Hey Sportsfans

This update is coming to you late, but you didn’t know that until now.

I was readmitted to the hospital last Wednesday, got 72 hours of Chemotherapy and was released Saturday morning.  I can’t figure it out, but I got to spend New Year’s Eve with friends and family, so that was good.

There’s been a lot of in and out and up and down lately. I’m grateful for every minute that I get to spend outside of the hospital and with my family.  But it takes a toll on an old man.  I like a good plan that I can stick to, but I’ve always found it fun and easy to roll with waves and take whatever comes – but this time around it really isn’t fun.  I spent a lot of mentally preparing myself to spend Christmas alone in a hospital bed. I was ready. The family had alternate plans (and I was going to finish Christmas shopping after Christmas because I didn’t really have time this year) Then I get thrown back into a normal Christmas and everyone’s plans needed to be rearranged and I needed to be fit in.  It was a adjustment.

The Doctor had told that next time I went in (after Christmas) I would be going in for the long haul.  So I when I went in last week I was prepared to stay until February.  Yet, 72 hours later I was back out, still scratching my bald head. New Year’s Eve was Christmas all over again – mentally.   I have no idea when I’ll be readmitted – when I get a fever I suppose, provided it happens this time around.  So I’m not even unpacking my bags.  I took my meds and my PC out but the rest of it stands ready because I have no idea what to expect or when to expect it.

This Thursday is still the big day for info about what comes next.  I really hope there are answers to be had or I’m going to feel like a sucker, building it up like this and coming back with no new info. Until then we go with the flow, eat up and watch hockey.
