Cocoon forming

Been walking last few days feeling out how my leg feels after a couple of miles.  I can get around ok but I notice my gate still favoring my leg.  I’m trying to walk on the ball of my feet with the bad leg it still feels like I’m not sure whats going on.  I feel myself leaning forward more as well. Needless to say allot of little motors are out of whack at the moment.  This is all compounded by the fact the bottom of my foot starts to hurt as if it’s getting pounded harder than it is.  Next day I feel fine so I don’t think I’m doing any harm , just need to keep working on it.  About a month ago it was considerably more numb than it is now.

Also took these photo’s since they remind me of my surgery photo of my jaw with the cancer in it.. Maybe you don’t see it but I do.

Leg and Therapy

The Waiting

The Waiting

Leg wound is about closed and everything looks good.  I’m going to see a physical therapist in a few days to give me some pointers on working out the nerve kinks in my leg and shoulder.  I don’t talk about the shoulder much because it isn’t a real pressing issue to me.  There is a slight twinge, kind of like if you have ever slept on your arm wrong. So I’m going to start walking and testing out my leg some and stop favoring it so much, it is time.

Q roaming free

Leg wound is basically closed now except maybe for a slight sliver. I’m putting aqua-cell gauze stuff on the wet part of the wound now and just wrapping it in gauze.  ( Not sure if that’s the actual name ” aqua-cell ” but it’s basically a gauze type surface that turns to a gel on contact with a wet surface I think).

I might take some images this weekend and post but there really isn’t anything interesting there to me anymore.  Met a another game developer from the Netherlands who seems to have the same type of cancer I had.  He is going to have a similar procedure and we have been talking a bit.  Here is his site for anyone interested Brian Beuken’s Blog

I’m going to make sure I’m on call for all his questions before and after. That’s kind of the point of documenting everything here is in the hopes it can help another that is going to be experiencing the same thing.

Also got a small mention over at the developers of Eye-Fi

Eye Fi Write up on me

It’s really cool wireless technology for your camera if you haven’t tried it. Why camera makers don’t include this in camera’s to start with is beyond me.  Thanks Eye-Fi peoples.

Still like the iPad , SO!!!!!

This next week will be a real test of things.   First I hope to get this wound vac off even though there is a chance of getting a second skins graph on the site because of a partially exposed tendon ( not sure what all that means but Wednesday I will, maybe more videos as well).   Then some other things of a personal nature that effects the whole family.   If all of these things can some how line up for a positive out come I would have to say I could rest peacefully for the whole summer no matter what else happens.   It’s been getting rougher oddly enough recently even though my body is slowly healing some other things seem to have yet to fully surface, although they are making themselves known now.  Everything in my mind has to be reevaluated in ways I still have yet to understand.  A lot of buried thoughts and feelings have to some how get out.  Even if  that expression is not clear to others and sometimes not even clear to myself.  It’s just a strong impulse to do those things at what ever cost it may be.  You know it’s just something you have to do and hopefully others can understand that.   It does seem every day there is a little more change and a little more difference.  I can’t really determine if that is good, bad or if that even matters, but it’s just different.  I can say I have been going through a phase of listening to  music I was listening to as a teenager.  Kind of like parts of your life flashing before you and even re assessing the past to make sense of things you might have once thought were clear and understood.

Leg hole and other ramblings

Not me someone else

It's marcus

Leg hole healing going fine nothing to really report and the photo updates of it I think at this point are getting redundant.  It is slowly closing and when it gets to a more significant state I will post a photo to gross out friends and family.

Some other things I would like to say though today.

First off thanks to all my members at GHOSTNOTE.NET who have donated some cash to help me rebuild the GN coffers.   It amazes me each time the speed in which people pitch in to help, it’s really awesome.

Also wanted to say fuck you disability insurance people at MATRIX.  They don’t mind taking your money but when you need it ( i.e. having cancer and shit ) they sure as hell make it stressful in the attempt to eat and keep the heat on.  If you have  MATRIX as a insurance provider find someone else, they suck.

Wound Vac Day 12

Everything moving along with the wound vac.  It’s slowly closing but the space under the tendon is taking longer to fill in.  I was supposed to get my PEG tube out this past Monday but got my times all wrong and missed it.  It’s been rescheduled for the end of the month.  I hope to have video of that.

Wound Vac now in place.

Here is some video of the Wound Vac being placed.  Well before that a kind Dr helped clean it up.  I was to see Dr. Bailey but on my way to his office he was running out to help with a emergency.  When your a bad ass you just can’t help it everyone wants a piece.
