I'm hanging in there. I lost a good friend of mine back in April, and then his wife passed away in June. My brother in law passed away in August.
Dad's all healed up from his burns, and is doing well. Mom's been in and out of the hospital all year fighting an infection she hasn't been able to get rid of. The last time she went she was in septic shock, which is what my brother in law passed away from, and they didn't think she was going to make it but somehow she pulled through.
I'm still around, mostly lurking, but I do visit the forum quite often.

I honestly don't know how long it's been. I just keep on keeping on, that's all I can do. Right now I'm fighting what feels like covid again, even though my tests have come back negative.

Blessed be all those who caregive.
Suddenly realized it’s 6 years since Dad passed, but Covid certainly blurred 3 of them. I still pick up the phone to call mom sometimes.

Canadian oncologist Dr. William Makis is reporting surprisingly good results with high dose Ivermectin in treating aggressive cancers. @MakisMD on twitter.
Has anyone tried CBD for their pain? Read on this page about medical cannabis for cancer pain that those who took it reported experiencing significant decreases in their average pain intensity.
It looks like it's something worth trying.
