kld photos and thoughts: Welcoming Spring
http://kldphotos.blogspot.com/2016/03/welcoming-spring.html
Kld photos and thoughts. Monday, March 28, 2016. I am not religious, so I have often wondered "do I have the right to celebrate Easter? I grew up thinking Easter meant egg hunts, the Easter bunny, and of course, the homemade baskets my mom made, filled with candy and small toys. And most of all, Easter meant the beginning of spring, which is great news when you live in upstate NY. First, we did a little clue hunt at my house. He LOVED this. And some small toys. The Easter Bunny hid 63 eggs in the yard!

Kld photos and thoughts. Tuesday, May 3, 2016. Just a very quick update because I am actually alert and NOT surrounded by 70 people. I have decided to end treatments and I am now in hospice care.

Kld photos and thoughts. Tuesday, March 29, 2016. ER trip number 6. But this time it was just because I didn't have anything better to do*.

kld photos and thoughts: How I got Here
http://kldphotos.blogspot.com/2016/05/how-i-got-here.html
Kld photos and thoughts. Sunday, May 15, 2016. How I got Here. How I got here, Part 1. I am going to start on March 28th. After October 2014 I had cancer, but after the week of March 28th? Cancer had me. Sure, I had some horrid days in between, but nothing like what I am going through now. I wish I had the super power of looking into the future. Tuesday, March 29th was also normal. I was bored. We went for a small car ride. I hated on my chemo pump. The silver nitrate, which causes a temporary chemical b...

kld photos and thoughts: What is hospice for $2000, Alex?
http://kldphotos.blogspot.com/2016/05/what-is-hospice-for-2000-alex.html
Kld photos and thoughts. Thursday, May 19, 2016. What is hospice for $2000, Alex? What even is hospice care? After I announced I was moving to hospice care I received many texts. Some read:. 8220;Are they treating you nice there? Yes, hospice can be a place. Supposedly here in Charlotte it's like checking into a 5 star lodge. If I get minimally sicker I might go there to repair. But most people choose to stay home. The day I left the oncologist office a case worker came to see me. Yes, same day! Yes I th...
