    So My Wife Died...

    And so it begins... Incoming word vomit that would also fit in the Jimmies Rustled thread. As I mentioned across these posts, my wife developed her cancer at 40. Her father's cancer hit when he was 40 and he lived with it off and on for the next 20 years. Her mother wasn't diagnosed until she...

    My wife's father was intensely allergic to gluten and only developed the allergy in his 40s. His mother was also celiac, however she tested positive for the allergy while throughout his life he was tested many times and it never showed a positive result. Proof was in the pudding though, as he...

    Thanks Man. I really do appreciate it. The colds between me and the kids are killing me. 6 fucking weeks. Then 2 days ago they both spiked fever's over 103. Boogers, watery eyes, the works. I just went yesterday and got diagnosed with bronchitis and mild pneumonia myself. My parents are both...

    They have you doing Miralax or Milk of Magnesia? I've done both, but fuck Milk of Magnesia that shit is too gross. Never again.

    I hear you. Honestly it isn't so much that I feel like my life is over, I'm just real tired and I thought the tank would last a lot longer before it felt like it was getting towards E. Part of that has to be all of us being sick for a month, it starting to head in to winter here in Maine...

    So My Wife Died...

    I don't know that I'll feel guilty for my wife. As I mentioned she was pretty adamant that I find someone else. Honestly I'll feel guilty for the person I'm with. They'll never get 100% of me. Like you guys are talking about. I just don't have that to give. I don't think I could love...

    And just like that, half a year gone. I've found myself thinking about what that number means, and it leads me to think about other dates and timeframes, things that in the grand scheme of things don't really matter a whole lot. A lot like some baseball stats in that way. At the end of the...

    While your response makes sense I still hate front office folks in medical offices. Cunts in Front is what I call them. Some are definitely just doing their job but there is a disproportional amount that clearly get off being the gate keepers. PA's can go pound sand too. I could write volumes...

    The mass in your skull was real. The anxiety and fear you must have felt about your own mortality and future was real. The radiation was real. Trust me dude, no stolen Valor. You had real as shit cancer and you beat it.

    I used to keep vhs tapes of the old marvel cartoons and the show Exo Squad, by the time I was twelve the actual tapes inside the cases were either legit porn, red shoe diaries, or scrambled skinemax porn. Shout out to Where The Boys Aren't #8 and Emmanuelle's Awakening or whatever it was called.

    "glioblastoma multiforme, is the most aggressive and most common type of cancer that originates in the brain, and has very poor prognosis for survival." As far as the side effects. You'll get through it. My wife had chemo fog, morphine fog, fatigue fog. She learned to adapt and for you It'll...

    The whole thing is such a scam. Same hospital system but every doctor's office had their own billing bullshit. Getting a bill for the first time and getting a notice from a collection agency for the very same charge on the same day happened more than once. All the offices use the same...

    Mortal Kombat 1

    Not to mention your rank isn't tied to the character you are playing (like SF6). So if you wanted to take a new character in to the league your rank will most likely tank. It incentivizes smurf accounts or just not trying out new characters in ranked at all. Since there is no placement AND no...

    That's fair. Outside of the looming GF moving in, baby mama trying to move out of state. What do you think her actual reaction will be when you decide not to pay her @Bandwagon ? Would she really take you to court over it? Or have it be the catalyst to get ugly with custody stuff? Has...

    What was the total cost of the painting and carpet ? You are obviously in the right in not having to reimburse her and you have done more than enough to accommodate her but then there's the really real world and you have a lot of extra stuff going on that you want to make work. Getting down in...

    I'm trying to try out characters and learn some of the combos via the tutorials, but something about it I just fucking can't get used to. I'm on PC and using a PS Controller and I hate that there isn't just a reset button, it toggles between the demo of the combo and the starting position so...

    The story mode has some weird stuttering / hitching any time that isn't a fight. I tried turning all my settings to low but it didn't do anything. Gave me a screamer of a headache while also making me want to yack. Other than that I think its pretty awesome. I'm going to be fucking terrible...

    Also, Willow Tree Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad is like 300 calories a fucking spoonful. My wife lost her appetite as well and I could at least make her do that periodically and it wasn't like staring a whole sandwich down which was just too daunting. Also weed.

    I had my second colonoscopy today. Prep was a lot worse than the first time (or maybe I just deleted the last one from my memory). They had me taking milk of magnesia instead of miralax this time. Never again. That shit is fucking nasty. My choices were fucking cherry or mint. I have no...

    If there really no good doctor's where you are, and based on the above being a clusterfuck. But this was just the Rad doctor's office correct? Not your Onco? I guess the question is, what's your plan? Shitty inept doctor's can contribute to your death just as much as the cancer itself.
