Muncle? Muncle? Hello? Muncle?

[Muncle]

i'm baaaack --- kinda. as soome of you know, i was recently diagnosed with ;lung cancer --- maybe 50 yrs of cigs not good --- and i likelyy have copd. so chemo and copd have me a tad addled recently. now i told you that so this would maybe make more sense --- last wed i woke up late mornibg after 4 hrs sleep -- i keep weird hours -- and felt congested -- not an unusual affair. i went to the br to blow my nose and spit (ugh!). stadingg at the sink, i su ddenly fell sidewise into the br and hit the floor. i later found i'd broken my left radius. now comes the fun.

since no one knows why i fell, if u blackked out, if i was dizzy -- hell, i can't remember -- i've got my pulmonary guy, mt oncologist,

Dear Muncle, You inspired my post about helping out people that might need it. You told me in confidence a while back about the difficult time you are having. OK, you have outed yourself. If you need anything, you have a support group here on TOTV. Post, call us, PM us. We will be there.

[Muncle]

SORRY -- I CONTINUE --- THHIS ONE HAND TYPING SUCKS
i'm baaaack --- kinda. as some of you know, i was recently diagnosed with ;lung cancer --- maybe 50 yrs of cigs not good --- and i likelyy have copd. so chemo and copd have me a tad addled recently. now i told you that so this would maybe make more sense --- last wed i woke up late mornibg after 4 hrs sleep -- i keep weird hours -- and felt congested -- not an unusual affair. i went to the br to blow my nose and spit (ugh!). stadingg at the sink, i su ddenly fell sidewise into the br and hit the floor. i later found i'd broken my left radius. now comes the fun.

since no one knows why i fell, if u blackked out, if i was dizzy -- hell, i can't remember -- i've got my pulmonary guy, mt oncologist,
a brand new cardiologist, a dietitian, a speech therapist, and of course a osteopathic surgeon With anesthetist. ahh there's the rub. osteo wants to operate asap with a general. pulmonary says no way you use a general on my boy. we nee4d to give him big drugs to strengthen lungs, but still don't like general. friday they all agree that op ok under local so i went under early pm. turns out the local not strong enuf so they used a general in or -- but not so deep that they needed to resuscitate. pulmonary still went ape on osteo --- don't know details since i heard it thru hospital rumor mill but i really believe all parties were doing what they thoought best for me.

anyway they kept me 2 more days --= escaped sunday. now have 1/2 hard cast with elastic on top. probably get full hard one --cast--- next week for 2-3 months. having minor shortness of breath issues when i get congested. still uncomfortable sleeping -- use recliner. my older sister is still visiting from kc -- she came because of the cancer, but that's kinda slipped my mind -- and will be here another week. my other sister moved here to duval last fall. my neighbors have been great --- typical of tv -- my sis and i were discussing that after mt big c diagnosis. had this happened to me any of the places i lived in 30 yrs, i'd have had some help, but nothing like here.

heard today from bbb and bs -- called me from frozen michigan --- and was told about this thread -- WOW i'm aghast. thanx for worrying. life's got its ups and its downs. i'm just on a minor downturn --- could be a lot worse --- oh, finishing the huge prepaid dental implant project is on a hold until we do a lot more chemo and radiation. i've a quasi-permanent gap in my upper front that you could fly a galaxy thru. but it will get better. any bets on whose house gets hit by fay and/or accompanying tornado?

[Sidney Lanier]

Geez, so sorry to hear. I also know you primarily through your posts, on top of which we're snowbirds and not at TV now, but rest assured you do have a cadre of good folk in TOTV who mean it when they say they're there for you and anyone else who may need whatever. Good luck!
