Interesting read. The fact is many people, including myself felt compelled by their employers to do it. Risk everything for the sake of their careers. Now we are seeing many unanswered questions about the efficacy of doing so. We were given an ultimatum. Get the jab by XYZ date or we accept your resignation. I am questioning that decision now too.
To be fair, i don't believe the vaccine can cause the prostate issue you have, i really don't think you should blame yourself or even think about that.

Yes, I agree the results were there prior to COVID. It does concern me that private companies forced their employees by coercion. It isn’t right. Employees should never have been issued an ultimatum. Keep in mind I worked remotely from home with an office. I should not have been required to take a vaccine. I posed zero threat to anyone in the workplace.
 
It’s been several weeks and I thought to post here. My condition is stabile and I’m looking ahead to my next scan. Won’t be until August or September and hopefully I can have the port to cath removed.

Since we always enjoyed Halloween and I had some scrap wood I wanted to make some little table top props. I was pretty stoked about how they turned out and wanted to share.

Update 8/3/2023. I went to see a number of my doctors over the last few days. The neurologist wrote scripts for three MRIs. Unfortunately the one of my brain and cervical area came back with bad news. I’m doing the best I can coping with the news. Today has been a mixed bag of emotions.

Having gone down this road before it reminds me that cancer is a marathon. Endurance, perseverance and determination to win will hopefully get you through it. It isn’t the news I wanted to hear but I accepted it gracefully.

The news today rekindled many thoughts. Immediately it brought me back to January. Rather than shock, I moved to sadness and desperation rather swiftly. I thought of all the things I haven’t done yet. None of them matter but over the course of the last several months I obsessed over finishing small projects, making things nice for my wife and being a better person and husband.

I don’t have the information yet so it’s best not to speculate but it prompted me to express my sorrow to my wife for everything. What was I apologizing for? For putting her through all of this. For not being able to live out the rest of our days without fear. For not giving her everything she deserves. For years my wife has done so much. I truly don’t deserve to have her. She told me she doesn’t care about anything, she just wants to be with me.

The definition of love is much clearer now than it has ever been in my entire life. What it means to be young and in love is so different than when you are older, more mature, more patient, more understanding, more grateful, more aware, more giving and most of all more devoted than ever. Caring for someone as you age teaches you how precious your time is. Perhaps I was most sorry for not seeing all of that before now.

It has been a struggle. My friends and I got together in May and one of them told me last night, “When I said you looked good , I really meant that.“ He told me “This guy must me made from some super human metal to go through what he has and still keep going” The compliments were uplifting.

As much as I just want to close my eyes and have it all go away I know there is a fight ahead. The MRI reminds me This Means War! Bring it!
