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.

Thanks for the update, Danny! Still praying for you.
Prayers up for you.
I agree with the idea of the milkshakes/nutrition shakes! Aren’t the doctors advising you on what you should be eating right now? I’d hope so!
Just do it! We need you! :)
I'll ask for your guardian angel to hang closer to you and help you get some food in your system.
Prayers lifted Danny... May God give you strength. courage and comfort... and healing!
Continued prayers uplifted for your complete recovery, Danny! This entire Chinavirus bravo sierra is getting on everybody’s nerves and I can only imagine how hard it must be for you with your cancer. Be strong and keep your faith, brother. You can beat this and with God’s love, you will!
God Bless you!
Thank you for the update. I was just thinking about you yesterday. You are in my daily prayers.
What you describe sounds typical for someone undergoing this treatment. Hope you get relief soon.
Prayers continue.
Hang in there, Danny! I cannot imagine how tough it must be. I will keep you in my prayers

Dear Merciful Heavenly Father, we humbly beseech thee O Lord to look through eyes of mercy and grace upon Your son Danny who needs You. Please O Lord will You place Your hand of healing upon him and bless him with peace, comfort and strength to persevere? In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
A Friend of our died of the Kung Flu. His Wife of forty years was only allowed to Facetime him as he laid dying in his Hospital Bed while on a Ventilator.
She said her goodbyes and that was it. He was Buried and there was no Graveside Service.
Prayers for your Sister and your Family my FRiend.
My husband went through chemo, radiation, a 9 hr surgery and more chemo and was the best patient, ever, and I swear part of it was the doting by nurses and personnel and his daughters were there almost all the time.
Praying for a complete recovery for you.
Danny, you and your family are in my daily thoughts and prayers.
Hang in there partner. Better times ahead.
