If y'all see Rich roaming the halls

Someone stole my slice of chocolate pie!!

Just kidding. I'm having a small bit of fun with my current situation. My pastor came to visit earlier, and we read some from the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. Quite boring to be laid up, but im regaining my strength. I am thankful my brother called in a welfare check, i had no clue my back was fractured, and my infections had roared back to life but this time they had picked up a hitchhiker named MRSA.

Medicare has me at a skilled nursing facility, it is 100% covered by my insurance, unfortunately, they (insurance) cannot cover my radiation/chemo treatments too. So once I am done with the 20 days, I'm paying 100% out of pocket for a decent hotel which provides me with roll-in shower, housekeeping, and is affordable. Then i can resume my insurance covered treatments (radiation = 17 @ 5 days per week, Labs/Chemo is four left @ 1 per week) and can utilize a driver/laundry person for a month.

I should be ringing the remission bells and be cancer-free. No more feeding tube, tracheostomy, or other life-interrupting changes.

The recent activities hit my stocks perfectly, pushing a small but welcome profit into my portfolio and freed up a nice slice of green pie to afford this endeavor. I am tired, and am wrapping up for the evening (shut-eye).

Beating this is just a formality now. You have approached this in an inspiring way. As I slough along with my own treatments you are always fondly in my heart and with me.

Thank you for posting all of this. It has kept my chin off the ground. Prayers continue upwards.

At a loss of words when I saw this...caption of you!:rflmao:

Ya gotta get this photo "registered" of this mental-moment. And do get copy-rights if it turns into a TV series, Rob.

So glad to see that your positive morale hasn't slipped,:thumbsup: as it means so much to your health system in the way of immune support!


Hang in there, m'8.

God bless,

I will carry your spirits (and everyone else) through everything and beyond as we work through this gut-punch life altering reality that tossed our regularly scheduled chaotic life into a Waring blender of emotions.

I've been alone a large majority of my life. Not really the life i had planned, nor wanted but there it is, 66+ years lived, with my faith and integrity, knowing that I have not finished His work.

I do not see much online at any of my favorite site, (AKA AK or AudioKarma.org) so I decided to just talk to y'all about it.

How was I surprised, i hope this gives future folks something to grab onto, a view of this new chaos to help them along their journey while i learn from those already on the path.

My courage and strength are derived from my faith, my comfort and encouragement is from y'all.

We all truly are just walking each other home, hopefully i regain use of my left leg, i have regained the flexibility and strength (mostly) in my right.

Absolutely and without doubt. So much appreciate you decided to just talk to us'all about it. Prayers for your health and comfort. F cancer. To life. Praise God.
 
Rob, it is wonderful, despite the serious setbacks of falling, broken back and MRSA infection, to learn of your progress and the developments in your living and healthcare situation. As you know, prayers continue for all your needs.
Bob

As an aside, if allowed: buglegirl, prayers are lifted up for you daily, as they are for Rob.
