This week has not been so great. I couldn't go to the bathroom at all for two days. I doubled up on the laxatives and finally started going yesterday. All day long. And still going this morning but I felt better today than I have for a while. I was happy because I knew I had to get out today and get a few things. I did go out around 1:30. Went to Aubuchon to get my critter food and then to Walmart for a few items. Then I stopped at the Farmer's Market and got some veggies. It was raining but I didn't mind. I like the rain and getting wet is fun. I will probably pay for not taking any laxatives today but I can't when I want to go out. So tonight I will take some and hopefully they will work tomorrow without getting too uncomfortable.
My sister, Pam's father died on Monday. The calling hours are tonight. I won't be going but Jeanne and Jane are. John Zuis and his wife, Betty, adopted Pam when she was two years old. Betty died a few years ago. John was a nice man. Easy going and friendly to all. He was 85. Had a heart attack right in his chair at home after he had been out all day with his sister to go see their brother in the nursing home in Utica. Pam said he was thirsty and cold and asked her to bring him a blanket. When she got back he was gone. She tried CPR while waiting for the ambulance but it didn't work. He has had Congestive Heart failure for a while. Guess it was expected at any time. He was very active. He golfed at least three days a week. I know Pam will miss him. She's been taking care of him and living in the same home she grew up in for a few years now. She bought it from John. It's a good thing. She doesn't need any hassles from the rest of the family.
I saw Pam's son, Gregory when I was pulling in a parking spot at Walmart today. He said his mom had a bad day yesterday but they were preparing for the calling hours tonight and the funeral tomorrow. I guess they are all gathering at the VFW in Herkimer after the funeral.
Steve is still down south with Alysha. She's getting packed and ready to move to NH at the end of the month. Guess she's in the process of selling stuff to get some money. I think Steve will be riding along with her to NH. She is not used to driving anywhere like that. Not sure when Steve will be back here to his house. My brother, Mike, wants him to move to Vermont where he lives. I think he should. He has nothing here and no job. This valley offers nothing for anyone.
I guess all is well with everyone else in the family.
I'm still thinking about what I should do about my situation. I still have to write a letter to the surgeon and see if he thinks it would be a good idea to take my tumor out and give me a permanent colostomy. It sure would be better than having all these bathroom problems. But I'm scared and still thinking about it. I better hurry up before the cancer has spread so far that he can't do it. It already might be too late. I hate going through all those tests again but I'll have to. I will still refuse any chemo or radiation.
Well. That is all for now. Take care everyone.
