I'll be completely honest I thought Mr. MB was going to go ahead and throw in the towel. It was very overwhelming. Surgery went well, as I mentioned before but recovery was a whole other thing. There was a lot of pain. Way more pain that anyone led on. Of course, all people handle pain differently and that just goes to say ... what's super painful for one may not be the case for another. It's nothing something I'm prepared to debate. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi8NcuaFYK2Dh5JhHlzud41oBk5Gg4CPCUM33YvUIqSRFpDxcY5IVQPY9Q9bkeLwT5JvwXn6GpiPYV_OQx6dmqnU9cTh03eDQGubE_dsHw2W5QmnbjHocgAF0_9wze3zdnxjHVZvncE9iDEmbaskVfZrH-UJjirYZyTS4eJ4vEXe27UMcOdgy5HxGP4Wg=s320" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="194" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi8NcuaFYK2Dh5JhHlzud41oBk5Gg4CPCUM33YvUIqSRFpDxcY5IVQPY9Q9bkeLwT5JvwXn6GpiPYV_OQx6dmqnU9cTh03eDQGubE_dsHw2W5QmnbjHocgAF0_9wze3zdnxjHVZvncE9iDEmbaskVfZrH-UJjirYZyTS4eJ4vEXe27UMcOdgy5HxGP4Wg" width="194" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">O<span style="text-align: left;">ur week at a glance: </span></div></div><p>Monday: surgery </p><p>(we were literally there all day)</p><p>Tuesday: labs and chemo </p><p>(a lot of pain, hard to get up and moving)</p><p>Wednesday: radiation </p><p>(still a lot of pain and still not eating or drinking enough and sleeping all day)</p><p>Thursday: radiation </p><p>(still in pain, still not eating or drinking. very out of it and not doing well at all.) </p><p>Thursday is when I decided enough was enough and I wasn't sure exactly what was going on and how "normal" this was.

I believe myself to be mentally exhausted and the anxiety is doing me no favors! Today was surgery day. The doctors put in the cath port and the peg tube aka feeding tube. He's not currently unable to eat, but the oncologist didn't want to proceed without having one in place, just in case it becomes impossible for him to eat. I get it, but it was quite the event and the pain though still fully there is just now beginning to ease up a little. Dude it's been like 12 hours. I'm almost dead tired, and I didn't have to deal with half of what he dealt with today. </p><p><br /></p><p>Until next time, Ill keep hanging in there.

By this I mean blogging journey. I'm not quick minded and I don't think fast on my feet, I'm quite slow to be honest. But sometimes there is much to say and frankly I never know how to say it. So, what do I do? I run to my keyboard and attempt to figure it out in writing. </p><p>This post is titled "on the wagon". I'll give a little recap, so you know what I'm talking about. When the pandemic dropped, I started feeling very anxious. So, I picked up drinking. I'm quite ashamed to admit it, but it was and always has been a bit of a release for me. Unfortunately, I really took it a little far. Nothing too horrible, no terrible mistakes were made or anything. I just started drinking too much and too often.</p><p>So, for a while now, on several occasions I've convinced myself to stop it and each time I've ran out one day or another and grabbed up another bottle. </p><p>To close the post, today was one of those days that I said I'm quitting. I'm all out and I had a pretty good fit earlier, but I think I'll be ok. I feel like with everything that is going on, I need to have my wits about myself. Imagine the middle of the night, drunken and my kids or my sick husband needs me, but I've been drinking. These thoughts and of course my health is keeping me focused. With Gods strength I can get past this and if I choose to have a drink at dinner out once, I can do it without fear of falling off again. It's hard to see the grey when you've always been black or white. </p><p>I'll update the cancer news tomorrow. Until next time, </p><p><br /></p><p>Hang in there</p><p>-MB</p>Hey Monkey Butthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03876011642278169652noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5585058982589515766.post-15891768204480256842022-02-23T22:30:00.001-05:002022-02-23T22:30:12.395-05:00I'm not the only one <p> Today was an early day, we're still early in the phasing and today was a day that will mark the near future. If the cancer has spread somewhere, it will mean .... what I'm not sure but more than I'm ready to assume, or so I imagine. Today we arrived early for a PET scan and an MRI. Doctors' orders, he will use these two scans to determine the stage of the cancer, I'm not sure I have the strength to know. Good thing we don't find out until Friday. Because I'm tired boss, so tired. </p><br /><p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEisQHbx5gDGQgc0mxPSzAhynmgzBmyiq2TX7gfnZr5RVjF601Ke947GcEau_E7e0Mck3zDN6oLyDatm5J28bcLsHAwv1eQv-PpZStt-Br-pGD9vK2TK8OErptsfMTsZW9NHgMVxDZSpdjq0OVIoos2iSFsGikwxIttC-pCfhMvKCsdsQoSx3m8CE9Y_Iw=s4812" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; display: inline !important; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3136" data-original-width="4812" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEisQHbx5gDGQgc0mxPSzAhynmgzBmyiq2TX7gfnZr5RVjF601Ke947GcEau_E7e0Mck3zDN6oLyDatm5J28bcLsHAwv1eQv-PpZStt-Br-pGD9vK2TK8OErptsfMTsZW9NHgMVxDZSpdjq0OVIoos2iSFsGikwxIttC-pCfhMvKCsdsQoSx3m8CE9Y_Iw=s320" width="320" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>I've no room to complain, I'm just the "care taker".

News is in, treatments start March 1st. For now, we're finishing up scans and learning as much as we can about what is to come. Hopefully Friday will tell us which stage we are at and what exactly we are looking at. Today wasn't too much of a challenge, the iron infusion and fluids were administered.

The Dr office had called and said the iron treatments they're wanting are going to cost us about $300 and that his chemo treatments are going to cost us about $26. The second price wasn't the kicker it was the cost for the iron treatments. We are sure he probably needs the iron, so I'm sure we will have it done I just wish a little more of the cost was covered. </p><p><br /></p><p>For those who pray, please keep them coming.

To list a few I'd have to say, my first marriage, candy crush and drinking (for a while). Right now I feel heavy in the burden of school. Because of the state of the world and the situation we are in with the covid numbers rising in our area my kids have been home and on an alternating face to face schedule. It's mainly because of this that I can truthfully say I have started drinking again, hey what can I say. The problem runs deep. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My current serious dilemma though is my teenager. She's 17 now, I can't believe it, and has the worst attitude ever. I've never remembered myself acting the way she acts. Perhaps because my family would have knocked my head off, of course I'm a wimp and don't typically strike the children. Although I have started threatening one of the boys with a spoon and it seems to be working. I joke, but I guess it's not really funny. Yall she's giving me a true run for my money. Its so hard and so difficult and I'm at such a loss. She's going to fail, without a doubt and she's going to have to retake some courses, but it seems as though she doesn't care at all. I don't know what to do. I know I'm rambling and that wasn't my intentions. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">What are you thoughts?

here >>> https://amonkeybuttstestimony.blogspot.com/ <<<<br />
<br />
I pray some of you will follow along, my faith is strong and has been getting so much stronger. I feel like I'm being led in a way to share it with the world. <br />

Happy Sunday y'all, I've got a lot going on in my head these last few days. Figured I'd drop in and see how everyone's Thanksgiving went? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was good here, other than the stomach bug we picked up. So far it's only hit the twins, praying it stops there. No one likes a stomach bug, or anything that comes with it. </div>

I blew the dust of the ole lap top tonight, needed to upload some photos and the likes, goodness knows I need to use that option more often since the icloud hates me and I refuse to use it. haha.<br />

As you can tell holidays have been in full force around here, I tried to get the kids to pick fall colors out of multicolored food sprinkles... This is the face for asking such things, teenagers yo.<br />

Our neked tree, its decorated now. Just no picture on file yet. I had a bit of a fit the other day when we were to go to the tree farm and pick out a tree. I had all these magical ideas of getting us all together and taking a nice photo and this and that, which is absurd I know, I mean there are six of us now. Well I didn't get out of the car and the family is already headed back to the van telling me that they're too expensive. I went home in full sulk mode. Sent the husband and teenager to our kroger today to get one of their affordable ones. Oh well .<br />

My granny with my twins. Love all three of them so much, so blessed to have her and that my kids have her. <br />

And mostly, this... On this day, five years ago my mom took her last breaths here on earth. The details of that night have resonated with me since. Some days I'm better at forgetting what it looks like or sounds like, but this week has been a challenge for me. I'm not dropping this in last to leave a sour taste. I thank God for taking her that night, she'd gone through so much, cancer really sucks man. There was so much bad in losing my Mama MB, but there was so much good too. I miss her, daily, all the time, forever. I'm thankful for her, for the time we had with her, though not long enough. It was just what we needed, I guess,. She really left her mark, on her family. <br />
<br />
I found a Christmas card tonight too from a friend who passed away last year, my dear friend Tim. Sometimes the holidays can be the worst for these things. <br />
<br />
I'm thankful for you guys and gals, my Dingleberries. I'm glad to have this place to come and ramble on and none of you judge me, well at least not publicly. <br />
<br />
Hang in there friends... <br />
<br />
Much Love from your friendly<br />

<br />
So as some of you noticed, i attempted a video blog and well ... I guess I failed at it, I've no idea why or how... <br />
<br />
If anyone has knowledge please let me know.<br />
<br />
I did a video on youtube because I couldn't figure out how to upload a video that wasn't youtube. <br />
<br />
I did however go look at it just now and it does play for me. Please dingleberries, go check it again and see if it works..<br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

My 4 year old would flip for this plane, so of course being Mommy, I go on the hunt for it. Seriously, why does it cost so much on Amazon. I'm going to check ebay and then go to bed .<br />
<br />
Stupid toys<br />

Hey yall! I'm tired! It's been a while since I logged in, nothing new there. But I'm still alive and kicking, still missing my Dingleberries! I hope you are all well.<br />
<br />
My boys just turned 4 and 1. They're growing up I guess. Sometimes my head feels weird and I'm like man, where did the time go, they're almost grown. hahah..<br />
<br />
Guess that's just the way it goes. I sure wish my iphone had an app for blogger, would really make my blogging life easier, its hard to get the lap top out most of the time. <br />
<br />
Much Love yall<br />

It's been a crazy week, trying to clear the house of all the extra messes I've made with my "decluttering". It's been a ride and it ain't over yet!<br />

All that being said, I've unloaded this much stuff (so far)<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things are slowing down a little, I'm able to at least open the lap top for a few minutes. I picked up a cliff bar at kroger tonight. It's not good.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We're expecting "winter weather" so I stocked up on milk and bread. Of course. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't want to be stuck in the house with no milk sandwiches. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Emonkey calls them sammiches. Love that kid. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So today in the great purge of January 2017 I deleted some emails. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know what you're thinking.. what the hell is she talking about now. Well I'm notorious for having too many emails and I know my measly bit has nothing on some other folks, but whatevs! This is my journey! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On a side note.. Emonkeys most recent favorite saying is "what the hell". Yea... I think he learned that one from me..Of course, but it's better than "shit". Which he learned from Mr MB. As soon as he drops the F bomb, Mr MB is getting a bar of soap in the mouth. Just sayin</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways, back to this..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The monkeys are all sleeping.. so I'm taking this opportunity to post what I've been up to today, and note that I'm still not done. Ugh </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is tackle my closet day. We all know what a woman's closet is like, well mine isn't really an exception. But in my defense, Mr MB has more stuff that I do in the closet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I pulled everything out that either I haven't worn, won't wear or can just plain live with out. Did the same thing in my dresser drawer. Which I'm considering just getting rid of the dresser all together. (I didn't take a picture of that)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
** Please note this isn't a child subjected to the horrors of a hoarding house hold... The floor is cleaned up now **</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But yes, that's my pile of "things". Things that I know I can and will live without. There are two more bins in my closet that have to be gone through, another day. Right now I'm going to call it a success if I can get this stuff out of my house ASAP! I'm starting by bagging it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I read somewhere that you can bag it or tub it up and put it away for 30 days. If you didn't miss it or need it during that time then toss it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not that patient. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this is what I've got left, so far. There are still a few more items I have to get hung up but I started with two full sections and am left with this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not too shabby, right? </div>

<br />
So i had a few minutes.. Today was Day 1 of my sorting and trashing.. I've got 2 bags of garbage (see hoarding) as well as a box of flip flops (I saved only 1 pair) and about 10 pairs of converse shoes. I have an impressive "collection" of converse shoes.. .I'm getting rid of them.<br />
<br />
This so far is going to be the hardest thing I do, because I've got some that I just love love love .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
There's so much more to do, but I'm starting and that's a big step for me. I think it's time, time to rid of all the clutter and all the mess. <br />
<br />
The kitchen will be another hard part for me, it's been suggested that I make things from scratch. I think people have way to much free time. Kind of like me I guess but I can't seem to wrap my head around making anything from scratch and it being better, lol ... I'm bad I know..<br />
<br />
Did you all see Pokey's birthday cake? It wasn't cheap but Lordy is it good.<br />
<br />

She's thirteen now, I can't believe it. We have a teenager! Pretty soon I'll have to throw a sweet 16 and buy cars and stuff. Thats going to be weird.<br />
