My cancer journey

[Ed_K]

 I had problems with the platelet's by the time the 21st rolled around the platelet's were down to 31. The doctor that was to do the operation and my oncology doctor met and decided to go ahead with the port. The next day I had an IV to get the Emplicti injection using the port, it went well. But the drug has a side effect on me that makes me wicked tired. So I've been sleeping 16 hrs a day.
 Trouble with this is work needed done before sugaring season is getting slowed down while I heal up. Doctor's told me no lifting my arm past my shoulder and no lifting of anything more than 5 lbs for 10 day. But I will survive.

 Y'all have a great day.

Hang in there Ed, don't over do it. Just one of them hurdles. You'll soon jump over it and it will be behind you.

You are one tough man, I tip my hat to you sr.

Good luck with the healing up part.
Sugaring, spring is coming.

 I'm noticing that my thought process is going down hill. I have a sometimes 3 minute pause before I remember what a certain word or phrase comes to me, It's getting really depressing.
 Anyone have any ideas on how to get my thought process back.

 Y'all have a great day.

My thought process has been gone for so long that we will be new friends if we ever meet again.

lots of gimmicks so hard to know.  could be side effects of some of your treatment/meds.  Keep using that brain to try to keep sharp.  I have the same issue at times, especially bad with names.

I can't quite remember what I've read about memory issues.   
Oh, yea.  Things like crossword puzzles, Wordle, Ken-Ken etc. can help keep the brain circuits in line.  Just do what's "fun".  My wife does crosswords and she's definitely better on coming up with words than I am.

I've decided it comes with age and loss of the old gray matter. Like the rubber on the tires, it wears away and it ain't comin back. May be treatment related too.

If you have a smart phone, download the NY Times game app. I just use the free version. I like Sudoku and Connections. Really makes your brain work out! It has a bunch of different games that you can play once a day.
