Folks, it seems like it has been months since I have been here. Have really missed the posts, the pics, the banterings & ribbings, but what I have missed the most was the inner action with the members of the best sub-forum on here. Sally T. & I want all of you to know that your words and thoughts mean so much to us, how much they are appreciated, and that every single one of you we consider an extension of our family no matter where you are.
The oncologists have switched her "C" medicine to one step up being stronger and it has really taken a toll on her stamina and her general health. The fatigue that she is experiencing is just unbelievable. Most of her days consists of 13 to 16 hours of sleep, getting up to eat, and then either napping on the couch, in the recliner, or back in bed. I have been delegated the tasks of taking care of the cleaning, running the dishwasher (anyone else know you can't use regular liquid dish soap in a dishwasher ???), vaccuming, laundry (who knew you couldn't put colors in with the whites), paying bills, grocery shopping, and all the rest of the things I had no clue of how much she did. And please, this is not a complaint, because I know she would do the same thing if the situation was reversed. I told her any morning that her feet hit the floor, it was a good day . . . . . and all the rest could be handled.
Guys, we love each and every one of you, thanks again for everything, sorry I have not been able to get on here as much, but the priorities have to be sorted out, and that is not a slam against any of you. Once she starts to get acclimated to the side effects, we should start seeing an improvement in her overall condition. The good news is her last blood test last week is still showing negative for any "C" cells, & coming up on May 14th, she will officially be a 2-year "C" survivor. Keep good thoughts, sorry for the rant, seems like when it starts coming out, I loose the wrench to shut off the flood gates . . . . . :)
We love you guys, god bless each of you . . .
Be safe.
 
Sounds like you have your priorities exactly where they should be, I have a "survivor" in my family, I love her dearly and every day is a blessing.
You and your family are in my prayers.

Just remember we're here anytime y'all need us. All you got to do is yell. Thanks for the update, oh btw you only have to put whites in with colors once. After that no more whites to seperate from the rest of the laudry!! :D
 
Take care of Sally Bill, we will always be here for you.
 
You are a good man to take over all the chores. It's amazing how our priorities change in tough times. My prayers are with you and your wife.
 
Wow,2 year survivor,that's great.Here's hoping for many,many more with the new med dosage.
I'm sorry it's taking it's toll on Sally T now,but hopefully it will be worth it in the long run.

Thanks for the update Bill,smokes up in the PNW for Sally T & yourself.
 
Sounds like things should be looking up for you and Sally T. Hopefully she gets used to the medication quickly.
 
Bill,
good to hear you're doing well and she's starting to get better.
VERY happy to hear you have your priorities straight on this -- much as we like having you around, SallyT comes first.
give her a hug for me.
 
Bill - it's amazing when we finally figure out how much our wives do for us! Take care of her and I'll be praying for you guys.
