JON IS HERE

 A very quick post. I have a very bad Internet connection in this room - which is why I haven't posted. I finished one week of radiation and have possibly three weeks to go.

I will post whenever possible.

Love, Jon 😺❤️

I'll write in much more detail when or if I get a decent connection. I have to go to Cookeville early every morning for radiation. It is extremely grueling. I am absolutely exhausted.

If your comments dont appear, I'll keep checking whenever possible. Dealing with nameless anonymity is a bitch.

    1. Some anonymous jackass left a comment saying I was dead. I ain't pushing daisies yet.

  3. I see you're hanging in there. It's so frustrating to have a poor connection, so I'm glad you were able to post even briefly. Roll on the end of the radiation series. So good to hear from you, because I've been wondering.

    1. With all the radiation I'm having, I'll be able to send electric signals. Thanks, Liz.

  4. Never having witnessed its effects (back in 2013), I never would have guessed radiation therapy is so very Grueling.
    Thank you for letting us know you're still fighting.

    1. The radiation is painless and mild - - but the hour-long (one way) trip to Cookeville is really grueling. Thanks, Myra.

  8. I hope your radiation is successful. No more for me. I'm done with all that. This is a decision this 84 year old has made. I'm exhausted enough as it is. I can't get any more exhausted. Good luck to you Jon. Can't wait until you return to your home again.

    1. I really want to go home, but I have radiation treatments most of this month, and then physical therapy for my back and legs. Good to hear from you, Donna.

    1. That's logical advice. I try to expunge the negatives (not exactly easy....).
      Thanks, Rj

  12. Glad you checked in so we'll know how you're doing. May we offer as much Emotional Support as will be Helpful, and lend an Ear and Shoulder, as you battle thru the Radiation Regimen. Big Hugs from the Arizona Desert and Healing Energies.

    1. I certainly appreciate healing energies, and I'd like to be at peace in the Arizona Desert. My parents visited there often when I was a child.

I love comments. Go ahead and leave one - I won't bite. But make sure you have a rabies shot just in case.
