Garytime....Let me tell ya about it!

There's a thing in my world that my friends and family refer to as "GARYTIME". If there is someplace to be or something that needs to get done it always was done as my schedule allowed! If I tell you I will be there at 5, count on me showing up at 5:45-6:00. Granted I have never been late to work or to a gig, but just normal daily routines were done whenever I got around to them. Well this tumor is changing the way I operate and I not happy about it! Now I have to be places at certain times because my life depends on it! Ouch! Talk about karma! This kind of sucks!
I finally start chemotherapy on Monday May 24th. The doctors have all of the examination reports to work out my treatment plan now and we have a go date! My boss is working with me by giving me a few days a week. I am having to switch to nights so I can go to my treatments during the day. Hopefully I won't get too sick from the chemo and I can work full time while I do this! Bills don't go away because you have cancer folks! In fact you need money more! Sick, twisted reality check! Thank God we have insurance or I would be really screwed!
I have a pic of my lil butt buddy! Wanna see it? I have to download it...give me a minute! My wife has to show me how to do it! lol! Got to find a usb cord....I have to send it to her phone and she's going to send it to my e-mail. What a bunch of crap! Well it isn't working! Guess you will have to ask for your own viewing! Wait! Idea! I can charge $5 per person to look at my tumor! Is that prostitution? Spread the cheeks and look inside! Gather 'round everyone and come see the new sideshow attraction! I'd be lucky to make $5! lol.
If I figure out how to get the pic on here you know I will post it! I ain't scared to bear my butt to all of you! The outside is ALOT nicer than the inside now that's for sure! Hopefully the radiation will shrink it down. Where's Rick Moranis when you need him? You know, "Honey, I shrunk the kids?" Well here's a mass I'd like removed from my ass sir! Just aim your laser at my butt and shrink away! Maybe save enough skin to avoid the colostomy bag please! Well I have to go give a guitar lesson. I want to say more, but this kid won't leave me alone! Hahaha!

What do they put in that stuff?

The last few days have been all about appointments. I have another one today and another on Wednesday as a matter of fact! I will be the first to tell you that I am THE most unorganized person in my family. I am not a list maker, budget creator, stick to a set schedule kind of a guy. I have spent alot of my life just kind of "living in the moment". Having to remember every date and time for all of these appointments is really going to take some effort on my part. If you miss a chemo treatment I don't think there's a re-do!

Finally got my BARD implantable POWER PORT! The procedure is all about hooking you up with a temporary line into your veins right around your heart. This way when you get your chemo it gets pushed through your system quicker. At least that's what I think! Don't read this for professional advice I AM NOT A DOCTOR! But I have played Dr. before! The nurses were cool. One nurse even had to shave the top half of my chest hair off. I was hoping she could get the patches growing on my shoulders but she wasn't having any of it! Looks like the Doctor started on the left side and then changed his mind for whatever reason and put it on my upper right side of my chest. I have a pinpoint bruise where I think they might have tried to find a vein and maybe gave up! Who knows!

When I had my colonoscopy done I remember passing out as I rolled over onto my side. This time I was determined to try and see how long I could fight to stay awake! I was wheeled into the operating room at 6:55 p.m. The last time I saw the clock it was 6:58 and that was all she wrote! Even trying to piece it together now it's really foggy and unclear. The sequence of events tend to flow together. What do they put in that stuff? It is crazy how you can be awake one second and just zombified the next! It can be scary if you think about the risk ANY time you get put under by anesthesia. Probably use spellcheck on that one! They suggest cloudscape instead of colonoscopy! Is that a heavenly reference or what? Kaleidoscope is suggested as well? Weird.

I am out of here! Got to go to another damn appointment! Garytime is quickly changing into doctortime. I object! lol! Well I really have no choice now do i? I will post some more tonight when I get hme! Hope everyone is doing good! I am!
