Yes. Way overdue. But my brother's wedding is in 3 weeks so holding off until a week or so beforehand.

Childhood leukemia

I got home from work a little over an hour ago. Had a bowl of ice cream.
Yeah, I'm tired as heck and I'll certainly regret it in the morning. But, when you have four young kids, this is the only free time you get some days.

Had hernia surgery couple years ago

It got me with tears on my face.

The music playing, the emotion on the characters' faces culminating from all the happenstance things leading to that moment.....amazing.

Does a hernia hurt?

The hernia itself caused me no pain. A little discomfort as I could feel my innards popping out.
Surgery was a bit painful but I didn't need any pain meds myself.

A couple of times when I was young to put in/remove a port and a couple years ago for a hernia repair.

Neat

The Delta Flyers podcast started doing a rewatch/review of DS9 now that they finished Voyager. Each week Terry Farrell or Armin Shimmerman join as well.
A fun way to rewatch the series.

Until our final breath
The joy and pain that we receive
Must be what we deserve
I was brought up to believe.

I remember enjoying The Jungle. Probably helped that the teacher I had was great when we were going through that book.

How would you figure listening to your body, per se? I know it's probably different for everybody, but what would you do?

Maybe it was more from my mindset of when I was a 10 year old. But i remember wanting to continue to do 10 year old things but the body wouldn't allow it due to fatigue. Especially true in the early days of heavy chemo.
It takes a bit to adjust to the new normal per se. If there is a choice between doing something not necessary vs resting, don't worry about choosing resting.

And, spinal taps and bone marrow shots were no fun but I got used to them. Kinda tells you how many I had
Good luck

I survived ALL cancer when I was younger, some 30 odd years ago.

Just keep on fighting...listen to your body (chemo sucks your energy big time).

You got this!

Tough. But bye bye chips.

I get 17 free movie tickets per month and 50% off food/drinks as well.

Yep. Had some good storms go through N. Illinois around 7pm. Sirens went off south of me. A good 10 minutes of hail. And after all that, I expect to wake up to snow on the ground tomorrow morning.

I don't post much in your topics....hell, I infrequently post at all, but I do read your updates as they come.

I wish nothing but the best for you on your journey!

If you only eat from Pizza Hut then youll get sick of it pretty quickly, Id imagine.

I worked at Domino's for 13 years in my teens/20s. I still eat it often enough 20 years later.

If my team isn't in it, I don't really care. If I'm not working, I'll watch it. If I am working I don't care I'm missing it.

Brief tornado in western IL too. Crazy weather the past month or so.

Yes, but accidentally voted no.

I eat them regularly.
