After The Procedure 17 Days “I Hear You!”

​Willie is doing really well.  His voice is back and he can even yell.  The procedure (laryngoscopy with vocal cord augmentation on 3/18) really worked!  We were skeptical for a couple days after, where he wasn’t supposed to talk. He tested that and his voice wasn’t great for a few days to a week after the procedure.  However, over the coarse of two weeks his voice slowly got stronger, better, and you can actually HEAR him.  We are both relieved.  It has been 5 long months with that hoarse whisper and the aspiration when he drinks water and liquids. What a relief   


👆🏻This is him sitting out on the sun yesterday ☀️.  With the nicer weather and him feeling better, he has been out working in the yard, fixing sprinkler pipes, planting landscape trees, and all the other things he likes to do.  His stamina is building.  He is eating so much better now.  Sometimes he forgets not to eat too much and he pays for that by pain and needing to lay down after for awhile. But other than that, he’s been doing so well and we are both so happy he has his voice back. And his hair!!! He also seems to be holding steady on weight and gaining just a little bit.  Hopefully that will all continue and stay healthy and cancer-free. 


Next appointments are below.  In July, after our vacation, he’ll get a PET scan.

Staging Done, Time to Start

Ready or not, here we go.  Cherry season picking for our orchard starts on 6/29 this year.  Ready or not, here we go... or maybe not.  Pablo says he only has 6 pickers this year vs. the usual 15 to 18.  Maybe we won't pick.  That's not enough to get the cherries off the trees.  Neighbors have no pickers to spare.  If we have enough pickers we can finish picking Lapins in 3 days.  Then wait a week and on to Sweethearts which would only take 2 days to get them off the trees.  So, if we have enough pickers we could be though the pick by 7/10 or 7/11.   Ready of not, here we go.  We met with the oncologist yesterday, Dr. Voshtina.  She laid out the plan for Willie's treatment to attack his esophageal cancer.  Good news is it hasn't spread.  Bad news is it's agressive and spreads fast so must be attacked quickly.  We are on the calendar for surgery to install a port for the week of 7/7, right in the middle of cherry p...

Hair Loss & Cancelled Chemo

Image
Tuesday, Willie got a hair cut. This was delayed from earlier this month when he had to reschedule but it was time. He didn’t get it buzzed off because I just didn’t think that would be good. So Elise just cut it short. The next day, Wednesday 23rd, he tried seeing if it would come out and sure enough it did! Of course I made him pose for a few photos which he dearly loves. Here’s one …. guess he won’t have hair for long. That said, it was a busy week this week. Willard got someone to provide a bid to pull out all our cherry trees. We are done, but that’s another story. He traded in the sprayer for a Kubota diesel side by side. And finally, when he got his labs yesterday, they cancelled his chemo today due to his white cell counts were just super low. He needs to get those up before they can give him rip d two. So he got a shot today of something that will bring up his white blood cell count to more normal. If that happens, he’s back on the calendar for next week, Thursday the 31st. Th...

It's All Happening

Cancer really sucks! It sucks the energy out of you and those around you. Willie and I are super lucky to be surrounded by many good friends and famiily. For that, we are grateful.  Cherry harvest began on Sunday, 6/29 and we were both up bright and early to greet the crew. It's been hard to find pickers but Pablo came through for us again this year with a small but professional group. It was super exhausting for Willie (and me too) and emotionally draining as well. Tuesday was so hard, they went long, it was 100 degrees out, and the warehouse took 45 minutes to unload the truck while cherries were boiling in the bins on the back of it. Yesterday we called it quits, with 103 bins total (about 32,000 pounds) which is approximately half the orchard. The rest of the fruit will hang on the trees and rot unless anyone comes to take them for free. We will pull the trees out this year and just mow grass from here on out. We have learned that growing...
