Beth, Jeanie your learning from eachother and i am also learning from the both 
of you as you are learning from me. This is what it is. I always say that life 
is a learning process and well, it is. You must learn something new every day 
of your life.


Now i would like to send you some pictures that i took of some of my projects 
that me and my wife did together mostly when i wasn't feeling very well, but i 
still did it. Shelly did the cutting for the most part and i did the grinding 
and fitting and the soldering, sometimes switching off but we did it together. 
And it made both of us feel that much better. 


Everything that you may see in these three pictures are things that we 
personally accomplished by ourselves including the crown moldings as well as 
the moldings on the ceiling. Both of us never said that maybe  we should stop, 
but sat down and rested for a while and had lunch or watched TV and then got 
back to "business". Sure it sometimes taxed me out but i still continued on for 
weeks at a time or even months. 


There is a point to all of this, just get your priorities together and there is 
nothing that you can't accomplish.


18's,


Marty

Hi Beth and all 
I know exactly what you mean Beth.  Sometimes I just want to go back to bed and 
do nothing. 
I have found however if you make a plan of what you want to accomplish that day 
it helps a lot. Even write it down.  Start on it even if you don’t feel like 
finishing it.  
One time I made a plan to read the Bible again all the way through. I have read 
it before but this was just another plan. So each day I read a little and soon 
I had accomplished my plan. Well not soon but I did it. 
Getting through Job is difficult but well worth it especially since he fought 
disease daily. He had boils all over his body. Can you imagine!
I love the part where it got to Leviathan.   My granddaughter even drew me a 
picture of him.  
Now today is walking and gardening as long as I feel like it. If I get tired or 
weary I just rest.  
I remember when I was in the hospital and they wheeled that big old blood 
cleansing machine in my room I was in for it. They would hook it up and I had 
to my still for about 4 hours while my blood ran through this machine. I 
thought it would never be over.  It never did any good. The next day my 
platelets and whites were right back up. I learned from Moffitt they don’t even 
do that. They just give you the pills and hope for the best.  
This last chemo Ponatinib has been the best chemo yet with the least side 
effects except for hair falling out. 
What do you take?  I developed mutants to all the other chemo
Just each day at a time and make a plan. Prayers. 
You have helped me a lot Beth. 
❤️

Just look at what your writing...
Each and every day is another day so keep on blessing your medication because 
without it then it wouldn't be another day. Don't despair because you may feel 
like life is trying to give you a difficult time but then there are other days 
that that will restore your faith. 


I have been there and what i found out is that i am still here and by the way 
so are you.


I have always told everyone that Leukemia is a powerful disease and so it is 
BUT so is your mind... Use it! 


18's,


Marty


PS why do you think that all of my posts ends up with 18's?


Because it means LIFE.

Dear Marty,




I sing praises every day....for my life and for sprycel. I even bless my 
medication in my hand before I take it each night.. my little ritual.  the side 
effects of the medication coupled with the two botched surgeries have left me 
with a great deal to navigate daily. I know I am blessed. But today I am just 
very very very weary. Tomorrow is another day...


Hope everyone is well and enjoying spring...one day at a time...breath in the 
flowers and enjoy!!!


Love to each and every one of you...and thanks for reading..

Hi Beth and great news. Are you any pain?  Marty I wanted to asked you if you 
they gave you any meds for pain?  Did you ever have to take anything for 
leukemia ever again? Can you walk well?  
My daughter bought me a wheel chair just in case I get to tired of walking.  
Do you walk well Beth?
So happy you are in remission.   I’m in remission too but I know from 
experience how leukemia can test it’s ugly head. 
Prayer and pills is my motto and it’s working. 
Good luck
Jean

Beth, Beth, Beth, 


What can i say, As you mentioned you are now UN-detectable, but what you should 
have written should have more piazzas to it. Something like shouting it at the 
top of your voice on the top of a high mountain with your hands and arms 
reaching upward and stretched and extended out to HIM. 


Well Beth sometimes i get carried away but please scroll down.












 
BUT NOT THIS TIME🌷


Do you know why? It took place more then 30 years ago. Once my bone marrow 
transplant was finished after being confined inside of that bubble that i was 
in about a week before i was to be finally discharged i still had to wait that 
one week and i was fixated on the clock within that bubble with that second 
hand ticking away. Tick Tock, tick tock, tick tock............ I waited for the 
seconds to tick away the whole day and night until i finally fell asleep, and 
then i was woken up again and it continued on for most of that never ending 
week. I was in there for seven months and let me tell you it was more then 
horrible but i had to do it until the final seconds that i was able to finally 
to leave there, or so i thought only to find myself back in there two weeks 
later because of a severe infection from my in chest Hickman catheter that put 
me back in there for another two weeks.


Was it all over? Not until i was about to leave that plastic bubble and at that 
time i raised my hands fully extended and ripped that clock right off the wall 
and since i finally had my shoes on i STOMPED the life of that clock to death. 


However, on that original day that i was discharged from the hospital it was 
raining like cats and dogs coming out of the sky and i just stood there in the 
street and let the rain populate on my face and then i remember raising my 
hands and arms up toward HIM and it was finally over with.


Oh yes i am not kidding, about a week later i received a bill in the mail for 
$25 for the clock that i put out of my misery and it was marked PAID. And there 
was a reason for that. To be continued.


There is a Moral to this story... Beth all that you need to do it put your 
hands and arms up toward the sky and HE will do the rest.
