This is a new weekly blog post that I'm calling Apartment Hell Life. I've mentioned a few times some of the crazy things that go on in and around my apartment complex in the past 21 years that we've lived here and people keep telling me I should write a book. But instead of a book, I've decided to share the crazy things that have happened in and around my apartment complex in the last 21 years here in a weekly blog post.
More police cars on my street but it looked like they were just there talking to each other. I didn't see them get out and go anywhere. They were there for about 20 minutes and then they left. The police seem to like to stop in this area to sit and talk. Other than this, it was quiet in my neighborhood.

Life Update:
Ken went to the Radiologists office and got fitted for the head mask and they did the CT mapping of his brain so they can start radiation treatments. They told us that it would be everyday for 10 days and then he'd be done with the Radiation on his brain. In a few weeks he does another round of chemo and he'll probably have to stay in the hospital for a few days for that again. On Monday he going to the hospital to have surgery on his right eye. He's blind in that eye because he hit his head when he fell down and blood coagulated in his eye blocking his vision, but the eye doctor is confident that he can clean that out and restore his vision.
*This is Ken with the mesh mask over his face getting the CT mapping of his brain for radiation.*
I just want to thank all the people who donated to our fundraiser for funds to get him back and forth to all these doctor appointments. We don't have a car so he's taking a taxi or the Paratransit bus back and forth to all of the appointments and we really appreciate the help with paying for all of these rides back and forth.
So that's it for this week's Apartment Hell Life! Be sure to come back next week for more.

ReplyDeleteLOL. I guess they're keeping an eye on things and making themselves seen, since it's a problematic area. At least it's working, right?
Again, best wishes for Ken! He's going through so much - even the eye. I hope the operation goes smoothly!
That could very well be what they're doing. ken is there now getting the surgery done.
DeleteHopefully the police being there regularly will keep away the trouble from now on and give you all some peace. It's good to hear that Ken is getting treatment and things are moving on. I'm really hoping for good news on the eye surgery so please pass on my best wishes to him.
ReplyDeleteI will thank you.
DeleteI really hope that Ken's eye surgery goes well, and that the chemo and the radiation are complete successes. Thanks for the updates.
ReplyDeleteAnd hooray for a quiet(ish) week in the area.
I hope so too. Thank you.
DeleteI'm glad it's been quiet at the complex. I'm wishing all the best for Ken, and thank you so much for the updates. Hang in there, Marvelous Mary! Hugs, RO
ReplyDeleteI am trying. Thank you.
DeleteThat’s good news about the eye. I’m glad you got donations for the transportation.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am too.
DeleteNo activity involving police and evil-doers is welcome.
ReplyDeleteKen's eye surgery is top priority as it can be done successfully and improve his ability to withstand the other treatments awaiting him.
Thank you.
DeleteYou really deserve some quiet time. We're all thinking of you and Ken and sending tons of positive energy your way.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I appreciate that.
DeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Ken. I'm also sending you positive energy. I just picked up a client from Nevada who seemed eager to get back.
ReplyDeleteThank you. it's hot here so I don't know why they'd want to come back now. lol
DeleteSending all my thoughts and prayers Ken's way! Hope his surgery goes well. Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I appreciate that.
DeleteBest wishes for all the upcoming medical stuff! The mesh mask reminds me of something out of sci fi.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a quiet week at the complex. We have one of those cop parking spots just up the street, they are there once or twice a week just talking. I guess they need to communicate face to face now and then.
I guess they do. Thank you.
DeleteGiving you lots of peace and love during this tough time. BATTLE THIS CANCER THING ON!! Prayers the warriors will come out on top.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Thank you.
DeleteHugs to you and Ken!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI you and your family weather the medical storm. Sounds like a lot of trips and that can't be easy for Ken or you. Nice that he might get his vision restored, though!

ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Ken's treatment has started. I'm keeping everything crossed that it's effective and the side effects aren't too bad so he can enjoy the downtime between treatments.

ReplyDeleteMy good wishes.
All the best Jan
