It’s been a hectic last few weeks. As most of you know I opened my own little Nationwide agency on March 1 and have been busy attempting to get clients and get my name and face out in the community and social media-sphere so that when YOU think insurance YOU think THIS GUY! It’s actually [...]

Alone Again – May 5, 2005 – Day 28 – Week 4
Posted in Cancer, Chemo, Hospital, Lis on May 6, 2005 | 2 Comments »
The stage has been set. The machines have beeped their last beep. The medications have all drained out. At last Lis stands alone with just the catheter in her chest and a couple of IV’s hanging from her wrist. She no longer needs to bring a “buddy” into the bathroom. She can go at it [...]
Mentally Exhausted – May 3, 2005 – Day 26
Posted in Cancer, Chemo, Hospital, Lis, Mom on May 5, 2005 | 3 Comments »
I’m spent. Mentally exhausted. The weekend brought so much promise and now its back to the usual. Monday Lis was tired and I spent maybe two hours there cause she was asleep the entire time. Today, she was sleeping for most of the night. She woke up around 8pm though and showed flashes of the [...]
She’s Back! – April 30, 2005 – Day 23
Posted in Cancer, Chemo, Hospital, In-Laws, Lis on May 5, 2005 | 6 Comments »
What a difference a day makes. When I last wrote Lis wasn’t really coherent. She was like that on Wednesday, Thursday, and half of the day on Friday. When I saw her last night (Friday) she was good. Laughing, joking, looking like someone doped up on drugs but fun to be around. It’s kind of [...]
Sleepy Girl – April 28, 2005 – Day 21 – Week 3

Welcome to Week 3 of Lis with Leukemia. When I last wrote I talked about how Lis has gone into remission. The cancer has supposedly left the building and Lis is on the way up. Well, if you looked at her you couldn’t tell that was the case. Poor Lis. She’s drugged up 23 hours [...]
Remission – April 26, 2005 – Day 19

This morning Lis called to tell me that she was scared. Today would be the day she found out if the cancer was still alive in her body. I told her I was scared too but I think she’s going to be okay. I wasn’t too nervous before that, I guess I tried not to [...]
Tomorrow is THE Day – April 25, 2005 – Day 18

Today Lis was pretty much out of it. She awoke for a bit to try the Ixtapa food I brought her, but my parents called and I met them down in the cafeteria and ate with them. When we got back she was asleep. Again, another wasted moment I could’ve spent with Lis. What is [...]

I’m not going to write too long cause munchkin is still awake (it’s 11:30pm) and won’t fall asleep. He’s rolling around the floor here laughing. He’s so funny! And cute! What a wonderful baby! I think I’ll try to get him into commercials. Sara shaved Lis’ head today. It doesn’t look too bad. I kind [...]
A Most Depressing Day – April 21, 2005 – Day 14 – Week 2
Posted in Cancer, Chemo, Hospital, Lis on May 5, 2005 | 1 Comment »
This was one of the most depressing days since this ordeal has started and oddly most of the depressing stuff didn’t come from Lis. However, the day started off kind of rough due to Lis. She called sounding really upset. The x-rays on her intestines had come back and she had an inflammation in there [...]
AML – Attacking My Lisy – April 20, 2005 – Day 13

Another odd and disturbing story that I will not share with Lis. Bev knew of someone that went through chemo. A client in the office. She decided to call this client. The client’s husband answered the phone and told her that the client had passed away last Saturday. Ouch! What exactly did she have? Bev [...]
