Thread: Tumor

Headed for another chemo infusion today. See what I can get done when I get home.
In the market for a cheap 410 shotgun. I'm resizing 303 Britt brass to 410 brass reloading.

My chemo infusion nurse was the one I've talked with about crappie fishing in the past. Being mine for the session gave us more time to talk. Her parents had to leave early after setting camp the last week of March and plan another trip soon. Told her of things I've made for tackle from what others think as trash, she wants to see some of them. The doctor ordered a Petz scan and upper prob to see what's going on with my esophagus at this time. Some foods give me a problem eating, still eating as well as I can. With weather being good I'm getting out and working in the yard more. Weigh was up to 138 lb this time.
A stop at Sportsman's Warehouse to see what they had for 410 reloading and tackle on clearance. Got a few jig grubs and a carton of Cheddite 209 primers for $47.99. Check gun owner's state site while eating lunch at home. CCI SPM primers at on clearance at a Grenada sporting goods store for $39 per carton. I called my son for a fast trip there. He got more tackle I got 5 cartons. A stop at Spain's grocery for their sales items then home.
I fought with this wear home infusion pump all night long. The tube got wrapped around my arm 5 times once pulling on the port/IV connection. Later it got wrapped around my chest twice pulling on the connection.

Slept better last night. The pump just beeped, need to get dressed and head to the clinic for it removal.

Yesterday stepping out of the house I saw a water puddle in the front yard. Looking closer it's the sewer line leaking at the service cap. (If your service cap is level with your home's floor it's best to leave it loose so it floods your yard instead of the house.) I have large trees in the yard and know there's a root in the line. After the chemo infusion pump was removed I stopped at Home Depot and rented a sewer auger. I'm not able to lift this heavy machine so it sat in my truck while I worked with it as well as I could. The auger ran about 10 minutes before I saw a bind in the snake and water ran down the pipe. I ran the auger another 15 minutes before pulling the snake from the pipe. The end was 6 inches from the curb in a line of where I think the pipe runs across the yard. Having Cspire running cables and marking underground lines 3 months ago helped a lot. I had marked the sewer line with green paint, water with blue and gas with red at the curb so I'd know where they are. I returned the rental and got busy in the yard instead of taking it easy the rest of the day. My belly has some pain to it today.

Friday is usually my grocery shopping day. With the sore belly I waited until Saturday and went to 1 store, Kroger, Interstate, Horn Lake. Last week Claussen pickles were on sale, they had spears and slices. We like whole and baby whole, cut to size we like and when, seems fresher that way. I looked again, same as last week. I spoke with the department manager, he got his reader and scanned bar codes. Suppose to have 15 and 19 each of the 2 and can't find them in the back. Cleared inventory and ordered fresh. They should be delivered today. Claussen sauerkraut was on clearance for $1.75, reg price $4.99, I got one for dinner. We liked it better than most canned. I returned yesterday for more. Some jars had 6/25 dates and some had 10/25 dates, got 6 jars with 10/25.
Friday night while watching the zoom auction from Senatobia I finished loading the 303 Britt brass to fire form for 410 shotgun. Haven't found a used 410 yet at a good price. Guess I'll order the Charles Daily 101 in walnut from Sportsman's Warehouse. Seems the cheapest I can find.
A stop at SuperLo for Frostie root beer, 32 oz bottle for $1, none in stock.
A trip out east to Hwy 309 to Mallard Limit sporting clays center. No to shoot but to pick up hulls. Got 2 buckets mostly 12 ga a few 20 ga and boxes. Didn't see any 410 hulls. I'll watch a few Utube videos on loading hulls without a press.

The wife is out of ginger honey crystals for her tea. I searched every store I could find, 16. Found it at the India farmers market in Southaven. I bought her a tin of Earls grey tea at Home Goods in Olive Branch, first one I've seen.
Monday at 7:30 am I'll be at West clinic midtown Memphis for a Petz scan. Plan to be at BPS east Memphis for a FTF deal. Might go to Ollie's on Germantown Rd.
Tuesday 10 am, chemo infusion at West clinic in Southaven.
Thursday about noon return for infusion pump to be removed.
See what work I can do this week.
I planned to cut bamboo for tomato stakes today. Checked chainsaw Thursday, cord will pull out about 6 inches and stops, like compression jams it. Guess the plants will grow good without stakes this year. A neighbor around the corner is remodeling their house, got a few 2X4's at the street, may try the post with string trick instead.

Prolly know this but does your saw have a compression relief button?

I'll check it out. It's a Stihl 290 farm boss.

My youngest son will drive me to West clinic tomorrow. I know he's been having problems with his truck so I cleaned the car for the ride. Got all but washing the carpet. Must of wore me out a bit. Went to bed at midnight, woke a couple of times overnight and slept until 10:20. Going to be a short day with rain in the forecast. See I can do indoors.
