I know it has been a while since I have written. To be honest, I have been busy and there is not much exciting to report anymore. On the cancer side, I am still in

Hello all. I thought I would send out an update while most of you are cooped up in isolation. Maybe it will help you pass the time. By the way, here is the link of

I am back from all my travelling so here is what happened. The last week of January was spent getting ready for my trip. Prior to that though, I was taking it easy around the

Not much has happened in the last few weeks and that is a good thing. My blood counts have been stable and slowly improving though I have not seen the numbers in a little while.

Happy New Year everyone. Hope you had a great holiday break. I, on the other hand, did not have the best break. As you know, I was spending my holiday in Ottawa, mostly cooped up

The last week was an interesting one, to say the least. Not the news I was hoping for which put a bit of a damper on the holidays. Here is a summary of my last

Before I get into my updates for the past few weeks, I am going to do some soliciting. As you now may be aware, I am having another comedy night to raise money for the

I need to start this post on a sad note. On Wednesday, Sept 18, at 12:06 AM, Erin Grasmeyer passed away. If you recall from a few of my past posts, she was my neighbour

It was a week with a few highlights. Here are the details. On Monday Sept. 2, though it was a holiday, I still needed to head to the hospital to change my IV bag. It

Home but not. I have spent the week in the hospital fighting this infection. Here is how it went. To continue from Monday, Aug 19, I spent the rest of the afternoon with MA hooked

We made it back home but it was a bittersweet return. Not what I was expecting but at least I can drink the water. Here are the details. To start this post, we spent our

This week seemed to go by much faster than the last one. Maybe it was because it was a shortened week due the holiday Monday or maybe because there was more going on. Either way,

Another slow week at the Lodge. I can’t wait to go home. It will happen soon enough. Last Sunday, July 28 was spent sleeping mostly. Both MA and I slept until after 12:00 PM. I

Once again, I need to apologize for my lateness in posting. It has been a few tough weeks but it was worth it! So, after my last post, I made it to the fishing derby

I am writing this week in the beautiful courtyard of the PM Lodge. Too bad, the week has not gone as beautifully as this place. More on that later. Let’s catch you up on last

Another low energy week has slowed down my blog writing. Sorry about that. Here are the latest updates. Friday, June 21 (Dad’s birthday, miss you Dad) was the last day of chemo. I finished off

Sunday, June 9, was a relaxing day. I was saving my energy as I had a league hockey game that night which did not go as well as the last game. We were missing a

Sorry that it is taking longer to provide updates. With all the travelling I have been doing and very little to update that is good news, I have not been motivated to write in some

I have been struggling to write this week because of all the challenges that came up. I am hoping that this is the low point in my fight and that I can start to look

In case you have not realized, I like to write detailed posts. If you are looking for bullet points or Coles Notes, you will not find them here. Sit back, grab a coffee and enjoy.
