Cant wait to meet my Great Nephew!

03/06/2024

I came home after a long day at work and with excitement and joy I was greeted by Kenzie, my 12 year old Yorkie Poo, but not Kuddles with a K. I walked upstairs and found her not in her doggie bed but on the floor. Her breathing was labored and her blind eye was open and staring at me. I started to well up "Oh no Kuddle Bear is this your time"? I immediately thought "S**t"! I have such a busy day, I am not ready to take you to the vet to put you down. I don't think I can handle calling the kids right now. A flood of emotions and memories of Joe's journey started to flow through my brain. I used to pray for Joe to hang on for just a few more days so that Emily could finish up nursing school. The kids would be home from college in just a few days. I would plead and beg for him to wait to die until the timing was right for everyone. In the end Joe did grant me that wish. But now I sit next to my Mom's dog who is half blind and has bladder cancer. She was given 6 months to a year to live. We are way past the six month mark so I know it's coming. I was softly petting her head. I didn't know what to do. So I poked her. Suddenly, she then raised her head and jumped up. Her tail started wagging through her doggie diaper. She gave me the biggest smile and looked at me and said through her one good eye. "Hell No! This ain't my time"!!!! She was just sleeping. A deep, rem beauty sleep!

Let's play ball! Mets home opener day is almost here. This event has so many different meanings to me. My mother loved baseball and claimed to have gone to every Mets home opener since 1953. FYI the Mets organization came into creation in 1962. I was always worried about her going to the game. Would she be cold and catch a chill? Her back! How long would it take her to physically recover from climbing those stairs. She refuse to sit in the handicap section. When something good happened and everyone stood up she couldn't see. It took her too long to get up out of her seat and she missed the play. Plus there's no wave in the handicap section. She like to sit in the first row. The section didn't matter as long as she was part of the action. Every year that day and the Mets made my Mom very happy. So we would just enjoy and rolled with it.
Last year, and I can't believe it has been a year the home opener cause me so much stress. That beautiful April day was Sue's choice. Take Joe home on hospice and get the help I needed for him to make the transition into heaven or no hospice and try the new medication that would eventually save his life. Looking back it really wasn't a choice. Two outs, top of the ninth, game seven of the world series. Down by one, tying man on first, winning run at the plate. Three-two is the count. Would anyone walk away and call It a day. No! The pressure, the odds. Your going swing that bat and dream, hope and pray for victory. In reality I was just hoping for a walk and that's kind of what happen. I needed him to live until the girls graduated from college. I needed him to survive long enough so that we could all be together and just be. After several fly balls he did make It to first base. Infection after infection led to more hospital stays but somehow he made it home. Stepped on the base and scored. Joe may have not hit the ball out of the park but he is winning his the game against Pancreatic cancer. Everyday he's alive that big apple rises from the top hat. Let's go Mets! #

I'm having a bit of writers block. I'd love to say that my world is calm but I'm doing things subconsciously to sabotage that. I'm waiting to the last minute to make phone calls and pay bills. Thriving on that last minute relief as serotonin rushes through my brain.
I did manage to get away. Emily and I flew down to Florida. We stayed with my sister in law Kathy. She lives in a 55 plus community living my dream life. Wake up, go for a walk then hop in the golf cart to the beach. Go home have some lunch and then spend the afternoon in the heated pool! Mahjong every Wednesday! Ahhh one day! I got to see my boy and crash Natalie's spring break. Joe was not able to make the trip. It's the chemo. His mornings are bad. He usually bounces back mid day. Unfortunately we couldn't convince him to come. At the moment chemo is the drug that is saving his life. I should feel grateful but I despise what It does to the rest of his body. Part of me wants it to fail so he can start the next drug. But then there is no guarantee the next medication will work. So what does one hope and pray for? Cancer can move through the body so fast and just take and take and take. We can't let that happen so we fight. Our lives are just different. Not one that I imagined nor envisioned just one that we are living. Lustgarten Foundation] Lustgarten Foundation] Surviving pancreatic cancer for 41/2 years.
