Nothing crazy happening

Been a couple of weeks since I last updated my blog. I've gone through a change with my computer so I haven't had access to it for a while - but it's a huge relief to have it again. I would love to give you something interesting to read about but it's good that I haven't had anything crazy happen. This is why I don't have a lot to say.

My time at the pad is great as always, definitely have gotten into a groove being here. I still enjoy going home every weekend for one or two nights, but also want to ensure it's not too much pressure on Tasha and Talyn for me to be there, as I see them every day anyways. The most important thing is that I'm taking the best possible care of myself.

My brother is in town right now visiting, which is giving him and I some good one on one time. I am heading home for tomorrow to spend the day at my house and will come back to the pad Sunday. I hope everyone is doing well.

Talk to you soon.

Spent a couple of days at home

Hi everyone, hope all is well. I am definitely settled into my pad. I actually find a strong sense of relief due to my situation. But the great part is that I can still get away and do other things. I was lucky enough to spend 2 nights at my house.

My in-laws were in town for the weekend, which was great. I got to spend time with them, Talyn and Tasha. It's also great for me to come back to my pad and have some veg time. As that is so incredibly important for me to try and have.

In a good way though, it's been pretty hard for me to get a lot of veg time, due to the incredible love and support I have through my friends and family. As I may have said before, there is always a bright side to everything in life and this is definitely one.

We all know that my chances are fairly low of me getting through this, but I still feel very confident that I will. What is great to know is whether I make it or not, I will pass on as an extremely happy man, due to the incredible wife and son that I have. I feel that I have accepted that I may move on, at the same time I feel the most at peace that I have ever felt.

We have some more friends coming to town this weekend for Valentine's Day. But I also have to ensure that I am not "partying too much", as my number one priority is taking care of myself.

Hope everyone is having a great day. Happy Valentine's Day!

Talk to you soon

Hola from the pad

Hi everyone,

I hope that all is well. Things for me are doing well.

Totally used to the changes of being at the hospice. I have chosen to change the term "hospice" to "my pad". After all, I can pretty well get anything I want. Please understand that I'm not saying this in an arrogant manner. I'm just letting cancer know that even though I'm supposed to die here b/c of the past history, I have no intention of doing so. After all, my "pad" is referred to as the "Magic" room. The reasoning behind that is due to the fact that only two patients have ever walked out of this hospice and it was from this room where they had stayed. I am choosing to focus all of my energy on those two people while focusing on myself to get better so that I can be the third person to walk out of this hospice.

The way that I've always thought about anything in life is why does it make logical sense to focus on all of the dieing when I can simply focus on the living. The staff here are phenomenal and has made life for me so much easier to invest all of my energy in getting better. I love them all already, even though I haven't met that many of them, they are outstanding!!!!

Going to be updating things quite a bit and love you all.

As I've said before; Peace, Love and Happiness.

Ciao for now
