First, let me say I am more than pleased in how my chemo and radiation treatments have been going. No nausea at all from the chemo and outside the pain from the arthritis in my shoulders holding my arms over my head for 15 to 20 minutes during radiation, I am not suffering much at all. Oh, I am down in the dumps at times and have fatigue to the max. I am sleeping about 16 hours a day.
All in all, the whole experience has been much better than I ever expected and all thanks to you all who gave me their prayers and support. I am so thankful to y'all!
Now, back at the ranch-- Coronavirus Insanity is real! The drive by media and the DemocRATS, never letting a crisis go to waste, are trying with all their might to kick fear into hyper-drive against President Trump and the Republicans and a part of it has hit close to home--
Hell, it has hit home right here in Corsicana, Texas, 56 miles south of Big D.
I went out for my last radiation treatment for the week at noon and then went down to the local HEB Grocery to get some milk. Now, granted, I have not been out and about much other than to get my chemo and radiation treatment, but as I drove up to HEB the parking lot was crammed to the brim.
Finally finding a parking spot, I made it inside and found an empty handicap cart and entered a land of folks filling grocery carts to the brim. Oh, I was able to get milk, yet I found there was not a roll of toilet paper to be found. Just a whole wall of empty racks where it should be stocked. Nor was there any hand sanitizer either. And thinking of my need to use distilled water in my COPD unit I went to get a couple of gallon jugs. Yep, the water section was just as empty as the toiler paper area.
I waited in line for nearly 20 minutes to pay for my milk and a couple of other things and then went down the street to Brookshires' discount brand grocery and found they were also out of water, too.
I realized I had several extra distilled jugs at home, so I figure I'll try again early in the morning when the trucks make their grocery deliveries. Getting home, I took the two distilled jugs I used as drinking water out of the fridge to save for my COPD. I filled up four empty jugs with water from the sink faucet and put them in the fridge for drinking.
TP and Distilled Water!
Excellent hunting, my FRiend.
Glad to hear that you found the “Holy Grail”, Danny!
I also had the same success at our Costco store, yesterday! All I had to do was to get out of the rack at 0400 and then scoot my keister over to that store to get into the Venezuela style line for the Costco “Old Fart’s Club” and their 0800 opening! Word must have gotten out because I was number 62, going in! That said, I was able to score a 30 roll package of Charim Ultra Soft as well as a 12 pack of Bounty paper towels!
The things I do to keep Mama happy!
God continues to bless! Hang in there, brother! We will see this through!
Declaring you will be cancer free in the Name of JESUS. By JESUS’ stripes we were healed!
Lord I pray all these trends continue, especially the tolerance to chemo.
Good health news! Do take care.
We look forward to purchases becoming more available here in VA. :-)
Getting a bit easier to find some TP these days but the locusts are still at it.
More prayers up and a deep appreciation of your solid attitude and sense of humor on your trying times.
Stay well and get better, FRiend.
Great news, Danny!!!
Excellent, Danny! Who knew that toilet paper was going to be a hot commodity? :)
Or that being a bit of a hoader was going to be a blessing?
These are strange times. :)
Glad to hear that you were able to refill your toilet paper and distilled water supplies. I live in Rome, New York, and it hasn’t been too bad thankfully. I actually found Hostess Chocolate Cupcakes this week at my local grocery store. My prayers will continue to be sent your way, and I hope you have a good weekend!! Take care, and God Bless!!
What brand of tp did you get? Our HEB has been out for right at a month. Now, they’re supposed to have some off brand no one has ever seen and you’re only allowed one 6 pack.
It was HEB brand six 1,000 sheet rolls
Thank you for the update. Yes, Prayers are very powerful and God knows far more than we can reason. I am so happy to hear good progress in your situation. Hugs and more prayers.
I hope I’m not intruding on you and I pray you are doing fine. Haven’t seen an update lately and was thinking of you.
Prayers up
BB
Take care and God Bless--
Danny
Hang in there. Don’t let it get you down. You are fighting a battle. Eating when things have no taste is like passing ammunition to the front line. Gotta give the guys something to fight with. You know you are in our prayers.
Danny, get some nutritious shakes in you. They may not taste good, but you must eat to keep the good cells healthy. Stay away from sugar, as it feeds cancer.
HEALING is in the WORD! Declaring GOD’S Promises on Your behalf...
PSALM 91
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in Whom I trust.”
3
Surely He will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4
He will cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you will find refuge;
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9
If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11
For He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14
“Because he loves Me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges My Name.
15
He will call on Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him My salvation.”
