What if it Snows?

Best wishes for your dad and you. And whole family.

 

In my opinion Kennewick is the better of the 3, mom's in Pasco, sister is in Richland, but I'm not a fan of any of them I like it out here between Waitsburg and Dayton they say there isn't enough around (mom it's doctors), (sister it's wal-fart), ahh that's exactly why I moved HERE.

 

Does it count if you use one finger??

 

I'm done. Travel safely

 

I’ve been taken off shop duties to make a delivery of oil to the land of cleves. Weather is pleasant here and the mosquitoes haven’t hatched out yet.

 

dealing with this isn’t easy.
Dad came down with bladder cancer mid 23. Just had a physical then about a Month later pee was straight blood.
First doctor said he’d schedule him for evaluation in 6 months.. next was an aprn who got him looked at the next week, he was on two different types chemo. Then step outside and smoke.
Still at a carton/week.

they ended up taking bladder, prostate and lymph nodes, surgery lasted way longer than they reflected.
I sat in waiting room in Little Rock for 10 hours. They had him under for 9 hours then hour for recovery.

Since then I go home once a week at least, deadheading sometimes 800 +\- miles if no load going that way, got to change that urine bag k. His stomach, figured out a way to make it last alot better over the time, the nurses didn’t have any knowledge of doing it, using stoma paste.

Now got the ‘wafers’ and alcohol pads, skin barrier prep and sure prep that makes skin sticky so it’ll stick.

After surgery and for about 4 months I stayed over helping him, couldn’t make it to bathroom, so guess who got to clean that crap up from the hallway, and the bathroom floor..

Now they say his white and red blood count is out of whack, they think it could be bone marrow cancer or bone cancer. He said he wasn’t doing any more tests, or being cut again.

It does weigh heavy on one’s mind…
I even have weird, bad dreams now, vivid ones… I told him about one, it bothered me, I dreamed we were in the old place we lived when I was a kid, we moved I was 12-13… anyway, we were sitting and talking, him, me and my sister, then all of a sudden in the dream, he grabbed a pistol and shot him self in the head.. then I jerked awake and had to rush over and make sure it was just a nightmare..
