The last week was pretty rough on Rick, and so I am glad the chemo is coming to an end. It hurts to see him dealing with the crap that comes with chemo. But, there is a light at the end of the tunnel.... ONE MORE to go!<div><br></div><div>Doc is happy with the blood test results! This news is very encouraging. PSA is down to 21!!!! </div><div><br></div><div>I think the hardest part about this journey is the loss of friends. People I cherished, and enjoyed have dropped off the radar. It is something I am really trying to understand, but no matter how much I think about them it still hurts!!!! This is really a time in life that friendship should mean more because the support of a friend helps weather the rough seas. </div><div><br></div><div>Friends that have struck around, know that your check-ins mean the world to me!!! And to Rick!!!! Rick needs his friends just as much as I do. Helps us to cope, which helps us deal with what life is dealing right now. </div><div><br></div><div>I look forward to the days of near normalcy again. (If that will ever be a thing). Days that cancer is not in the forefront. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div>mrscravitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-49767253790497876452021-10-17T13:45:00.006-07:002021-10-17T13:48:17.456-07:00Bucket list or a Dream come true?<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fantastic Weekend!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvwAMQDdrYk4unFpbFynCuM0ic8-ucE1jeBsqgaNn-vg1lX9lQBJPIRNpWlrAFsp_bRk3uJ_eMEgd8Xsl7PrExGj7KQE8Vd65B9nXqWxgmv2kGeU0xmvK1jFwIok1YBlOn9kIHxCxHCcJR/s2048/244765523_314912290398462_6931924867225535839_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvwAMQDdrYk4unFpbFynCuM0ic8-ucE1jeBsqgaNn-vg1lX9lQBJPIRNpWlrAFsp_bRk3uJ_eMEgd8Xsl7PrExGj7KQE8Vd65B9nXqWxgmv2kGeU0xmvK1jFwIok1YBlOn9kIHxCxHCcJR/s320/244765523_314912290398462_6931924867225535839_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All ready to go ride with the big kids!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL2hkFNFk-NxU1pPwTLZYZxXUFmu0pxz9pN3l-IxXJUkjZXe2OvZuGNGLo_RdZsvdJrPNaE9bQY6W-sFtzOmpCHhKEPn_PRqGc7Hpe9LOZ7vkn7EYYe1K1a3QkhrPGEo7UB-3FhZsk4uGh/s2048/245084649_629982671361656_1342877423872893488_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL2hkFNFk-NxU1pPwTLZYZxXUFmu0pxz9pN3l-IxXJUkjZXe2OvZuGNGLo_RdZsvdJrPNaE9bQY6W-sFtzOmpCHhKEPn_PRqGc7Hpe9LOZ7vkn7EYYe1K1a3QkhrPGEo7UB-3FhZsk4uGh/s320/245084649_629982671361656_1342877423872893488_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Riding in front of all the big kids so they get use to us and not freak out. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I don't have a bucket list per
say, but I do have Dreams that I hope will come true one day.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I use to dream about riding
horses in a competition. I think I was like 5 then. I learned you had to own a
horse first. Santa Clause never did bring me a horse. I really doubted him from then on. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">As I grew older I wanted to ride
horses with the other girls who had horses. I learned that girls who owned
horses were.....well they just were......If you did not have a horse, you were not one of them, even if they owned a half a dozen horses. They did not like to share. I get it now, and totally understand why that is. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">A few years later life happened.
Marriage and a family. Then I became a horse owner one day in my late
50's! WOW! After a lot of trial and error I accepted that this was also not the path for me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Later on, a couple of Mini Ponies
came into my life. Boy did those two rock my world. Time has creeped on and I
have one that I have been concentrating my time on. CRICKET! That boy IS My
WORLD! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">We have worked very hard to get
to where we are today I have to give credit to my two Grandsons who have helped
in this endeavor. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">This weekend was the weekend!
Cricket and I got to ride with other gals and their horses! It didn't matter if
were were the smallest. His big horse attitude more than makes up for any size
he is lacking. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have to keep in mind that
Cricket IS ONLY 4 years old so he does have a lot of learning yet to do, but he
was a trooper for the weekend! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I do believe that Cricket did
some growing up during this time too. It was so good for him, and even better
for me. I now feel confident enough to take a drive with him around the neighborhood. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwfsKtM-y4Glwmk-YEdTHFhtTR7dYTKwqmc8cyMgcd1e0jyzUIVQdvNCi3-3CylsGb7JuSND6ViCePf6s6hyw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am attempting to upload a video here and not sure that it will succeed. </div><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I don't know how long the trail
ride was. I was hoping it was a mile. I think it was 5 miles and I know Cricket
just knew it was 10 miles! We went up and down little hills, in a harvested
wheat field, and trotted half way up a very large hill. He was a huffing and a
puffing! I felt so bad for him that I got out of the cart half way up the hill and
walked the rest of the way up the hill with him. The hill was so steep I was
really worried about coming down it. But I found out that if I kept one of
my cart wheels in the tumble weeds it had a bit of breaking power and did not
push him down the hill and so we walked very nicely down that long steep hill! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">At the turn around spot on the
trail ride Cricket was tired of waiting for everyone to get going back, he
decided to just lay down. I think he had the intention of rolling but the cart
prevented that. Once he was down he did not quite know how to get out of his
predicament! So I grabbed his head and helped him to his feet. (Thank you Linda
for that advise) Then it is always good to have friends that take pictures
first before attempting to help out. LOL I had him up before any help was
needed though. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjErw8xscppYCRGREzdKr4Z9xN0JJ45plubC9OzvnLm15n6KeEVY8o7ne9SlGrQUEhjnAbQBIVpqP9yYxXXIGMAWVQiKh-1Wi6fGM3eCaUyQ7eZqvx_YEAerGKsAc-TRFadSworBznUekI_/s2001/245363123_421667379616364_2267664723906982852_n+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2001" data-original-width="1125" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjErw8xscppYCRGREzdKr4Z9xN0JJ45plubC9OzvnLm15n6KeEVY8o7ne9SlGrQUEhjnAbQBIVpqP9yYxXXIGMAWVQiKh-1Wi6fGM3eCaUyQ7eZqvx_YEAerGKsAc-TRFadSworBznUekI_/s320/245363123_421667379616364_2267664723906982852_n+%25281%2529.jpg" width="180" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">When your horse laughs at you....PRICELESS!</div><div style="text-align: center;">Neither of us were hurt and Cricket came thru this unscathed. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; text-align: left;">We were horse tired when we got
back to camp. Cricket was all jacked up. He ran with the big kids and he
thought he was a big kid now. I had to feed him in the trailer, because he kept
talking and yelling at anyone that walked by. I think he grew up a little bit
this weekend. I know my horizons have expanded quite a bit.</span></div><p></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">This morning when I went out to
feed I was sure that he would be a bit gimpy. Muscle sore? NOTHING! And here I am
having a hard time getting up and down out of my chair. LOL <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I look forward to a lot more
rides with this young buck, and we shall grow together in our rides. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Very hard to take pictures when you drive. So I did not get to many. It was a lot of fun, and by next year, Cricket and I will be a pro!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvO3lLDjwEa8MezU8EkL56B6L0eGUg9kTtTT0H6R1DxxFiBXvPpFjOhp6U2czDekcF6vOrRlX47PDPlHA485v73LlGkU6R5o51eqIsOcmgoj35kVc8dkb4MYZ2TgdKWNeDWbuNrwSJyA8/s2048/244997234_565558561171610_7218960114393683266_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRvO3lLDjwEa8MezU8EkL56B6L0eGUg9kTtTT0H6R1DxxFiBXvPpFjOhp6U2czDekcF6vOrRlX47PDPlHA485v73LlGkU6R5o51eqIsOcmgoj35kVc8dkb4MYZ2TgdKWNeDWbuNrwSJyA8/s320/244997234_565558561171610_7218960114393683266_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxr7nu7xFdlv8_KRkhwHjUjHNLhRzbRDLdig2fGXLevA3gR0DNhqt0kCN-cqf7PIV9gdLSYD4KaWEAghXtRqauLR2FulFxqgyFBcqwYJv8Sqj3mF9fVYXjGt0GsVl3dv-EJZfWHGZF26L/s2048/245165324_926170631317858_7423699458556401023_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBxr7nu7xFdlv8_KRkhwHjUjHNLhRzbRDLdig2fGXLevA3gR0DNhqt0kCN-cqf7PIV9gdLSYD4KaWEAghXtRqauLR2FulFxqgyFBcqwYJv8Sqj3mF9fVYXjGt0GsVl3dv-EJZfWHGZF26L/s320/245165324_926170631317858_7423699458556401023_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqlDej3UiCUO5yZpoCJpf7r2gvhfRIxbbC5kJ_ZGwBdUYSOnSQYq37dj9Ey8-MhBcc36gL1IbUJBuRSZaXO1ydstuOtTWQ409r8RdZ93aTZXgadB5EFxW64CLThIhf0u8m-xoEJ6j1XReM/s2048/245921485_1016549029130979_4964308143346308064_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqlDej3UiCUO5yZpoCJpf7r2gvhfRIxbbC5kJ_ZGwBdUYSOnSQYq37dj9Ey8-MhBcc36gL1IbUJBuRSZaXO1ydstuOtTWQ409r8RdZ93aTZXgadB5EFxW64CLThIhf0u8m-xoEJ6j1XReM/s320/245921485_1016549029130979_4964308143346308064_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span><p></p>

One that is driving me insane. Isn't a job suppose to be fun, challenging and exciting? Ummm....This one drags me down so far I have a hard time pulling myself up. It is not the paperwork, I love the "JOB" itself, but some people just don't know how to be good employers.</p><p style="text-align: center;">But that is ok, I am looking and praying, and I know God will hear me. </p><p style="text-align: center;">I get home, and do my chores. Seems like I have so many chores these days. Never use to bother me and I looked forward to them, but my back issues hurt so bad at times, it brings me down to my knees. RELIEF is at my knees. Bent over with tears falling on the ground! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Oh doctors won't do any thing. Been down that road. they just want to drug you up and send you home with exercises that makes my back hurt worse. I have degenerated disks. I need them fixed. I am to active! </p><p style="text-align: center;">Then we go to town to do a bit of grocery shopping as I needed a few things. Well a few things ended up being $149.00 in just a few things. Gosh things have gotten so expensive! </p><p style="text-align: center;">On the way home we stop at TACO BELL for dinner. I know....it is not really dinner, but at least it makes a turd. To begin with, I should of known things would go to shit in a hand basket soon. </p><p style="text-align: center;">There was a sign on the door to use the OTHER DOOR pointing to the one that faces the highway. Umm how odd is that. So we go in and we place an order. I state I wanted a Steak Power bowl salad and a small nachos. The order taker immediate jumps on that wagon and said they don't have nachos. (I understand they are not called that but I could not read the menu so I just said forget it.) and just ordered the power bowl. "Is this to go or eat in?" she asked. "I said we will eat it here."</p><p style="text-align: center;">Rick places his order.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Our order was out right quick and so we sit down to eat. I hand Rick his order, and I pull out my delicious smelling steak salad. Ummmm...no fork to eat with. How Odd I thought. So I go up to the counter....</p><p style="text-align: center;">While I watch workers run around, and am being ignored, I wave my hand to catch the eye of one of the employees:</p><p style="text-align: center;">"Mam'am....."</p><p style="text-align: center;">She walks over to the counter and says, "Yes?"</p><p style="text-align: center;">I said: "Can I get a Fork Please?"</p><p style="text-align: center;">She looks at me funny and says, "A fork?"

There is a little stopper on it, and since it was not known what position that stopper should be in, the suppository did not get inserted "ALL" the way in. But he figured out that it would melt and all would be fine.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Since he was in the kitchen, in his birthday suit, he figured that he would rub some CBD ointment on his hip that was aching pretty bad. Leaning on the counter kind of stretched the hip joint allowing for a bit of relief as he rubbed the ointment onto his hip area.</p><p style="text-align: center;">All of a sudden something triggered the mother of all sneezes. Out flew the suppository. It hits the floor and slides across the room. Just as he turns around to see where it went, in swooped his dog and ate up the suppository!</p><p style="text-align: center;">Now dogs have iron stomachs and a nose for ass. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Not knowing really what to do he went off to work anyway.</p><p style="text-align: center;">Upon arrival of coming home, the dog met him at the door all happy like!</p><p style="text-align: center;">His PEZ dispenser had arrived! </p><p style="text-align: center;">LOL</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /> </p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>mrscravitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-78555123077824903592021-09-12T06:00:00.001-07:002021-09-12T06:00:00.180-07:00Just because..............<p> I do not think like you. Nor have the same ideas as you. Walk the same line as you do. Does that make me a bad person? Does that make me not a good friend? Can't friends have different thoughts? Different ideas? SURE THEY CAN and that is what makes friendships work. It really is a two way street. </p><p>I don't know. But I do know that if we all thought alike, and all did the very same things, and did not have our own minds to think for ourselves, we would all be zombies. </p><p>I just got unfriended on FB today because I made a comment to her post that was not in line with her own thoughts. I got unfriended by her. WOW! </p><p>We really were not FRIEND FRIENDS anyway, just casual acquaintance's really. </p><p>But someone that only wants to be friends if you only think one way....Their way....just does not agree with me.</p><p>Just think of the conversations you wouldn't have, because you would only think alike. Why talk to each other if you don't have different ideas? </p><p>I enjoy conversations, and other ideas people might have. I firmly believe you can agree to disagree and still be friends. </p><p>FB has become very hateful territory these days. Do this! Do That! Mandate this! Mandate that! I don't dare make any comments on my FB page, EVEN THOUGH people can just scroll on by and ignore it, but they don't. And then the keyboard warriors are at it in full swing. I have deleted innocent posts I have posted because people just go so nasty in the comments. </p><p>So I comment on my blog! A place where I feel safe because so far no one comments on the blog. TEEHEE.....I feel safe. I feel like I am invisible.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>mrscravitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-66666815233482713472021-09-11T18:20:00.003-07:002021-09-11T18:20:33.154-07:00Who needs Hair, anyway?<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3sPOcdtVTzLTqNOmgRgqezFxqMaaxCRvMbSwcJHj124mIwhVDhghFg0FjJhaaa0crDs3qCMgOVrLhWg4FNVatYhGVdNy8sOtPpugfXgYHadpQoHxYFjfBVJXtTInTlIEWICAxR8owiNj0/s474/trump+hat.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="474" data-original-width="474" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3sPOcdtVTzLTqNOmgRgqezFxqMaaxCRvMbSwcJHj124mIwhVDhghFg0FjJhaaa0crDs3qCMgOVrLhWg4FNVatYhGVdNy8sOtPpugfXgYHadpQoHxYFjfBVJXtTInTlIEWICAxR8owiNj0/s320/trump+hat.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Averta-Regular, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.42px;"><i><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Some cultures believe that hair is an extension of your spirit or soul...literally connecting you to the earth with its downward growth. Think of it as your hair aura. When hair is cut, the spirit is thought to live on inside the strands, giving the hair protective powers and strength. Want proof? According to one story, expert Native American trackers were recruited by the U.S. army as scouts during the Vietnam War. After receiving standard crew cuts, they were unable to perform in the field, claiming to have lost their abilities. If you think of each hair—individually connected to the scalp like an antenna—as bringing in sensory information from your environment, the tale makes all kinds of sense. Cultures that practice this belief use hair in amulets, rain charms, and medicinal treatments. Ever heard of keeping a lock of baby hair for good luck? Pretty powerful stuff. </span></i></span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #343434; font-family: Averta-Regular, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.42px;">On Tuesday September 7th, 2021 15 days after first Chemo treatment....hair starts to fall out. Didn't think it would happen, but it is. Today is 4th day. We are taking bets as to when it will all be gone. 1 day. 2 days. 3 or 4 days? Every day seems like he looses half of what he has. This would put it 2 days out from now.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #343434; font-family: Averta-Regular, sans-serif; font-size: 19px; letter-spacing: 0.42px;">Rick feels pretty good other than his hair falling out and looking for hats that are really cool to wear. His wardrobe leaves a lot to be desired. We figure he will be hairless for the next 5-6 months. So that really puts him thru the winter time with no insulation on his head.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #343434; font-family: Averta-Regular, sans-serif; font-size: 19px;

His liver enzymes are good. His kidney function has improved. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Calcium was a little low so he is to take an extra one for yesterday. She said that the body only absorbs 600mg of calcium at a time. The pills I got are 600mg with Vit D in them. So taking two at once is not conducive to the body absorbing it. So taking one in the morning and one at night is the best way to take calcium. </p><p style="text-align: center;">AND...

Ivermectin has done a 180 reversal and is now poisonous to humans. I am not
quite sure how that happens but it also happened with Chlorine Dioxide as it
miraculously turned into bleach according to the media. It too had been used
for MANY decades safely to heal all manner of disease all over the world. If
you recall, the ultra safe Hydroxi also ran afoul this strange phenomena as
well. All so strange until you tie the loose ends together........<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the same event of the rona and only seem to have become "dangerous"
after many MANY thousands of people were cured of the rona with said substances
administered by many THOUSANDS of Doctors and hospitals all over the world.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

truthful news that is), I ran across a piece that was talking about Japan
refusing to use a specific vaccine because they found them quite contaminated
with substance that should not be in them, yet were. Now that, in and of
itself, is not newsworthy as the vaccines have been contaminated the entire
process as reported from one source to another. Rather, it was the conclusion
that he Japanese health ministers arrived at that stood out for me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Ozaki cited evidence</span></a> from African nations that have utilized
Ivermectin during the pandemic. He stated: “In Africa, if we compare countries
distributing Ivermectin once a year with countries who do not give Ivermectin…
they don’t give Ivermectin to prevent COVID but to prevent parasitic disease…
if we look at COVID numbers in countries that give Ivermectin, the number of
cases is 134.4/100,000 and the number of deaths is 2.2/100,000.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif;">The Tokyo Medical Association chairman compared statistics from

opinion, he believes that this shows a clear difference between the illness and
fatality rates amongst nations that use Ivermectin and those that do not: “I
believe the difference is clear. Of course one cannot conclude that Ivermectin

<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif;">About the effectiveness of Ivermectin in treating COVID patients,

was asked by the TV anchor when patients should take Ivermectin if diagnosed
with COVID-19. He replied: “The same day, I mean if you are infected today, you
take it today… It is a medication that should be given for mildly ill patients.
If you give it to hospital patients, it’s too late. This is also the case for
the majority of drugs… So you have to give Ivermectin. I am asking our Prime
Minister Suga to distribute this drug ‘made in Japan’ on a large scale in the
country.”<o:p></o:p></span></p>

today was Rick’s FIRST CHEMO treatment. They have been doing radiation on him
and there will be a total of ten of those treatments. Radiation (first round which is his leg thighs and arms) Will end on
August 31<sup>st</sup>. They will sneak some more radiation in later on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Radiation is a piece of cake!<p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">We
packed up this morning, to head to Chemo knowing that it was going to be an all
day thing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A soft cozy blanket, (A
little to warm for that one yet), a card game, Lap-Top computer (Robert sent to
his dad just for Chemo appts), Cell phone, neck Pillow, (very useful that one
was) Jesus Calling booklet, (God knows I really NEED THIS ONE), Gingersnaps. I
carried THREE BAGS in there! I know someone thought we were just moving in!
HAHA….<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini;"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">For
the Tea, I made ½ Ginger and ½ </span><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Chamomile</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Lavendar and put it in a thermos.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">YUMMMMY I must say! I am a bit surprised that
Rick even liked it too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">Come
to find out they have a huge snack bar! The only thing missing is the booze. We
don’t drink anyway, but as of late every once in awhile I would probably tip a
tote or two! So that will cut down on what I lug into the chemo sessions by two
bags! HAHA….</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">So we
(he) gets settled in and Megan, our (his) wonderful Nurse, says Let me get you
all hooked up and then I will go over the paperwork with you, as she sets this
2” packet of papers on the side table.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">She
explains that first there is the saline flush to make sure everything is hooked
up well and it all flows easily. Then comes the ZOLOF I think. Then there is
the Benadryl bag, an anti-nausea bag, and I am sure I am missing one
in-between. Each of those bags are about 20 minutes. Then we get to the REAL
DEAL!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Megan gowns up in hazmat gear, and
I am thinking that Rick and I will need to also, but then she explains since
she is the one that is hooking Rick up, that she needs to be protected in case
she spills because the Chemo is bad to get on your skin.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">Ummmmmm<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ok……A.N.D.…You are going to INJECT THIS
INTO A BODILY VEIN?!??!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I kept my
mouth shut!</span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">She
then goes on to explain everything in this packet from side effects to non side
effects. From effects after the first 48 hours to effects beyond the 48 hours.
From Constipation to Diarrhea! From Headaches to stomach aches. What symptoms
to watch out for and need to make a phone call to them, or not….when or if, you
need to go to the ER. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the while I am
really feeling more sick to my stomach than I should be.</span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">I
kept asking Rick how he is feeling and he said fine….When she hung the Benadryl
bag she said he might feel a bit tingly and woozy, (cause we all know BENADRYL
is a sleep aid!) LOL…</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">
NOTHING! I take two Benadryl capsules at bedtime to sleep and he got a big bag
of that shit, IN THE VEIN! But that is good. I think… LOL</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">Right
now, he and Cameron are up at the shop playing with the trike. I know he is
itching to ride, (me too) but until we find out how he is really going to do on
the chemo, which we really don’t know for a couple days or even a week for that
matter, then the trike is off limits to ride.</span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">It
has been a very long day, and my nights are even longer because I do not sleep
well. I have pinched nerves in my hips and my legs are on the verge of Charlie
horses 24/7! Not to bad during day when I am moving around, but stop and rest
for the night, and then they hit ya. So I do not get much sleep. I do go see a
back/bone/spine (whacha ma-call-it-doc) doctor on 8/23. Of course it is the
LAST DAY OF RICK’S Radiation so I won’t get to hear him ring the bell! </span><span face=""Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif" style="font-size: 14pt; mso-ascii-font-family: Cavolini; mso-bidi-font-family: Cavolini; mso-char-type: symbol-ext; mso-hansi-font-family: Cavolini; mso-symbol-font-family: "Segoe UI Emoji";">☹</span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">Rick
will have 6 chemo treatments 21 days apart which will last 4 months. I did ask
his Chemo doc today about the type of cancer that Rick had and for how long did
he think Rick had it. He said that Rick probably had the cancer in his prostate
for about a year, but then when it metastasized to his bones it went apeshit!
(he was a bit more professional and said moved quite rapidly). I asked him if
it was an aggressive cancer and he said yes. But he also said that with the
chemo therapies today, there are many types and they are approving like a 100
different kinds each month for the different types of cancers out there. There
is hope that Rick can get a handle on this. Doc said that he will live with
cancer the rest of his life, but he can have a good quality of life. So that eases
the worry a little bit…… (JUST A LITTLE BIT)……. Will have to see what God has
in store for us at this stage in our lives.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">I
found out that “Cancer” is a very lonely word! Lonely when you are first told
you have it, and lonely because when people find out you have it, they are scarce! Cancer is a lonely path for those traveling it, and those that are care givers. I took care of my mom when she had cancer and it was very hard. I am gaining more experience now, so maybe my path to follow in life when I retire is to be a friend to someone in need that is traveling this lonely path of "C.A.N.C.E.R."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">After
Megan hooked the chemo bag up, Rick told me to go grocery shopping. No sense in sitting there an watching the 1...2...3...1...2...3...4 drip drip drips of the IV bag. So I went
to Winco. I walked in with a mask on, (can’t breathe), and I saw a woman with
no mask on. I asked her if masks were required. She said nope, and if they were
she would have to hire out her shopping. She said God has a bigger plan, which
I know he does. I don’t know what started it, probably me, I said that today
was hubby first day of chemo.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">I
SPOKE THE WORDS OUT LOUD to another human! Reality just hit! The tears stung my
eyes! I felt foolish! She asked what his name was and if she could pray for
him. Between sobs I said that would be wonderful.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">This
woman was the most kindest and gentlest soul! She use to be a caregiver nurse
till her last patient whom passed away in Feb of this year was gone. She has grown very fond of him, just like a dad. It hit her
really really hard and she just can’t anymore. I get it. Hard not to get
attached, ya know! Sometimes our hearts break into to many small pieces that can not find their way back to be mended. Or it just takes a long time to mend. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">Anyway,
we exchanged names and phone numbers. This woman was an angel in
disguise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She said to call her any time.
She told me that If I needed someone to come sit with Rick, that she will be
here in a heart beat! If I have any questions to give her a call, because she
was a nurse to cancer patients! (What are the odds?) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knows, maybe I will take her up on that.</span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;"> I just might need a shoulder some time. Someone to just listen.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">When people step out of your life, there are others that step in to fill
that void. Each and every friend in our life has something different to bring
to the table of friendship. Each one has value. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">The
doctor could not stress enough that Rick’s immune system is going to be NIL!
ZERO! LOW! To LOWEST! He just won’t have one! So he has to be very careful
about being around anyone! That means Parker and Brady! And THAT JUST breaks
our hearts! They start school next week and so that is why distance will need
to be observed. Because we all know, school is where germs run rampant and come
home on unsuspecting school children! So until Rick gets his immune system up
and running again, we (HE) have to be very, very careful!</span><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini; font-size: 14pt;">First
Isolate because of Covid, Now Isolate because of cancer! DAMIT TO HELL!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">I wouldn't turn down any prayers if you feel the need to ask God for some help to send our way! I pray every day to give me strength to get to the next day, and for Rick to get well enough to enjoy retirement and we can go on a long awaited bike (Trike) trip! Yep, we are planning one for the summer of 2023.......Just travel and go where the road takes us. Stay as long as we want to, wherever we want to. </span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Cavolini;"><span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Oh yeah, we are also trying to sell the <a href="https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/5017591098" target="_blank"><b>HARLEY</b></a> (Click the Blue word HARLEY to go see the bike) that stands tall on two wheels.

What to do. When to do it. How much to do. I tried to take notes, but it just did not seem to work. Came home so confused.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">There are 5. One of them is an all day test. Every hour you have to give up part of your body fluids in one form or another. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">An important test is the BRCA1 test kit that will determine if Rick has the ugly deformed gene that causes hormone cancer. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The other tests are to test his body to see what vitamins, minerals and other things he is lacking or supplemental in. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I shall take my own advice, and go....</div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b><u>ONE STEP AT A TIME!</u></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We will git'er done. </div></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today <b><u>August 17th</u></b> we go back to Dr. Foss office and Rick will get a Lupron injection in the buttocks instead of the one in his stomach which really hurt bad. But it was an emergency shot at the time, to stop the production of Testosterone immediately! The Lupron shot will last for 3 months and won't be so painful this time.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Starting Wednesday, <b><u>August 18th</u></b> Rick will go for Radiation treatments at 5 PM each day of the week for 10 days. They only last about 15 minutes and I do not project any problems except maybe some fatigue. He is getting his upper arms and thighs radiated. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">His bones are quite brittle right now, the doctor said, due to the cancer in the them leaking all the calcium from the bones. He could break a bone very easily and so the radiation will help to put some strength back into them by getting some or most of the cancer out.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Fingers crossed this works because he does not follow doctors orders very well. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then on <b><u>August 23rd</u></b>. this coming Monday he will start Chemo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our schedule on Monday is quite busy:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">9:45AM arrive for labs</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">10:45AM: meeting with Dr. Hague</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">11:15AM: Start the Chemo which will last for 4 hours. Should be done about 4 PM.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Just in time to get to his Radiation appointment at 5 PM.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Initially Dr. Hague said that Chemo would be every three weeks for the next 8 months. I don't know if this has changed since it seems that things are changing weekly at this point. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dr. Hague said that Rick is strong right now, and he has every confidence that he will be able to tolerate this plan of attack on the cancer.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After this, our days are a mystery. As soon as it sorts itself out though, I will post an update.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh and our insurance company sent a notification that they are NOT APPROVING the NUELASTA that Dr. Hague wants to use to help Ricks body regenerate the good cells that the Chemo will kill.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The cost of Nuelasta is $3,000.00 to $7,000.00 per injection. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Side effects of Nuelasta can be quite severe. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Nuelasta would be a ONCE inject per Chemo round.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> Other drugs the insurance company does approve of is:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Neupogen, Udenyca, Granix, Fulphila, and Ziextenzo.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These do just about the same thing, yet cost way less, but you do have to take more than one injection.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So maybe the insurance company is doing Rick a favor. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We will see.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><br> <p></p>mrscravitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-60201790890225102112021-08-11T06:35:00.000-07:002021-08-26T06:46:39.675-07:00Strong yet weak...........<p> </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJo57A4H9QiSGKLWM8emiZAnOZ74zxN0i2QYnX1q_Fw0n32caq61F4Z5DI21Yn4XJHuaGDlbdgeTHoeFf9h_B2royjBB8drDaeTVzHolkd8R9qpX7TNMWmN93GKgJ6TVoSz_NK2q86bh1/s2048/236076741_266719288237237_4616078409047592370_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1357" data-original-width="2048" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLJo57A4H9QiSGKLWM8emiZAnOZ74zxN0i2QYnX1q_Fw0n32caq61F4Z5DI21Yn4XJHuaGDlbdgeTHoeFf9h_B2royjBB8drDaeTVzHolkd8R9qpX7TNMWmN93GKgJ6TVoSz_NK2q86bh1/s320/236076741_266719288237237_4616078409047592370_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I appear strong, yet on the inside I can crumble at any time!</div><div style="text-align: center;">The appointments.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The emotions.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The information.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The future!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Our calendar looks like a Bingo board. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am alone........</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I try to stay positive.

One time I remember going to her cute little apartment and she was showing me all the things she was sewing.

I got a job at the hospital as the property manager and we reconnected. It was a joy to go to work everyday and see her smiling face. When she wasn't smiling I did something goofy and would get a grin at least. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Work generally got in the way of having fun, as usual. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then quit the hospital as I wound up having some medical issues. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">They all worked out well for me.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then I heard that Billie had some medical issues too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then Covid hit and isolation took its toll. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> But we mostly communicated via text.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will miss Billie not being in this world of ours. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I will miss her very much!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbmpGr_htgBilERnlXXpUGpxafdnvV7Ihp0wpXejn-X9VyltrhL_qSdKQs294__AblfNZdKxOGTmeVwfU6Tfc0Sq9jqsVXUKd2ZO2O9QvreR1zbr8m312jHC6WYWqSa4zyX0YQ_3g5h3BV/s900/93481876_712406229587665_2909988197289164800_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbmpGr_htgBilERnlXXpUGpxafdnvV7Ihp0wpXejn-X9VyltrhL_qSdKQs294__AblfNZdKxOGTmeVwfU6Tfc0Sq9jqsVXUKd2ZO2O9QvreR1zbr8m312jHC6WYWqSa4zyX0YQ_3g5h3BV/s320/93481876_712406229587665_2909988197289164800_n.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj94mHVrHJBrwXPUX7xj4d7XR5oNDYiPnh7xRYPioejDU722Tp_KVlkKN24uamlyMzIC3B5XjckDEDhC00TSmrmbMAsy4-IPbr1h898aSys2FetI9vFYXOC4-6ocWF-OqnHvQBgOHDRU1ex/s1200/50870215_10212120428556869_8967591324035317760_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj94mHVrHJBrwXPUX7xj4d7XR5oNDYiPnh7xRYPioejDU722Tp_KVlkKN24uamlyMzIC3B5XjckDEDhC00TSmrmbMAsy4-IPbr1h898aSys2FetI9vFYXOC4-6ocWF-OqnHvQBgOHDRU1ex/s320/50870215_10212120428556869_8967591324035317760_n.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The above sums her up to a "T"</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Beautiful!

On Wednesday we met with Dr. Hague who is the doctor who will do Rick's Chemotherapy. He pulled up the photos of Rick's bone scan. The damn cancer has left the prostate and infiltrated damn near all his bones! The dark areas are cancer. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm_A_Sk_nOBFvk4l11yn27SXr_rNSOe7lJ7lG47VEj9o7YrXNB7REopmT45_cj12eyyoq7qvTJNQfWy4fkisPlzkO95lkAt5MYe6q3m8_STIqK5W4-09l4NrphvjLV0CsXPAhdbwYrLD7S/s1078/Bone+scan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1078" data-original-width="726" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhm_A_Sk_nOBFvk4l11yn27SXr_rNSOe7lJ7lG47VEj9o7YrXNB7REopmT45_cj12eyyoq7qvTJNQfWy4fkisPlzkO95lkAt5MYe6q3m8_STIqK5W4-09l4NrphvjLV0CsXPAhdbwYrLD7S/s320/Bone+scan.jpg" width="216" /></a></div><p>Dr. Hague did say that the Lupron shot Dr. Foss gave him was a good thing that stopped the spread of the rotten migrating cells. </p><p>Dr. Hague said that Rick has an aggressive form of Prostate Cancer and the cancer in his bones are cancer sells from the prostate. These cells ARE different than other cancer cells. He is very encouraged that Chemo will help to kill most of the cancer. He said, we will never get rid of ALL the cancer but it can be brought under control </p><p>He also recommended no radiation as that is for spot treated and since the cancer was so wide spread in his body it really would not do much good. </p><p>Before leaving his office they wanted to schedule a bone infusion to strengthen his bones as they are very weak and brittle at this point. Just stepping wrong could break a bone and they do not want this to happen. But they have to wait for approval from the insurance company first. </p><p>The chemo is 3-4 weeks out to begin treatments. Also a blood test was scheduled and before leaving the building we went to the lab and they took three good vials of blood from him.</p><p>On Thursday we went to see the radiologist. Dr. LaWenda. He has certificates a mile long that line his walls. Very impressive. He not only does radiation but also does supplement therapy as well.</p><p>He did recommend that Rick have radiation on his big bones, (he named them but that escapes me at this point). Then we talked about genetic testing for the BRCA1 Gene that causes cancer and is hormone driven. If Rick comes back positive for that then our boys will be at risk of getting prostate cancer and will be monitored throughout life. The test for them will be free of charge.</p><p>Then there is 4 other tests that will be done for supplement and mineral evaluation in Rick to see what is to low or too high on, and with supplements and diet which will be recommended according to his needs, will help with the cancer therapy he will be going thru. Of course the insurance does not pay for these tests. But we will have them done. </p><p>He is going to fight this with everything thing he has! And I will help him along the way. </p><p>I need to say a huge thank you to S.B. for the gift basket of blanket, neck pillow and other goodies, and the beautiful cards than made my eyes leak! Also the frozen food will come in so handy! You knew EXACTLY what we needed. I can not thank you enough.</p><p>We are still looking ahead. Actually Rick is going to sell his Suzuki which took his butt to Alaska and back, and still looks like new. Then we will be turning the Harley into a Three wheeler. (for obvious reasons). Riding clears the mind and brings peace to the soul!</p><p>Monday, the 9th at 2:30 PM we will be at Dr. LaWenda for a CT Scan to put in markers to begin the radiation. </p><p>I feel rather fortunate that Rick has some good doctors on his side. Here is Dr. LaWenda's BIO:</p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://biohackyourcancer.com/dr-brian-lawenda/" target="_blank">Dr. Lawenda</a></p></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote></blockquote><p>Prayers would be graciously accepted.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>mrscravitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-88365998016003590702021-07-24T18:55:00.006-07:002021-07-24T19:52:43.727-07:00Upside Down!<p> Life sure does have its up sides and its down sides. We are traveling a down side right now. </p><p>About 4 months ago, Hubby's hips started to hurt. Thought maybe they were out. We are getting old and things slip out of place every once in a while. So he went to a chiropractor. It did not seem to help. So with some encouragement I insisted he go see our family physician. Since Crohn's run in the family, and he was diagnosed with IBS several years back, we thought maybe the IBS turned into Crohn's since he also had some constipating factors that had recently developed. </p><p>I had also noticed about this time that he got up at night to go to the bathroom....ummmm.....never before has that happened. First it was once per night, then it was twice and now it like 2-3 times a night. </p><p>After a colonoscopy his doctor said "Well you have passed your exam and your colon looks really good. Do not need another one for 10 years now." Hubby said that he was still in pain and if maybe blood tests were in order.</p><p>It was almost as if he never even heard hubby as he said, that when a colonoscopy is done due to constipating factors that it usually always fixes it self. Call me in a couple days if you are still feeling poorly.</p><p>Well he was not just feeling poorly he was in quite a lot of pain! So when we got home, we got to talking and decided to make an appointment with a Urologist. The appointment was three weeks out. This is also when hubby informed me that he thought maybe his prostate was swollen. I then called a Urologist.</p><p>JULY 15th, 2021 General Exam Appointment</p><p>Appointment was at 11:30 am. After a brief medical history was given to the doctor, of which he was very attentive to his patient, I stepped out of the room while an examination took place. After about 10 minutes passed I was called back to the exam room. As I walked in the doc darted out, and hubby was just fastening his belt and he looked at me and said, "Well I just lost my man card!" Something about that touched both our funny bones. We had a good laugh before the doctor came back in.</p><p>He said the prostate was swollen and he ordered three blood tests. PSA, and two more. This was on a Thursday. We went right over to the lab and he gave his blood.</p><p>FRIDAY July 16th, 2021 8 AM CT SCAN and Stomach Injection</p><p>My phone rang and it was the doctors assistant. She said that hubby's PSA score came back at 2640. One of the other three blood tests also showed that there was cancer and it spread to his hip bones. Normal is 0-4! I almost fell out of my chair. She said that she wanted him in the office at 7 AM on Monday morning for a biopsy. The doctor will come in an hour early to do the procedure. (Their office opens at 8 AM). </p><p>Hubby called me about an hour later and said that doctors assistant called him too, and the doctor wanted him to have a CT scan THAT AFTERNOON! STAT! So they got him in at 2 pm. I had a physical therapy appointment and needed to keep it. Since this was just a test, I did not think I HAD to go with him.</p><p>A while later, after the scan, hubby calls me and said doctor wanted to see him in is office RIGHT NOW and so he was headed over there before coming home! This was about 3 pm, and their office had closed at noon. </p><p>The doctor spoke with him and said that he did have prostate cancer that had metastasized to his hip bones. He did not believe that it had moved to his spine though. But was going to get some more testing done to make sure. He then gave him a shot with a very long needle in his stomach that pointed in the direction of his prostate. It was to kill the production of testosterone RIGHT NOW. That weekend hubby was in a whole lot of hip pain that the doc promised would get better.</p><p>MONDAY July 19th, 2021, 7 AM BIOPSY</p><p>Biopsy is done and hubby comes home to rest for the rest of the day. He gets a phone call and they want him to do a Bone Scan on his full body on Wednesday. The doctors assistant told me that "I" needed to go to EVERY SINGLE appointment he has from here on out. Two sets of ears are better than one, she said. </p><p>WEDNESDAY July 22nd, 2021 12:15 PM BONE SCAN</p><p>We get to the imaging clinic at 12:15 and he has some radio active clear liquid put into a vein. This stuff was made in Seattle and was shipped from Seattle in a black tube with a skull and cross bones on it. We were then free to go eat lunch and do what ever but had to be back there at 3:45 for the actual test that will take 45 Minutes.</p><p>THURSDAY July 23rd, 2021 </p><p>Hubby gets a phone call from the doctors assistant asking him if he heard from the oncology department of the hospital for a couple more tests. So far he has not heard from them. Maybe on Monday he will. </p><p>FRIDAY July 24th, 2021</p><p>After dinner I have started hubby on a supplement protocol to help fight the cancer.</p><p>If YOU are more interested in this, GOOGLE Joe Tippen's Protocol.</p><div style="text-align: left;">1/4 Tsp of Fen Ben which will be upped by a 1/4 tsp per week till at 1 tsp dosage. (twice day)<br />1 Tsp of Alkaline SILVER which is a cousin to Colloidal Silver. (3x's day)<br />(Once a day for the following)<br />2 Turmeric <br />1 Vitamin D3 50 mcg, 2,000 IU<br />1 Potassium 99mg<br />1 CBD 600mg (20mg)</div><p>This might change as we get further in.</p><p>Also the next appointment we are aware of at this time, is on AUGUST 5th with the Oncologist where we will find out treatment options.</p><p>Hubby's pain this weekend does seem to be getting better, except he has terrible leg cramps several times a night. plus the 2-3 visits to the bathroom.</p><p>I am going to use this blog as a way to document our life path in this. I want to keep track of everything and things have been happening so fast that I can not keep up. </p><p>Thank you for listening..........</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHxqQyqEIrRv2hFLG_pw6rJuUk9cS13gXnfJdQ3E94Fv8FqijDxoPHZeDhV-R4XeZF1tm1P7bSnj9gp9Cp3gPrfFY8By9Ipizv-8Nsipx-mi7CVQHxLzLmztmMUj6YYo2W6KsCANBvcT6/s2048/Cancer+Book.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHxqQyqEIrRv2hFLG_pw6rJuUk9cS13gXnfJdQ3E94Fv8FqijDxoPHZeDhV-R4XeZF1tm1P7bSnj9gp9Cp3gPrfFY8By9Ipizv-8Nsipx-mi7CVQHxLzLmztmMUj6YYo2W6KsCANBvcT6/s320/Cancer+Book.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>mrscravitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.com0Umatilla, OR 97882, USA45.9173549 -119.342517917.607121063821154 -154.49876790000002 74.227588736178845 -84.1862679tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-84869579840840815122021-01-25T09:14:00.001-08:002021-01-25T09:14:06.875-08:00Snow!!!!<img id="id_609f_7d37_9cac_ec71" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/V4Gw-48OcJn6zYJOx0_8CZDTzq0Q7b3LvBCnB2xm17OzDyG9JRRJ5w0L3QKQF1I" alt="" title="" tooltip="" style="width: 353px; height: auto;"><br>Dang!

Sometimes I still want a cigarette, but it is mostly from habit than the need for nicotine. </p><p>I still go outside. I can not stay cooped up in the house. I breathe deep. Oh the fresh air and lung capacity that has improved! I can not breath deep with out coughing! I actually have not coughed for a few days now.</p><p>Back in June I got a chest cold. It did not last to long, but a cough has lingered since then. I knew I needed to quit, but just going cold turkey scared the crap out of me. </p><p>Then someone showed me the, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Allen-Carrs-Smoking-Without-Willpower/dp/178404542X/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=easy+way&qid=1611499579&sr=8-4">Easy Way by Allen Carr</a></p><p>Took me two weeks to read it, but let me tell you. I did not Panic when I was down to my last Cig. I happily gave it all up! It has been a lot easier than I anticipated. </p><p>So if you are wanting to quit, tossing around the idea of quitting, or anything in that general direction I highly suggest this book. </p><p>I would love to know if you have quit smoking, what your obstacles were, how you overcame the "habit" part of wanting a cigarette.</p><p>Oh and for the curious. Prices of a pack of cigarettes went up $2.00 per pack on January 1st. I could not afford them before let alone adding on $20.00 per carton. So it really was an incentive to quit. I have quit putting nails in my coffin and I feel Great!</p><p><br /></p>mrscravitzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06734008259700267954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284019363271881618.post-62625589601217127322021-01-24T06:32:00.004-08:002021-01-25T09:05:31.401-08:00Facebook no longer a friendly place.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTitvg2dQbuxOmw7s-F1hSBuYlHi5xlOb27Pkocge87h6M9WlqQAzw5OR9JlB7TrtYh5RQr7XUkIMuG2uepYZh7yEBIXvRSPiutat3yOgG2P5ZGytjQAMjgPYHFhn9OlqOYVP9LWykq0pY/s2048/IMG_0058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTitvg2dQbuxOmw7s-F1hSBuYlHi5xlOb27Pkocge87h6M9WlqQAzw5OR9JlB7TrtYh5RQr7XUkIMuG2uepYZh7yEBIXvRSPiutat3yOgG2P5ZGytjQAMjgPYHFhn9OlqOYVP9LWykq0pY/s320/IMG_0058.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> Face Book:</div><div style="text-align: center;">What can I say.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pocket was born February 24, 2019</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When she had gotten her eyes open her siblings kicked her off the milk bar, and so she was then bottle fed and progressed into a very healthy sweet baby, that we just fell in love with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Actually EVERYONE that meets her falls in love with her. She has quite the following on Facebook.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pocket is a snuggler and loves to just sit in your lap and be held. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is also quite active at times, running around in circles and chasing her ever elusive toys!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcC34ug9fFm-EdzrWX4LDoNrgqVQTuJnAvPLcq1LpaaOYjYIwJmDCGXneRc2-5RdpClPdHYy3kVSbYDLip9ylhQSnpmvtF1XyYlf2mez4UhKK5fa44GgxpPsiKs-4wLcgQ42iXviSn_TUF/s1600/IMG_8866.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcC34ug9fFm-EdzrWX4LDoNrgqVQTuJnAvPLcq1LpaaOYjYIwJmDCGXneRc2-5RdpClPdHYy3kVSbYDLip9ylhQSnpmvtF1XyYlf2mez4UhKK5fa44GgxpPsiKs-4wLcgQ42iXviSn_TUF/s320/IMG_8866.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pocket seems to grow quite slowly. Some days I see nothing and then all of a sudden she shot up an inch or two. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pocket loves her daddy and the two of them have quite a special bond. One that I am not a part of because I am the Bather, Medicine giver, Toe Nail clipper, disciplinarian, and all the other things that are not so pleasant. Pocket holds a grudge. The older she gets though the less time she holds that grudge. Her eyes tell it all and I know when she is mad at me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is her favorite chair when we are outside. She is not fond of my camera so I do have to take pictures of her on the sly. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was taken today. You can see she is maturing into a beautiful swan. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1jfwLAsWiEJLb53iVp7TnagUX6dMWaFekL7WZx6pUf4QjOOvjDWBWlEYD-0yFHpltm9wpwRvxwN-983qaqEv2f6BvnBqV3FYnm7ShRuZheSo1PpD1ViZSKveesEVcuxpPI8EIosTrXYz/s1600/IMG-2618.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1203" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1jfwLAsWiEJLb53iVp7TnagUX6dMWaFekL7WZx6pUf4QjOOvjDWBWlEYD-0yFHpltm9wpwRvxwN-983qaqEv2f6BvnBqV3FYnm7ShRuZheSo1PpD1ViZSKveesEVcuxpPI8EIosTrXYz/s320/IMG-2618.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today was the big day. SPAY TIME!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the appointment and in the consultation part, I was trying to decide which package to go with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The plain jane, knock em out, and be done with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Package two, that also had gas sleeping, (instead of the injectable knockout drug) and a blood panel. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Third option, all of the above plus and IV drip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to go with option two, because something in my head kept screaming:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BLOOD TEST! BLOOD TEST! BLOOD TEST!~</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The voices did not shut up!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Right as I went to sign the paperwork, Pocket puts both her paws over the sheet of paper and looks at me, like, You are not going thru with this are you!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Less than half an hour after I got home the doc called.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is never good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He said that Pockets blood work was not good and indicates kidney problems. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He said there are a couple more tests to run to help get a clearer picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so glad that I went with the blood work, because, and I don't remember the words he used, but if they had went ahead with the surgery to spay her, it could of been disastrous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, Keep in mind:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pocket shows no signs of being sick. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She plays hard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is alert.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She drinks normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She eats normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pees normal.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of peeing. She has what we call Excited Piddle, when she greats someone she really likes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ever since we got her she has done this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now when I would wipe up her little accidents, I noticed that the paper towel was still white. Her urine never did color the towel a yellow. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did not think about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Second off when she was about 3 months old she was sitting on my lap and I thought, I am going to look at your gums. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were pale.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never a second thought!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I should of THOUGHT! THOUGHT! THOUGHT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So after waiting all day for a return phone call that was purely tense, and stressful,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The call came.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Doc said that whatever is going on with Pocket is more than the clinic has knowledge to deal with. He recommended we take to WSU (Washington State University) in Pullman, WA.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I called to get the steps in motion to get her there, SOON!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know nothing more at this moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I have written out the results of Pockets blood work that was not in the normal levels. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By all accounts she should not be able to function, but as I type this, she is laying next to Sassy chewing on her rope toy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will keep you posted as best I can. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

All the reason's listed above.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

you actually try the product, you will never know.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I use to be a big Fan of a popular bath product company.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter how much I applied the products, my Skin would never feel hydrated.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Come winter time, my skin actually hurt!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh I would smell good. Loved some of their scents. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
BUT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ALONG </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Came<br />POSH!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And my skin care routine changed!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not say much more than what is said in the above photo. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was never a fan of SHEA BUTTER, because of my previous experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Little did I know that it is the quality of the Shea Butter being used that does make a difference.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love sharing POSH.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love sharing my EXPERIENCE with Posh.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Skin actually loves me now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And....best part....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My wrinkles have turned to ruffles!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The OTHER best part....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The products will not break your wallet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
