Well, I'm discovering how many pain tablets it takes to stop this pain, Way more than I've been told I can take.

This weekend is a series of sleep, pain killers, pain and trying to drink some water.

Living my Way

I love my life and don't regret any of the decisions I've made. But life if precious and for me, my cup is nearly empty.

Have the palliative nurses and doctors visiting me at home, Monday and Tuesday next week to see how best we deal with all this.

We seem to be living in a crazy, crazy world... Wars are so common they hardly make the news, coupled with everything else that's happening, it's crazy times.

Well I detoxed my Stoma again yesterday, that's twice in under a week. Just eating milkshakes today, and I'm taking it really easy. I feel so much better.

Love ❤ you all and remember when things look down, turn the issue around and look for the positive.

Numb hands and feet, some pain, no appetite, limited energy, but I'm here and happy for the most part.

Living my Way

I'm still in a happy place and looking every moment with those I love. Off to church soon which although painful at times, mask on, off, can't breath, pains, etc., I still take great pleasure from.

A happy day today 😉

@RedmondsRoom Love that and it brought a smile to my face..;)

Got it into my head that my stoma needed a good clean out, after endless laxatives and over a dozen full poop bag, I'm feeling somewhat better although th e pain isn't at all nice, sent to test me no doubt.

Who said life is full of glamour and ritz... ;)

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

@Melanie_Lane_NC It's a very hard journey, everyone of us deals with it the best we can. Once I found out that the chemo couldn't cure me I stopped it

Chemo is also used as a hope drug for patients and sometimes to manage pain.

There are no right or wrong answers, just bee there for each other

Living my Way.

Have new strength daily meds, let see if these help... although nothing is stopping me sleeping much, this is my new reality.

I did managed to do the stations of the cross today, thay always gives me such a lot... and is a real blessing.

Love you all ;)

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

@Mari_LynHarris I tend to live on protein shakes and water now...

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

Living my Way

Numb hands and feet
Small amount of pain
No appetite, last meal Friday

I can't believe how much my body wants to sleep, it's more of a battle to stay awake than to sleep.

Another day of snoozing I'm guessing.

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

@powertiesbiz Nope he didn't like that.... ;)

Just spoke with Oncologist, cancer is progressing wants me on Chemo. I said no thanks, it doesn't matter if I die tomorrow I'm not going back on it, to which he replied, what does your wife think?

A well oiled Chemo machine the who cancer business seems at times

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

@meadowsalestech Lots better without it, I lose my mental health while on chemo...

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

Living my Way

Numb hands and feet, no appetite, a little pain. Off for blood tests today, speaking with Oncologist on Wednesday.

Let's all think of someone we know, that we haven't been in touch with for a while. Call them and ask them how's things?

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

@Jolz_Aust I don't like obligations, my intention, I will not go... it's all about you, stop it, make your relationship with God about love, the love he has for you and you have for him.

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

@Jolz_Aust @john_law_3 @Walsingham1061 Sounds like something different...

There is only one catholic church, if you wish to go to heaven you are a member if you aren't a member you aren't going to heaven.

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

@LuisaMariaAraiz Haha I ended up in bed this afternoon, wife went I'm going for a doze and bang I was asleep... ;)

[Steve Cartwright @FX_Digital]

Living my Way

Numb hands and feet, feeling tired.

Just had a coffee in bed, said my rosary and now I'm contemplating showering and goin off to Mass.

Hope you all have an awesome Sunday ;)
