Next chemo infusion is 1/21 and you know what the outdoor temp will be. I'll be wearing an extra layer to stay warm while outdoor and might help during the treatment. Here's something that in my brain late yesterday and I don't care for it. Small businesses and others that charge a card user fee I pay with cash to save me or them the 4% charge. I sent $60 with my granddaughter to pay a $55 water bill. I sent my card with her to pay the $288 electric bill at Kroger. I got the bank statement yesterday. I have a $55 and $2 charge for the water bill. The $288 charge for the electric bill, which is fine and $22 charge at Freddie's. I've wanted to go there since they opened near us but with the eating disorder I've stayed away. Guess she thinks I wouldn't find it.

Wish I was closer than Horn Lake, MS for some Large pistol primers.

I've gone as low as 2.4 gr Bullseye, 120 gr RNL using a magnum primer. Good for 5 to 15 yards plinking.

On the last head doctor visit I was shown the MRI taken that morning. The tumor is gone. I can't do much since the wife keeps the house cold. Only 2 places I can stay warm is the bathroom and bed. With the weight loss and chemo I stay cold all the time. I'm sleeping in fleece pants and flannel shirt, on an electric mattress pad set on 5 and under an electric blanket set on 3, sometimes I wake up cold and increase their heat. My son bought an electric heat throw on the first chemo treatment and it help a lot while taking the drugs. My hands stay white and cold, my feet stay cold.

It's been a while for an update. Tumors are caused by a cancer. The head doctor sent me to West clinic to be checked out. Since I was having a hard time eating a Petz tube was implanted. That took 4 months, 5 hospital visits for the right doctor to get it done. More doctor and hospital bills. West clinic doctor says I have esophagus cancer. I could get food to where the cancer is located, but not into my stomach. Finally got a Petz scan and a port in my left should for infusions. They started every 2 weeks at the first of December. My first meal I could eat was New Years Day, peas, cabbage, ham hock and cornbread. Tiny bites and lots of chewing to make it fine. Soak the cornbread in the peas made it easier. I ended up cooking 3 pans of cornbread and 3 pots of peas. Friday, with lots of snow coming down I cooked a pot of mild chili and more cornbread. No problem eating, just small bites and lots of chewing. 2- 2 quart containers in the freezer and 2 in the fridge after I had 2 bowls for dinner. I finished off the fridged one's last night. Monday I'll go to West clinic for my 5th infusion. They start about 9 or 10 am and finish about 4 pm. I wear a portable IV pump home and a return visit to have it removed 2 days later. Both days wear me out. I'm not ready to do anything until Saturday or Sunday. The first visit of December I was down to 99 pounds. I'm up 120 today. Weak, I do very little around here and lots of naps.

Late call yesterday. I go to West clinic in Southaven Monday for a visit. Tuesday I go to Vascular Interventional Physicians. They'll use radiation to install the feeding tube.

The gastro doctor gave me a cleanout drug to be taken 9/24 and 25th for the 9/26 pet scan and scope. That stuff is a nasty sweet fruit flavor with lots of salt. 1 pack of mix in 16 oz of water, refill the jar with 16 oz water and drink it. I got 4 sips down on the 24th. Dranked lots of water after. Opened the box on the 25th, I dranked lots of water instead. The scope didn't happen on the 26th. October 3rd, at the hospital for a feeding tube implant. Nope, stomach isn't where it's supposed to be. Afraid he'll hit the heart or lung. He expanded my esophagus so I can eat. Nope, I gagged on a grape. Waiting for more info within the week.

Tuesday the dermatologist removed a cyst about as large as my thumb from my right shoulder blade. Sleeping isn't fun right now. The PT doctor wants to know if an xray of my back has been made. None that I know of. Couldn't eat breakfast or dinner.

I went through about 15 appliance repair websites. Most want your money before answering your question. I found that the start button doubles as the error reset button. I held it in for 10 seconds and the error was gone and the washer is working right again. Visit with the PT yesterday. Says my back has a twist. Wants to see an xray but can't order one. Will call one of the other doctors and might get one. Selling brass casings cheap I got from the range. One order to fill and I'll be out of most.

Double probe at Gastro One is set for 9/26. I can call and check on openings between now and then. I have a 9 day count down on the drug pack they sent me. West clinic visit is set for 10/7, might get to change it too. I loaded the washer yesterday. Hit the power button and the selection I wanted, the light went out. CLn is on the display. The washer started without hitting the start button. After washing for 30 minutes I unplugged it. Let it set for 2 hours and plugged it back in. Hit the power button and it starts washing without hitting the start button. The door is locked, can't get to the data plate for the model number. I'll be clearing a path to get it outdoors. Lowes and Home Depot have the Entergy Star on sale today. Order one and wait for delivery.

Thanks Ken, guess I won't be there.

Gastro One needs a release from my heart doctor before test can be set up. For some reason they sent it to the wrong doctor. I can't remember if his name was ever asked. I don't know if there's a doctor by that name at Stern's in the Memphis area. Don't know why the crew at Stern's didn't look at my name and DOB and transfer it to my doctor. Now I'm over a week behind on tests.

I made it through the gamma knife yesterday. My head is a little sore where the screws of the halo were set. Still waiting on Gastro One to call for test.

Need more info.

Sportsman's Warehouse shows they have Winchester for $18 per box.

I was helping my wife yesterday, seems she gets in worse shape than I sometimes. I missed a call 10:40 am from the GI doctor. Called the number back in 12 minutes, got a recording. Left the info they wanted and have been waiting on a return call since. Hope to get a recall soon.

Directv removed 2 channels I liked at the same time, that's when I stopped watching tv. The channels were Speed and Out Front.

The visit with the Kemo doctor went pretty good. Said they put a stain of different cancers on the tumor tissue to determine where the cancer comes from. It's not quite the right color for colon cancer. He's sending me to a GI asap for a pet scan to see if the cancer is in my stomach.

I looked back for the number of the post about brass. There're no numbers on the post like sone website have. So it's "Posted Monday at 09:26 AM". I'm not trying to make a living from the sales, just passing time and helping others with a good fair price. I have lots of calibers not claimed yet. I've finished sorting all the casings, just got go back and sort like 40 S&W from 10mm. I tried the pizza again for leftover dinner. I got half of the first piece down then ate the toppings from the rest. Expecting phone calls I've had my phone on me all the time. No calls so far from GI and PT doctors. The online auction site posted 60 photos of items that would be offered last night, I watch it on zoom. Prices went cheap on some items. Not knowing when I'd be able to pick them up I let them pass.

Yesterday while out of my computer room I missed the comp call from West Clinic. I hate these kind of dealings on my phone. Monday will be the new visit. Hope they don't call again. The head nurse called about the heart doctor's drug list I faxed her. What's Furosemide for? Legs and feet swelling. I'll check with the doctor and call you back. A bit later, can you be at the hospital soon? We want an image of your legs, looking for blockage. They didn't find anything and released me at 4:05 pm. We stopped at Papa John's for dinner I got a piece of pep pizza, had to heat it a few times while I ate it and gagged on most every bit. Had a second piece too. Pizza heated a few times at 15 seconds gets hard fast. Half of each piece ended with me eating the toppings and the pup got the crust. The rifle brass sorting is getting close to the end. Someone on the gulf coast sent a list of all he wants in rifle and pistol. I have a 2 gallon bucket to sort through again for the ones he wants that wasn't sorted the first time. I have gallon bags of sorted casings that aren't being asked for. I should start on pistol casings later today. There are a few rifle casings in those 7 buckets too.

My heart doctor's visit was 8/26, called and got it changed to 8/6. Gave the nurse the hospital release papers with change of drugs. Weight 145, guess some food I eat is doing good. Heart rate 67, highest it's been in a while. The doctor checked it again at the end of our meeting, 64 still good. EKG, they said it looked good. Changed the dosage of one drug and added another back at a lower dosage. Will call the head doctor's nurse about the changes. I got back to the lobby and the head doctor's nurse called. We can get you in for the gamma knife on 8/8. Let me check on a ride. Text the kids, short notice can't take off from work. So things are back as they were. Forgot to say anything about the drug changes, asked about the GI and PT doctors, I should be hearing from them this week. 8/2022 I had an EKG with scope at the heart doctor's office, I know it has another name, I got the bill from Baptist Medical group and paid it face to face with a printed receipt. 8/2023 I had another one done. I haven't got a bill yet. I got a call from a collection service wanting to talk with me at another address. All the information she has is me but at that address. She has to talk to that person. My granddaughter enters the Baptist Medical group address into her phone. It should be less than 2 miles from the doctor's office. Nope, it gave us a 16 mile round trip. I paid the ER doctor's bill that I've received, Check on wife's bills, none. Asked about the EKG bill. Not my address, can't take payment. A stop at the dentist to pay on a bill. I said something about the acid reflex I have. That's why you're losing your teeth. Guess brushing 4 times a day isn't enough. A stop at Kroger for a few things since we didn't shop the weekend. Cash from the bank so I could get new tags and pay water bill. They charge 3.95% using a card, saved me $22.40. Back home to sort brass casings.
