Chuck has set a deadline, at my insistence, of next Tuesday to improve or consent to hospitalization. Pathological fractures are a mainstay of many multiple myeloma sufferers. His rib has been reinjured, multiple times since last year, and now his upper back and neck are traumatized. He is reluctant to submit to hospitalization to get [Continue]
The first Saturday of December is when we begin unpacking my collection of Christmas trees for display in the house and patio. A few years ago there were over 200 trees but like most serious collectors of anything, I’ve gleaned the collection down to just the best examples and began by dumping the largest tree [Continue]
Back spasms are back, hopefully indicating nothing more than unused muscles hungry for oxygen. Chuck couldn’t rest last night and is back on nerve pain relievers. The pain mysteriously floats from location to location, a pretty sure sign that shingles has reared its ugly head once again. What is with shingles and cancer? Does cancer [Continue]
Wabi sabi, the Japanese ideal of beauty, incorporates simple truths about life and living: life is in a state of ongoing imperfection. So relax and enjoy everything as it is; cancer and all… and be grateful. The first time I saw a Japanese garment created from old textile fragments, boro noragi, I was in awe [Continue]
Week one, again. Taking essential oils is a little like taking hormones – best to alternate their use through the month… and take every fourth week off them entirely. We like week one and the resumption of our essential oil anointing regime. One oil daubed on the skin here; another oil administered on the skin [Continue]
Brother’s wife is suffering from myasthenia gravis and her conventional doctor wants to remove her thymus gland so we hooked her up with a few of our unconventional, alternative healers in case that procedure can be avoided. After a few visits, producing much symptomatic relief, Brother asked if we didn’t know any regular doctors to [Continue]
Many times a multiple myeloma victim suffers death by chemo before the cancer can actually kill him. Or gets killed by an otherwise rather innocuous infection. Mouth health is essential. Today Chuck had to have an emergency root canal – the kind of infection that killed author Michael Gearin-Tosh. Michael survived multiple myeloma for [Continue]
Radiology-Oncologist is satisfied with Chuck’s progress (though without taking further images to make a more informed opinion) so doesn’t want to see him again for three months. I highly suspect this may be due to the failure of the VA to pay him in a timely manner. Yes, I remain a cynic and don’t get [Continue]
We use a lot of iodine around here since Chuck became ill and it stains my hands and clothing. The best solution I came up with was a robe created from fabric that would camouflage the stain until my body could absorb the iodine to my benefit. Created from simple blocks and rectangles of fabric, [Continue]
