I'm waiting to see most of my doctors at the beginning of the
month and my stomach doctor in the middle of the month if I have
enough money left. I have to see the heart doctor first though
to see if he will give me approval to have surgery to remove the
precancerous tumour since it's too large to remove with a scope.
I don't know if the heart doctor will want to replace my faulty
pacemaker first or not. If they keep jacking around though,
I'll end up with full blown stomach cancer. It moves very
rapidly.
Since I'm not going to have chemo, I figure I may last a little
longer than the six months my late wife did. I don't know.
I could be wrong. I certainly know that I'm not going to have
multiple surgeries. They'll get one shot to remove it and if
they don't get it, too bad.
I'm not looking forward to missing a huge hunk of my stomach so I
have put on some extra pounds for the slow descent into
skeletonhood. That may help me hold off an extra month or two.
Diane was quite a bit overweight for her size when she got it though
and she looked like a skeleton in about five months and was dead the
sixth.
My computer is still out and my account is still about $260
overdrawn. My mother keeps clicking on ads for medical
equipment to "help me." All she's doing is helping me
into poverty for the remainder of my life. It's a good thing
it's going to be short. She already took every bit of my extra
money, charged to my account since her name is on it, to buy burial
insurance. If BP doesn't want to pay my life insurance then let
the State bury me. All I'[ll be is an empty husk. My body
will no longer be consuming food to create energy and all of my
thoughts will cease, so who CARES what they do with my body.
Hell, they can just throw it in the trash can and roll it out to the
street for all I care. I can't even afford to buy all of my
medications now that she bought the extra policy. I guess she
wants the BP money to go to my son. It's not much, but it's
enough to bury me. I think it's about $28,000. Why should I have to
spend $150 a month on burial insurance when I already have an
insurance policy I worked for for 15 years? My body is going to be
nothing but an empty husk. I will have quit consuming food and my
body will have stopped creating energy. My thought processes will
have stopped. Hell, throw me in the trash can and wheel me out front
or bury me in the back yard if you have to. I don't care. Quit
depriving the worms of their food. Let my empty body decompose into
oil and natural gas that people thousands of years into the future
can fight over if mankind hasn't destroyed itself by then. I don't
really care anymore. Since I have no Windows operating system I
can't write music and it's extremely difficult to write on this
laptop because of the damn mouse pad that they put right where you
set your wrists. One slip an it deletes half a paragraph or more as
just happened as I was typing this paragraph. I HATE having to
retype.
I decided to give up on writing my life story since I can't afford
to get my computer fixed. I'm sure the hard drive is fine but I
don't know if it would work in a computer of another type or another
speed and still retain the book and the music that I was working on.
This is the FOURTH time I've tried to write a book and lost it
because of computer failure. I give up. I give up on life, on love,
on everything. May death come to me quickly!

This post has a real gallows humor thing going on, and it makes responding difficult.
You have been through so much already and defied so many odds that I think I am just going to hold my breath this time...
