The Trifecta

[Roger63]

I know where you've been, Roger. Boy, do I....
No sage wisdom offered from here, other than maybe for one really simple one:
Just keep getting back up.
Every. Damn. Time.
Cuss if you gotta. Break a couple things, whatever works - but make nothing else
matter more than just getting back up one more time than you get knocked down.

HUGE prayers for you and yours, sir!

I really don't know how to quit. I proved them wrong about walking and I will prove them wrong about cancer

I don't know about all that....I've messed up plenty in this life, but I am trying!

Well I've posted about a lot of bad luck on this thread, so it's time I post about small victories. Tonight I did something that is menial to most people but in my situation it's like winning a playoff game. I did the days dishes without sitting down. I know I know not something most men would even admit to. But I'm damn proud.

I don't mind to admit that I wash the dishes too, hate the way the wife do it, she always made a mess in the kitchen, she cook, i wash and put everything were it belongs, Paul is right baby steps but in the right direction keep going brother.

Personally (and I do NOT pretend to know what Roger is going through, just similar),
I've turned all the associated leftover maladies, morning/middle of the night struggles
and buckets of pain into a sort of game/contest.
I know the dance well - and I grumble and stumble through it, whatever it takes, all
the while trying not to disturb the wife until it's time for her to wake up later...

All sorts of irrational cussing aimed at whatever the immediate issue is, followed by
something that resembles that line George C. Scott (portraying Patton) says in that
movie:
("Rommel, you magnificent bastard, I READ YOUR BOOK!").
I'm very thankful my wife chooses not to record such antics - and that she puts up with
all of it.
It must be quite a sight some mornings...

Best of luck and hang tough. May the dear Lord give you hand thru it!

About a month ago I had another pet scan done. Results were encouraging, no new cancer and the 2 spots I have in my back and hip are shrinking. My next problem is the hospital Bill's. I have burned through my medical savings account as I couldn't afford obama care @ $3000 per month. A friend started a GoFundMe for me but hasn't caught fire as I can and do read the labels on gorilla glue.lm gonna post the link .

Well due to another thread I realized that I haven't updated this for quite awhile. Everything is going well I'm walking on my own again and 1 of the 2 spots of cancer left in my bone has resolved. The other in my hip is almost undetectable. I originally told my doctor she is going to wind up writing a paper on me. I think she is beginning to believe it.

It's been a rough 2 months around the flat farm here. My better half lost the engine in her work truck down in Georgia in the middle of May. No shops in the area she was in to get it rebuilt. It took almost 3 weeks to get it shipped back here to a shop we use. We are still waiting on it to be finished supposedly next week late. So far that's $40,000 in lost revenue and another $15K for the repairs. Last week I went for my 6 month scan and after a clear scan in February they found 4 new spots that are suspected metastasis. **** just keeps stacking up. Not looking for sympathy just venting. God never puts on you more than you can handle. But damn my back is held together with titanium rods and they are starting to bend.
