We did got to the Surgical Center, which is like some small hidden office behind Walgreens on 36th street, and Mark had his CVC taken out. Its a pretty simple and quick procedure. They numb it like you would a tooth and then they pull it out! They had to unstick adhered skin/scarring to the “cuff” of the lumen (and …
April 26th Our second episode came out. Its an interview with Cora and its priceless :). It went a little long but nothing that can’t be devoured in two driving sessions or two (or one) long walk. We have a third platform where you can listen to the podcast, Amazon Prime. (click on the blue and it will take you …
Tuesday April 19th So we did it… Now, we know there is a ton of room for improvement but we know that if you let all the little things hold you back from starting…you never start. So the name of the podcast changed 3 times and the one we are using right now may not stay but this is where …
Friday April 15th 2022 One of our morning commutes this week was super slow. We did everything the same but when we merged onto the highway it was very evident that we would be stuck in some slow traffic and would arrive much later to our appointment than we had anticipated. We wondered why that day was different than any …
April 8th Friday Yesterday was the appointment with the radiation oncologist. We like that office because you get attention and its not 2.5 hours away. She does talk alot…like repeats the same thing. I think she is high energy. I make this assumption from her movements…her abundance of words and that she looks like she is in athletic shape. Some …
April 4th I think its my dads birthday. I can never remember if its the 4th or 5th. There was a gal I went to school with, her name was Tyana. Her birthday is the 5th. It has alwasy messed me up since 2nd grade. Crazy…I know. He is 79 years old. Its weird to have your parents age into …
March 30 I’ve been waiting to hear back from the surgical center to see if Mark will need to have another small surgery to make his fistula work better or if its matured enough that we can start using it. When we had to meeting with Dr. DeJong he couldn’t see why we couldn’t use it but wanted to check …
March 28th Today is my moms’ birthday. I told her I would come see her and I haven’t yet so lets keep this short. I love the light the last two days but it has been so deceiving. I think if I go out in it, it will warm me up but it does no such thing. Yesterday, as I …
March 26th This week has been slightly rough as Mark often woke up sick. The immunotherapy can reak havoc on his system and the pink puke bucket has been close at all times. Today (Saturday) he seems to feel better. Thank goodness. He seems to have more energy and be more alert. He got some things listed on facebook and …
March 23rd 2022-Mark Linsley Palliative Care Hebrews 9:27-28 New International Version 27 “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.” “Palliative care (derived from the Latin root palliare, or …
