Check in time again Sept 28 2021 - Starting new thread for this

He will be going for simulation for his 6th set of 10 radiation treatments on Oct 5th

He has been helping more the last 3-4 weeks on clean up of the 5.3A tho I have had to go back over the dirt piles to get all the copper wire & metal out of them.

He will be starting 5th year on Oct 25th

metastatic SqCC of the Lung (Stage IVB i have seen one some reports) His weigh is bouncing between 6468 Kg. but 64kg seems to be the consistent figure for the year. In the face he is getting to look like his dad did in his last months of his life/diastase of not making Red Blood Cells.

Clean up is at a stand still for now as the Bobcat motor all but died friend been helping me the last 2-3 years has pulled the motor out of it trying to find a refurbished one or good used one but wonder if its worth the $$ there is some left to do but I am discouraged at this point since the bobcat is all that we have had to work with to scrape, lift, pull and clean with Beginning to wonder if it is worth it

Before it completely went down friend with lung cancer was helping going through the dirt piles for metal & copper but I had to go over the last 2-3 weeks- he was mowing the yard more than he had been the last couple of months -Not sure what got into him and whether he continues to mow it like he has been this fall will be debatable - but i got a mower I can use/run and mow with

After his radiation treatments are over I will see about hand loading all the metal we have piled up and hauling in my truck - unless can find someone to help

I had hoped for a consignment auction but 1 never answered the 2 wanted to come pick what they wanted so I have a mess of just not wrapping back down properly - so repacking and stacking boxes against wall in trailer - so I will probably end up going back through and re-sorting and decide what I want to keep for yard/ garage sale or eBay - I actually have enough for a collectible store - but not confident enough and Culver really needs another specialty store

Have been cleaning my collectible/antique furniture and about done with that - been taking to house as i get it done - the heaviest stuff is out of here and awaiting my arrival

Ordered my bed Jun 27 - but it won't be here till around Dec 1st could be later - had to be difficult and order an Amish handmade Bow Sheaf bed for Shipshewana furniture - ordered my mattress (Nectar) a few days and it already arrived today - took it up and left it in the box for now says 2 more boxes - sheets & bedding items that were to be free.

I scrubbed/sanded down and old Tell City rocker did not refinish it - bought a cushion for it - have a glider rocker goign to wash down & get a cushion for it - I bought a chair from a firend over 3 years ago - so that will be all the furniture I will have - I got to get up and finish stripping down the piano and get it out of middle of living room. - Its box heaven at the house and will be living out of boxes for a very long time - no book cases or shelving - I stripped down some desk drawers of 2 desk wings i had plywood over for my computer desk here - my friend who been helping me made a new top for it and I poured and acrylic bar top finish on it - I got a new computer/desk chair Saturday from my Classmates for all my hard work on our reunion we had our 50th/51st reunion from High School and I done all the work of invitation and a booklet for that

My friend alspo during that very hot humid weather in late July-August decided I had to have the black dirt hauled in and done - so had a culver neighbor haul th bobcat up there and we done that - had to scrape out over 4 inches of sand in order to laid down 4 inches of good black dirt then he dug down in where the former carport area was and buried the sand that we could not give away, layered the dirt he dug out over it and then put a thin layer of good black dirt over it. So that s done - but not got the bill for the 3 loads of good black soil as yet. Over did but it got done and took while to recover from that.

Friend covered all the windows with heavy plastic and goign to try to stay here as long as possible till I get things sorted out again and moved to basement. There is just to much to walk off with - and Figure out how to secure things down and drain the plumbing so it will not freeze

Of course his sisters could give a rats-ass in hell - 2 have never called all these 4 years - and the youngest only calls when she want some information but have gotten use to that tho it still sticks in my craw that they could care less about their brother.

I keep praying for a miracle of some sort - Things just have to work out somehow
