| Me and Pa hanging out on the river |
Once again it has been a strange year off to a strange start. About a month or so ago I started having that pain in the middle of my abdomen again, right where my ribs come together at the bottom of my ribcage. It feels like someone driving a knife into my stomach. It hurts a LOT. I took a couple of oxycodone and it didn't even tough the pain. So I took some morphine and same deal, no relief. Then I decided to go to the emergency room, knowing that they would not be able to do anything except give me more painkillers and at least they could monitor me in the meantime. So off I went, drove myself to the ER and drove myself back home again about 4 hours later. Luckily it was only about 6 blocks away. Then I had a bunch of family come to stay with me because I couldn't drive anywhere due to all the morphine I was on. Gramma came for a week, then dad came and ended up coming back again for a total of about 3 weeks.

I ended up being admitted to the hospital for the pain. I was there for two nights and three days all the while running tests and MRI's of my head to see if there was a tumor there that might be causing my trouble. Those all checked out just fine. I did a barium swallow and it was fine until it got to my large intestine. Then they discovered a giant roadblock. I was severely constipated. The barium I had swallowed stayed in my system for three days because it had no where to go! Then they released me. I was so upset. How was I supposed to take care of this all by myself and didn't they care that I was full of shit, literally! If you're one of those TMI people you may not want to read this part. I got home and did a warm water enema which helped a little. I gave myself a break for a day and powered down two dulcolax tablets and low and behold things moved, a LOT! I can honestly say it was one of the biggest reliefs ever. My pain was so bad for so long I quite honestly thought I was going to die. The head pharmacist at the hospital gave me a very helpful piece of information and I stick to it religiously now because I never EVER want that to happen again....anytime I take anything that could cause constipation I take a Senna S to go with it. This so far has helped me immensely! I also found out that I cannot live on soft foods alone, like soup, smoothies and juice. My body really needs to have something solid to work on otherwise it forgets how to digest.

| Wow!!! |
I am now taking motility drugs to help with my body's digestive process and something called gabapentin for nerve pain. The little sac that holds all my liver and bile duct etc has nerve endings in it and due to the swelling from chemo and cancer etc it is what really starts hurting. Ever since I have been on the nerve pain pills (which don't leave me feeling woozy) my pain has been pretty much in the manageable category and that is a very good thing. For now I am still taking motility drugs and I am hoping that eventually my body will remember how to digest again and I may get to stop taking them.

| Digging for agates. |
It has been a busy, busy past couple of months in LauraLand. I am hoping things will settle down now and I can start planning some summer fun for my family and I. I got to get out and go agate hunting with my dad and brother and sister this past weekend and it was so nice to get out into the woods for a bit. However I was so tired hiking out that my dad had to carry my loot of agates. But we found quite a few and even some as big as my fist! One that looked like a crazy horn even.
Ever since I got out of the hospital every day is a little better than the last and my energy is starting to come back slowly. Sleep is still one of my favorite past times and I keep hearing that is ok because this is when your body is healing itself and I can use all of the healing I can get. Since I was in the hospital and laid up for a while I wasn't able to get an IV for a week or two and I can really feel the difference in energy levels. I just got one yesterday and am already starting to feel my cells jumping for joy!

I still miss my kitty like crazy and even find myself crying at the drop of a hat when I see something that reminds me of her or if I think about how her presence is missing in my home. I am happy though that she is in no more pain and discomfort and I just know that she is here with me all the time but it sure would be nice to pet her and snuggle up on the couch for a nap together. I miss her smell and her soft fuzzy fur. I even miss the icky stuff like cleaning up after her accidents and having to be home at certain times just to give her medications. I can't wait to see her again but I am in no hurry to get there just yet either. :)

Remember, we never, ever have a tomorrow. All we have is this moment today right now. And no matter how bad life is it can always and I mean always be worse. :)

ReplyDeleteThis is my first run across the Cancer Assassin blog. I like your approach, and this post was great to read. You are definitely dealing with A LOT of stuff, and doing so with courage, wit and a surprisingly upbeat spirit, even though that can be hard to maintain when you're feeling really low. I've been studying cancer blogs lately in search of answers to questions I have about cancer. I think all the cancer research that has been done in the last several decades has somehow missed the mark, but I can't quite figure out what the oversight is. Considering that we still don't have a cure or even truly effective treatments for the sickest patients, something is clearly wrong with the entire enterprise and I intend to find out what. Keep on blogging! People need to keep hearing from you. -- Sherman Morrison
ReplyDeleteProps to anyone who is battling and persevering. It's amazing the hope that people give themselves. I respect anyone who has been diagnosed with cancer and pushes through.

I decided to share this because i am so glad today and happy that i am alive to see another new day and not just that but also to share the goodnews of how i survived a deadly stage 4 cholangiocarsinoma (bile duct cancer). I was told by my oncologist that she had just 6 months left to live and i was so scared to lose my wife. I was lucky to contact Dr Mrs Aleta who i told all about it and she is the nicest person i have spoken to. She recommended a herbal medicine for her which she took that cured her in less than a month. Well for more info about the medicine and cancer treatment simply reach her on aletedwin@gmail.com she can help you too. Contact her for any form of cancer too.
