Well, I think my time is drawing near. Bout a month ago I started having trouble pissing. My nurse left me with catheters to try and help with that situation. The fun details is I lube up a pee stick and stick it in my weiner about 8" and urine will start draining. As soon as it feels like its all out push it in another inch and "grunt" to make sure its all out.....good times
My memory has went from shitty to shittier. i was forgetting things that happened a month ago, then a week, and now a day. Nurse came by this morning to show me some charts and I don't remember her even being here.....more good times 2 weeks ago I woke up in excruciating pain. My wife held 1 hand and my 13 year old son held the other....it was a completely horrible experience. I knew it would happen but I never wanted my son to see it. As we sit there I was telling them goodbye every time the pain would ket up enough I could speak (Im on hospice so going to the hospital is a no no). We made it through the night and woke up surrounded by people. Wife on one side and my dad and son on the other. Ever since that my sleep keeps going up and pain is, while under control, getting steadier. I was sleeping 10 hours everyday, then 12, then 16, and now we're at 20+. When I wake up in the mornings I take my cocktail of drugs, find something on TV and then go back to sleep. I get up at dinner time, eat what I can, then go vomit before getting back in my chair. Rinse and repeat daily. The brightside is my wife works from home now and can get me meds when needed. She also helps my son with everything cause he has to see it in live action Also, my dad and I are trying to have humor with it. Next time I can get out Im going to fill up my pee jug with lemon lime gatorade, hang it on my wheelchair and drink it using one of my catheter. The looks I get should be priceless. Anyways, thought Id give an update while im awake and coherent. Thanks to everyone at CP who said a prayer and to those who have my number that text me every once in a while. I'm not dead yet and Ive promised I won't go down easily. Im picking stubborn, might die tomorrow or it might be a year. Im back off to sleepy land for a while. God bless ya CP HayWire Last edited by DaFace; 08-04-2024 at 08:49 AM.. |

. God speed hay. I'm so sorry....
May god bless you and your family for all you all are going through. It's tougher on them than it is yourself. May your pain and suffering be taken away and it lead you to eternal peace. But please, always remember one thing. GO CHIEFS |

Thank you so much for sharing. The way you've handled this has been amazing to follow. I've learned a lot and it's made me think about how I want to handle it someday if I'm faced with it. I don't know you but I love you, brother.

One thing I would like to address us the whole"bucket list" thing. great movie but that's about it.
Everyone keeps asking what im going to do now that I know my days are numbered. Correct answer....not a ****ing thing. Sure, there things id like to do but my body isn't going to let me. I guess my point is to not wait to do bucket list things. Do them while you can and healthy enough to enjoy it. My wife and dad have asked me if there is any place id want to go. Why bother? Wouldn't be able to do anything if i did go. Go and enjoy yourself now. Last edited by DaFace; 08-04-2024 at 08:50 AM.. |

You told us you were on the way out like 2 years ago, so for now I'm just going to assume that this is just another bump in the road and you'll be feeling better soon.
But in case that's not the situation, thanks for continuing to come back and keep us updated on your journey. Your attitude in the face of a lot of shit has been inspiring. Godspeed. |
