Fever Pitch

Over the last week I went into the hospital for what I thought was going to be a leg bypass and turned out to be a battle with a fever. If you have a bad fever you should go to the doctor or ER but don't go in unless you are in need of there help. I went in hoping to get my leg bypass and they decided to keep me for fever like symptoms. I stayed in there with a 100-101 fever for a week. I had to have a full 24 hours without have any kind of fever. Well i got out monday and my new surgery date is set for Tuesday. This didn't happen. I now have to wait a few weeks for my doctor to get back from vacation so that I can have my bypass. Luckily with hard work from my mother my wounds are looking better by the day and hoping that the bypass is just something that will speed them up.

I am now home trying to get some work done with my leg in some pain and not being able to get my self in the right mind or position that makes my leg feel good. that it makes it hard. I just need to suck it up and make calls and not worry so much about my leg.

Mid April is when I will have my bypass till then I am going to work on my leg and try and make some money. Thanks and I love you all

Long time no post

Sorry about the length of time between posts. I have no good reason to be honest with with you, Just guess I forgot, or thought that people didn't want to waste their time reading my blog. I know I try and keep in touch with most of you by Facebook, email, phone, or personal contact but I should keep this up to date just to make sure I know what is going on with my life.

So this up coming week is huge for me. Today I had a CT of my chest and lungs to make sure the cancer has not came back. Monday I will have a MRI of my leg to make sure the cancer has not struck back in the same spot. On tuesday if both come back clear I will have a bypass surgery on my leg that will make my circulation better (normal). If successful I will be able to have my wounds on my foot heal and hope that I can get my leg straight (from my knee contractor) and become a normal human. If the bypass doesn't work, well that means that I may lose my leg. I of course am hoping this doesn't happen.

I am in good spirits and the puppy is growing and the wedding planning I couldn't tell you. I am trying to stay as far away from the wedding details as possible. I hope that it just happens and I just show up. Well I am watching this crazy basketball that is going on so I hope all is well with you and yours.

Round down and out

I am out of the hospital and ready to be done with chemo. Ready to be done with cancer. I am so ready to be done with my leg problems and ready to move away from this thing that has consumed my life. I have some more things to get done like my leg bypass which will be in a few weeks and if that works I will need my wounds to start to heal.

The bypass seems to be a routine surgery but with the radiation damage in my leg it may be harder than expected. If this fails then I may have to have my leg taking off...Which sounds bad but really I am just glad I can say I survived cancer and it took some of me with it but I survived. If I am able to say that at the end of all this then I am one happy person.

I am growing up. I am engaged. My best friend is buying a house out is Seattle. All my friends are having babies. I mean my buddy Hern is about to have a baby girl next month or late this one. I am one grown up dude. I am happy that Chemo is done and to be honest with the whole experience has made me a better person. I love the people that are placed around me and I am happy that you have gotten me this far. Just a few more steps and we can be rid of this monster. Thanks again for your support

The last stay

I am fully checked in at the hotel Beaumont ready for my week to begin. So far so good. For the first time PT showed up the first day I am here, normally its wed or thurs when they finally arrive. I am more than excited that this will and is my last round of chemo. Then I have some work to do on my leg/foot and maybe the nightmare will end.

I am ready for the ride to be over. This has been the roughest year of my short life. I stay positive no matter what is dealt to me I have to. No needs to tell me its alright or you'll be ok I know it and I have one more round to put behind me. Life is not easy I have learned that and I will never take for granted one breath I take. Being unable to walk for 6 months makes me feel lucky that I am able to just get around.

Thank you's must be giving and you all know who you are that have been there no matter what I needed through this hard fought battle. I love you all and thank you for getting me though this I know without family and friends I would have been doomed. I hope the next update I will be out of the hospital bragging that I am done with chemo!!!

Love

Scott
