Where it is real F ing COLD
Old School said:
it's been hell...but here it is...........

been fighting various illness[ PNEUNOMIA ..COPD..GASTROPARESIS..GERD.. ACID REFUX. ..since March.

have lost a lot of weight and can't seem to put it back on

hard to eat good ...small potions and still slow to digest w/slow stomach

they found bladder cancer this week

surgery scheduled for July 24th

early thoughts are they have 80% chance of getting it all..

though that sounded like a company line

I will know more Friday after pre surgery visit w/Doc I hope

it has all worn me down ...trying to stay positive..

biggest fight is not getting enough sleep having to get up to go to piss during the night and can't go back to sleep..going on for weeks now...sleep deprived and stressed out... ..tried 2 zanex[ 25mg for daytime nap[doc approved]...would not put me to sleep...doc prescribed anti -dep. but will be 2 weeks before that kicks in..

stuck in the house and can't sleep except for the few hours Temazepam gives me..6 hours at the most] before the must pee wakes me and I can't go back to sleep

but it will get better....

sure hope so..........

thanks for the concern folks

2nd tuffest thing I have ever been thru...

gotta find some way to

would not have made it this far without my fantastic wife.


hug the ones ya love....life is short

OS my old man had bladder cancer. Not that anyone wants to pick a cancer but that's a "good" one to get. You are one tough SOB and you are going to kick that.

Prayers Old School, hang in there buddy. I know from personal experience the Gerd can be a pain. Had a 'stretta' procedure about a year ago for it and it's gotten a lot better fwiw.
