this seems to upset people from south of me, where they are supposed to believe in freedom of religion. I have one, I don't need yours, nor your interpretation of one, thank you just the same.
Gather in a circle and sing Kum by Yah, or however it goes. On a beach at sunset.
Be warned, I can't hear it...

You know, John, you truly have a way of cutting through the crap, and I'm glad you did.
Thank you.
