I've Got a pumpkin head!
Well I think the predisone I'm on has given me a pumpkin head. It appears to be orange although my mother in law says no! My teeth are also numb tonight. Certain of my favorite foods make me want to gag just by looking at them. Other then that it's 2 am and I'm up. Everyone else is sleeping. This is where it gets lonlely sometimes... Your mind wanders and thinks crappy thoughts. That's why I write because there's so much to be thankful for. I sniffing out more baked goods my wife has made for work tommorrow. They look great but I better leave them. Cancer or no cancer she'll kick my but if they are missing. My energy level has been consistent but we'll see if that changes because I'm off the steriod tommorrow. I got to play with the kids quite a bit tonight as well as my niece Lily, and nephews Noah,and Finn. Actually Finn just sat in his highchair and ate, just like a true Maisonville. Well once again I enjoy reading everyones comments you make my late nights.... Love you all!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHi John , it's Terry , your dad's cousin.Your blog is giving everyone some insight into the teatment of cancer.It will be a day to day struggle for both you and your family.When you are awake at 2 AM and think you're alone , you aren't because I am up with you at that time , because it's 10 PM here on the coast.Someone in your world will always be with you at any given time of the day , so you will never be alone , it may just seem that way. We are all praying for your recovery. Let that Maisonville stubborness take over.

ReplyDeleteIn your spare time,at 2 or 3am when your up,go on the internet and read up on a cottage cheese and flax seed oil diet.Thats all you have to type in and thousands of articles pop up.Its by a woman named Johanna Budwig and she talks about the benifits of using this stuff.There is also a special diet and lots of other things about it.I think you will find it interesting.You can also type in Johanna Budwig if you wish.She was nominated for the nobel prize yadda yadda yadda.Check it out.If you dont like that I will refer you to a nice witch doctor who wont be measureing your head to shrink it
Bye for now
