Thursday, January 4: Fighting My Cold Brothers Brain Surgery

Last night I just couldn’t sleep that great. I slept OK, but I had weird 

dreams. It kinda kept me restless, and I kept having to answer the call Mother 

Nature. I did manage to gather up my garbage and put it out for Pat and I 

brought slippers and my powder for my damn feet issue I have. I got Mike’s close to being on time, but I had to change my password to the app because it just didn’t accept the password. 

I was copying&pasting for a few months. Anyway, I think I’m gonna postpone

 my activities for one more night just to double check myself. I did do 

an errand for Mike and got him some money for him to get food until his snap benefits



 come in. OK Mike’s a little bit and then I attempted to go home but when

 I got on the train, it only went to 3 8th St. and the train was delayed and stopped

 at 30th through had to get off and get a shuttle bus but I couldn’t get

 the shuttle bus so I just walked the rest of the Away 40th and decided some delicious

 Indian dinner that was really really fun. I’m glad I did that and I called the 21 

bus which was really packed as people who were still abandoned from the previous train problems 

due to someone falling in the tracks are being pushed in the tracks. I think 

got home and mellowed out for a little bit and attempted to get myself tired. It’s now 9:24 PM. I took all my stuff and I’m gonna try to go to bed now . Mike had brain surgery today. Everything

 went as well to be expected. Here’s the report:

The Dr just left. She said the surgery went well. She was able to get out the whole tumor and they will do radiation to be sure nothing spread. Although they think it's cancerous she said it's treatable - Adenocarcinoma. They didn't need to put in the external ventricular drain. Also they don't think the sinus lesion is connected but need that pathology.. Pet scan before he leaves on Sunday or Monday and radiation in two weeks. I should be able to see him in an hour. I'll update again soon.

Per Mary:Mike is in room 766 in ICU. He's sleeping and I'm heading home soon. He was talking and engaged.

that’s it for today

Wednesday January 3: Dental 🦷 Cleaning and Cold 🥶

🦷 🥶 after a wonderful sleep with a bedtime at 8 PM I got up at 8:30 AM 

and sorry we got dressed and got ready to head out to Mike’s. It’s close to 930 as I can. Well I didn’t do that great so I got to Mike’s 

around 10 AM, but I didn’t care. I’m not doing anything after my work so I’ll just stay till 4:00 PM today. Did a little cleanup at Mike’s and then went on 

over to my dentist appointment where I thought I was getting my tooth put in but they were just trying it on. And ended up being a full scale cleaning 

with cancer screening and fluoride. While they were at it, they noticed my tonsil left tonsil was inflamed, and they found an infection. one of my important teeth for my bridge so they put me on 

amoxicillin. so I went around to vendors looking for diet Pepsi‘s and I decided I’d get myself a Gyro since I’m not doing any yoga today so I can eat a filling meal. It is cold as hell out here. 

This is pretty much with January supposed to be but when it’s 45 to 50 for a 

week and a half straight just not used to it I think that’s why I got 




my cold and that switch temperatures. Fortunately Mary’s not sick but you know getting old these colds tend to last for a couple weeks instead of 

a couple days so I’m trying to defeat, the odds here. I ended up going home and taking my medicine and tried to sleep and it 
was more of a struggle go to sleep last night or today. Much going in for surgery for his tumor his brain tumor tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM. Let’s say our prayers.
