CT scan is done. I have 4 days to relax. Then its the doctor appointment and chemo which will be tues morning starting at 9 am. We should find out how the treatment (chemo) is doing. And if the chemo needs tweaking. They will measure they cancer on the different organs and see if it has been reduced.
Not being able to eat all day was a little tough. When I got home I was greeted with a pork roast ,carrots with onions and celery, almond with mashed potatoes. I started eating it then decided to take the picture. When eating pork you have to have applesauce. Thats a must.
I had seconds.
It’s Saturday and I have been doing a lot of sleeping. It’s now 2 pm and I just work up . I am tired. The cold is not helping. I would like to sit outside and just soak up the warmth of the sun as it beats down on me. LOL
Sometimes the sun just feels so good. I am so tired of being cold. We still have a long way to go for summer. What happened to global warming ?
I have not done to much. Actually I have not done anything outside of going to the hospital. Everything seems to cost money. I have to get to a point where some kind of balance is reached.
There is a lot of redfish who are no longer here. I do not understand this. Not all of them but enough. The redfish powerup league is still doing well and so is the minnow power up league. https://steemit.com/community/@steemcommunity/the-minnow-power-up-league-week-12.
Maybe because of the support and are part of something, also they are still engaging and they see the benefit. Payitforward,pifc, https://steemit.com/payitforward/@pifc/week-34-pay-it-forward-curation-contest is also still moving along. But I do see the numbers of posts not as strong or plentiful to view. I hope it is because of my limited engagement over the past coupe of months.
My big fear here is that I will not reach dolphin level. With the price of steem it is now a long shot but it is possible. Prior to the drop in price the long shot was a high level minnow. A personal problem is costing me fiat that I would have spent on steem. I was able to powerup on the 1st , I am hoping to do the same on Jan 1st.
The amount of people at this price and level I am at that I can support is less then when the price was higher. That is a drawback that I am not alone with. Maybe that is a reason people have drop out. If your goal was payout I do understand the frustration. I never paid attention to payout. My focus has always been on comments. I have always given a vote and reply to all comments I receive. Lately I do not have the VP to give a vote to all . This does weigh heavy on me and I have pulled back on the higher level people and given to the lesser of us (smaller fish) along with then ones who are interested with engaging.
Helping others become bigger fish is so important to me. It is what makes steemit special. Not to many other things in this world has so many people willing to help others become successful. This in itself you make you think people would jump aboard. But people seem to get in there own way with the assumption that its free or work is not involved.
I have never thought of this as work. Getting evolved, talking to people , I just can’t put that in the same category as work.
I seem to be a little all over with this post. I have so much on my mind. Doing these blogs help settle things down. It does take me a couple of hours to complete. That’s because I write a sentence or two then think about it and other things.
Well thanks for reading
Wolfhart
Bon Appetite😉 you need those food for your energy. So there'll be a week off before the next chemo. I think that the redfishes we know already became some minnows @wolfhart 😉 and the minnows are better than redfishes when commenting and posting, you know ..due to the rc problems, though the steem orice is right at the price where people could start a little investment, but I think some of them are afraid of the unpredicted future of steemit too.
While many of the steemut users still put their attention on getting more upvotes to grow but still none from the dolphins or orcas even the whales upvoted theirs. Lucky that I have some SBI and minnowshares ... so I don't put my attention on the payouts anymore, but engagement is teally tough when you know which posts is worth to upvote and comment on😊
People need to build there community, friends and engagement.
Payout comes later
Absolutely Agree!
Glad to hear that step is over with. Not eating because of procedures is a pain. Man, the food tastes good after waiting though, right?!
It is a lot quieter around here. It just means it's easier to get your posts noticed. :)
That was a good meal LOL
It is a good time to build relationships and engagements.
I am looking forward to @abh12345 engagement league tonight. I am glad that I have been able to engage more now then before
I am still lurking about. Not typing as much these days. I miss the sun we have 6 inch snow right now and still falling. Power blinking already probably should put in my pifc choice before it goes out.
Bad storm. I am not in the path. I to miss the warmth of the sun. The cold is kicking my but.
6 plus inches is a lot, I hope you don’t loose power. Stay safe
Its nice to hear u in such good spirits, i hear chemo is horrible. Sending u all my aloha buddy🌺🌺
Yes it is horrible LOL.
This has been a challenging 2 weeks
I like aloha 😂. Thank you
We posted at the Same time hahah just now
Great minds think alike
great piece i want to swim to dolphinhood too, dont know how long this will take but thats totally ok!
The fun is in the journey.
If I do not make it I will not be to disappointed.
And the dinner the mrs prepared was a 3 star one!
And we use applesauce with everything 😉
It was good and after the long day it was very special.
I like applesauce. On pork it is a must
And while swimming the Oceans in this steemisfere I meet great fish dolphins whales and orcas 😉
There are great people here. They always give of them self’s. It is great to be part of
What you give you get back dear
How are you doing this morning?
I am doing ok. Slept a little . Can’t really complain
Enjoy your days off.
Things are getting harder every day in here. The price falls, we buy some more and despite having more Steem we can't vote as much...
Hopefully this bear market will pass with us coming out stronger.
I am hoping
It is what has happened in the past a couple of times
The low price effects the amount of support we can give
These cycles usually repeat themselves. If history repeats, BTC will go as low as 1200$ and then move up until a value that will make 20.000$ look small. Then it will crumble again until near the 20.000$ and everyone will be panicking about that!
We will see if history repeats itself or we are starting a whole new trend. I don’t think we have hit the low yet but maybe we are close
I hope it does. I'd love to see the new low being 20.000$ and for Steem a new low of $8. 😃

My aunt has MS and is sensitive to the cold. Why they live in the snowy part of Oregon is a mystery. Anyway, my uncle just bought her a electric heated throw. Like an electric blanket but smaller, it covers her from chest to toes when she's sitting in her recliner. She didn't say what brand but she is loving it.
Sending you warm thoughts!
I have a couple quilts and an electric blanket. A heater in the bathroom that heats the bedroom. I do get complaints that its to hot LOL
This has been a cold winter so far.
I thought you meant you felt cold when you were sitting in a chair. Much worse if you're feeling cold in bed. I wonder if getting a different mattress pad would help? I'm a thrifty little thing and held off getting a new mattress pad until the old one was nearly falling apart. I had no idea there were different kinds and I didn't go for anything fancy. I think it was just because it was new (?) but instead of shivering for 10 minutes I could feel it warm up immediately. I had no idea it could make such a difference. Other than that I don't know what would help. I tried wearing socks on the theory that if your feet are warm the rest of you will warm up too. I guess you could try that. It just made my feet sweat and the rest of me was as cold as ever!
I Have a good mattress pad (my pillow one) and a heater over that. It worked out well.
Socks I can’t ware when sleeping. I am cold all the time. Legs, knees feel it the most
The chemo is what is the cause but I can’t stop it until I am in remission then things will return to normal. Strength will increase slowly. I should get some info on the cancer with the CT scan tomorrow.
This has been a cold winter so far
So nothing external will keep you warm. Your body has to get well first?
I am visualizing all those busy little chemo bits like Star Wars blasters, hunting and shooting down every bit of the cancer cells. And cells that are even thinking about going rogue. No mercy! I visualize you amazing your doctors, nurses, and technicians! Amazing yourself and your family at how fast you get well. Let them be amazed, you know it's working!
I have that dream every time I fall asleep.
They are a little amazed that I am not dead. Hence the CT after 3 cycles.
When things go to well you tend to worrie. That’s where I am at.
In 15 hours I will be at the hospital. Things going well 👍
