 Yup!

I've looked online at the Walmart caskets. 

Walmart does headstones, too!

Order online, pick it up at the store.

While there, pick out a nice outfit, get some potting soil, a shovel and some flowers, pick out some tunes, cruise by the deli for a couple sandwich trays.

Shoot, I bet you can do the whole thing for less than $3000!

Picking it up could be a problem. Will it fit in the back seat of my Camry?

Meh, just tie it to the top.

They got bungee cords at Walmart, too.

I have a strange sense of humor, I hope you are at least smiling at the thought of how this would all look.

And the cashier's face as they rang it all up.

My doctors tell me not to lift or carry anything over 15 pounds.

Could I get on made out of canvas? or Saran Wrap?

Maybe one of those really big vacuum seal zip lock bags.

Ok all joking aside, why not put your house on the market and buy a condo or townhouse? Tell spouse everything has to go. Get a dumpster and hire some college kids to fill it as many times as needed. The r/e market is hot right now.

All joking aside, it doesn't sound like ed's wife can do much of anything, on her own.

Maybe ed should look at assisted living apartments.

So, if anything does happen, his wife would have help. And, ed would have help, too.

Just an idea.

Good news from my oncologist today,

None of the tumors have grown, nothing had gotten worse.

Getting up at 6:00 a.m. for a fasting blood draw at 8:00.

I would love to be able to sleep now, but I think it's way too early for my body clock.

 

I'm concerned that when my chest surgeon sees my two latest CT scans,

he will say my pleural effusion is back, and want to put me in the hospital for a few days.

That will be tough on my family.

Not as tough, I suppose, as when I die. cry

Ed. You had a good report. Stop being negative.

I get being practical but attitude has a lot to do with how we heal.

As for sleeping, ask your doctor and pharmacist about melatonin.

Ask about interactions.

If ok to use, start with the lowest dose.

I use 3mg and it helps me rest.

No growing tumors! WOOHOO! THAT is WONDERFUL news! Stay positive and try not to think of the big ugly cake you are eating. Just take one small bite at a time dear. One small bite is easier to digest than the whole thing.

Are you still using an inhaler?

It's not uncommon to lose your voice after using one for a while.

Gently gargle with warm salt water 3 times a day, sip water and rest your vocal cords.

Interesting! I remember my voice sounding odd for the first few months of me doing chemo and I didnt think much of it. Now that you mention it, it MUST be as a direct relation to the chemo! Good point made. Now my voice is ok, but it didnt make for good voice recordings for work back then.

Get some ginger capsules.

They help.

He hasn't been on in a while.

Wonder if he is back in the hospital?

 They are right, ed. Listen to them.

Add cream to your cereal, coffee, whatever. Drink Ensure a couple times a day. Yeah, you need to gain several pounds to be healthy. That's what my oncologist told me when I dropped weight so fast. Your body recovers much faster if you can keep your weight up.

I know it's hard to eat when you don't feel hungry. Been there, done that. DH made banana splits for me almost daily. I couldn't eat all of it, but it helped to stabilize my weight during the worst of the treatments.

Sending hugs and prayers your way, ed.
