1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Welcome to the Bob and Cancer Show. I hate my partner. I'm gonna kill him. Good for you. 2 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:17,160 It's week two of my cancer treatments. Yeah. If you didn't hear the first episode, I was diagnosed 3 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:23,440 with a stomach cancer. They're actually calling esophagus cancer. It's at the joint. Well, it's 4 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:30,360 both. It's the main cancer is actually in the stomach. It's at the EG joint. Whatever that is. 5 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:37,000 We're gonna talk about dope again. Speaking about joints, we will. That's a fact. So yeah, 6 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:46,200 this was a new week. I have the treatment. Monday is my chemo. Monday through Friday is my radiation. 7 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:54,720 I have this cancer that we're in the process of trying to eliminate. And it's a lot different 8 00:00:54,720 --> 00:01:01,760 than I had imagined. Yeah. When I was first diagnosed with this. It's not as frightening 9 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:07,740 as I thought it would be. We have a week under. Well, now we have, you know. A week. Two weeks 10 00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:13,840 under our belt. Mm-hmm. That's true. And we're much more educated about it. Less afraid. We 11 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,880 don't cry every day. Well, I might. She does. I don't. Honestly, I don't. It's usually kind of 12 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:27,760 happy cries or love cries. I'm not like afraid crying. Okay, good. What's looking at me like, 13 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:35,240 what are you? I mean, I rarely cry during a day. No. No. I just, I mean. You're a man. Bob doesn't 14 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,800 cry either. I cry for him. She does. She does all the crying. So. Yep. But there's right now, 15 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:46,720 there's nothing to cry about. Yeah. We're not afraid. No. I've been sailing through this with 16 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:52,040 great ease, actually. It's amazing. Great game plan. He's been a rock star. He's been a champ. 17 00:01:52,040 --> 00:02:01,460 My. He's still heavy. Second treatment with the chemo treatment on Monday. Went as smooth as the 18 00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:07,000 first one. Okay. We had a better view. Oh, really? Yes. And we had different personnel with us. Well, 19 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,160 you mean you brought your sister? It was the doubled shirt lift. That's the kind of view he's 20 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,840 looking for. We were on the opposite side of the building away from the dumpster. So we actually 21 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,880 had a nice street view. Still a hospital to look at. Still says emergency room. Yeah. We had a new 22 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:30,640 staff with us. Some very nice ladies who took very good care of me. Just fantastic. One of the young 23 00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:38,440 ladies was pregnant. Well, we weren't sure. And well. You can't ask. No. No. I learned that 24 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,600 lesson. You can't ask anyone. I learned that lesson long ago. How'd you learn that lesson, Bob? Well, 25 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:54,760 I asked an Indianapolis Colts linebacker's wife when the baby was due. Oops. And she said, I had 26 00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:01,840 it six months ago. Oh, Bob. That's just the worst. And I have. There's nothing you can do. You know, 27 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:09,640 you just crawl away into a corner and never ever, ever ask that question again the rest of your life. 28 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:15,560 I've heard people say that. Never. Even if it is so obvious. You still don't ask. Even if she's 29 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:23,520 delivering that baby. Don't ask. Don't ask. So my lovely wife. She was so great with child. A darling, 30 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,600 darling girl. I won't say her name, but just darling. Beautiful woman asks. It's different. 31 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,000 It's different. I would still be a little nervous. I eyed her a few times just to be certain before 32 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:38,320 I said anything. But I wanted to know. And she wanted me to ask because it's fun. She's pregnant. 33 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:43,040 She's proud. They're excited. Absolutely. My sons were adopted. I was never pregnant, but I'll bet 34 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:50,560 she was happy to talk about it and be like, wee-hee. Oh, absolutely. So I just said, when's your baby 35 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:56,400 due? And she's like, oh, yay. It's actually quite soon. Then she got to talk about it. She's about to go on maternity leave. 36 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:02,440 She was just a doll. Yeah, very nice lady. And it was just as smooth as the first week. Same thing. 37 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:11,560 Do the pre-drugs. Get you set up. The Benadryl. No ants in his pants. No ants in my pants. He got a little nappy in. 38 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:21,680 And you go through the full three and a half hours, four hours of this treatment with people constantly checking on you, 39 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:27,680 making sure everything's OK. Snacks, drinks. And before you know it, four hours goes by rather quickly. 40 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,160 And we found, and again, for those that didn't hear episode one. And you were at the same cancer center, correct? 41 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:41,040 Go back because the ants in the pants is a callback. They need to go listen. The view from the private room is a callback. 42 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:50,160 But no, we went to the same center with my wife and you found the staff so encouraging and just happy. 43 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,080 And we're getting to know them. Did you get to know them? We had almost the same team. 44 00:04:54,080 --> 00:05:00,320 Yeah. And you would you know, you go in and they would welcome you. And oh, yeah. How are you feeling? 45 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:06,760 And my wife would have to weigh in. Do you have to weigh in every week? Yeah. 46 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,760 So I got to be real famous for putting my foot on the skate. Oh, you are nice. 47 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,600 And the women thought that was a real classic move. Very, very bad move. 48 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,040 But you can't do that. No, no. No, they want you to they want me to gain weight. 49 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,040 Yes. Every week when I go in and I'm a little heavier, they're they're happy. 50 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:33,040 Yeah. He gets a little cheer, you know. Yeah. So but I will lose it, according to everyone that is involved. 51 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,320 Well, not yet. I may give up weight during this treatment. 52 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,560 That's what they say. But so far, he's two weeks done. 53 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:50,720 Two weeks in and I have had my first side effect symptom, which is which is a a feels like I have a lump in my throat. 54 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,000 OK, so I have every day. Hard to swallow. 55 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,040 There. Oh, Becky did a joke. She goes back to the old crying thing. 56 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,720 Becky did a joke. A crying joke. 57 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,840 So so it it it feels like when I swallow, it's get stuck. 58 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:10,240 OK. And then eventually just falls into the stomach. 59 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,040 That's the first effect I've had. First and only. 60 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,840 And I don't know if we said this last time. This is a five week regimen. 61 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,800 Is that correct? Five weeks of chemo and radiation. 62 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,520 And you're two down. Two weeks down. 63 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,480 Yeah. And this is Sunday. So tomorrow we'll go in for week three. 64 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,440 Week three. That's that's I think he's doing great. That's amazing. 65 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:35,240 Yes. Yeah, it's like I said, it's been very easy compared to what I had imagined. 66 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,600 Right. When I was first diagnosed. 67 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:44,440 And they give you literally it's like watching drug commercials that give every potential side effect. 68 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:48,600 Yes. Don't take this drug unless you're prepared for these side effects. 69 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,920 Well, they have to tell you everything. 70 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,520 So out of a thousand people, if it happened to two people, they have to tell us this is possible. 71 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,040 So we're scared or we were scared. Now it's two weeks in. 72 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,080 It's like, well, you're doing great. So far so good. 73 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,520 Something may happen down the road. We're not sure yet. 74 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:13,640 But so far it has been a breeze and I'm ready to go go on to week three. 75 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:20,800 Well, he learned just since this slowness in his throat started yesterday, I guess. 76 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:24,600 Right. That well, he's just going to eat slightly differently. 77 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:29,120 We're already we told you last week, we're in this small meals throughout the day. 78 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,400 A lot of snacks, a lot of high protein things. 79 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,640 But now today he was eating lunch and. 80 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,200 Just just very tiny bites, tiny bites, chew it up, taking it, 81 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,680 letting it just get down there, that's the main thing. 82 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,280 Yep. So it's just a little difficult swallowing. 83 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,360 And the the radiologist said that would happen. 84 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,240 OK, and it probably will get worse as the weeks go on. 85 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,560 But I don't know how worse. I don't know. 86 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:54,680 Everybody's different. 87 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,680 Well, our family is so supportive, as I as I'll probably say every week. 88 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720 But they're bringing us meals. 89 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:07,120 I have this brother in law next door, Frank, anyone who's familiar with us, 90 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,920 knows Frank. Yeah. What the Frank on Twitter. 91 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,640 And he's an excellent cook and he wants to cook for us. 92 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,800 He loves to cook, too. But Frank cooks for an army. 93 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,560 And the portions are large. They're huge. 94 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,240 Oh, my gosh. They brought us meatloaf yesterday that my sister 95 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,360 Susan made with our mom's recipe. It's just the best. 96 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:30,040 I love it. And it's enough for, I don't know, a potluck. 97 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,280 It was like a two pound. Yeah, we could feed an army. 98 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,160 So we're just cutting off small pieces for Bob. 99 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,200 It's probably going to last all week. Well, maybe freeze some. 100 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,400 And my brother, Yale, grilled us 20 hamburgers on the Weber 101 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,560 because he is the world's best hamburger griller. 102 00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:47,600 And we froze them up in packs of two. 103 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,360 So you got a burger when you need it. 104 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,920 Yeah. Well, now my freezer is full. 105 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,160 Because I overreacted. I cooked up taco meat and froze it. 106 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,880 I cooked up ground sausage for breakfast. 107 00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,840 Protein with eggs. 108 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:03,760 Frozen. Our freezer is full of ice cream and meat and food. 109 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,520 And we are we are prepared. Well, I'm ready. 110 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,240 I don't think I have to go to the store for the rest of your treatment. 111 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,840 No, it's great. 112 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,720 Well, and we talked about this last time that you have 113 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,360 restricted this information basically to close friends and family. 114 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,800 Yes. Correct. You don't want covered dishes on your porch. 115 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:26,120 No. Piling up. No, no, no. 116 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:27,400 Everybody doesn't like a casserole. 117 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:29,040 You know what I'm saying? Because people would. 118 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,480 They will reach out. And they want to. 119 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:35,160 And so keeping it private until you're kind of through this phase, 120 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,920 I think is and that's the reason that the the podcast we're doing 121 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,160 will not be released until all the treatments are complete. Yes. 122 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,400 We're not here to advertise that I'm having all this done. 123 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,720 Come on by and feed me. 124 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,440 We're not doing this just to let you know what what it's like to go through this 125 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,640 and we'll release all these episodes when my treatment is complete. Yes. 126 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:02,280 And to to what's point about keeping it relatively private, 127 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,000 that was the first thing with wrote to me or maybe you spoke the words, 128 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,600 but you were saying it's personal, it's private. 129 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,920 You will hand this knowledge out in small amounts to people as you choose. 130 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,240 Well, I've learned that 131 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,360 some of my close friends who love me and do know the news now, 132 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:22,480 they want to see me. 133 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,240 Well, I it's not personal, but I don't want to see anybody. 134 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,400 I want to see Bob and that's not a rejection of their care. 135 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,520 It's just this. You've got to be focused right now. 136 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,120 It's not even just being focused. 137 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,320 It's like I have no interest in a social life or. 138 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,240 Do you know what I mean? Right now, I'm having a tough time focusing 139 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,720 because our dog is dancing around our table. 140 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,120 Well, why don't we feed her? She needs to be fed. 141 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,800 That's what all that clicking is in the background. OK. 142 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,600 So we're going to take a break, feed Vera and we'll come back. 143 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280 And I think we're going to show you too. Good. I'm sick. 144 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,640 Of being sick. 145 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,520 I've been in my bed all week. 146 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,800 I feel like dick. 147 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:04,680 I'm sick. 148 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,520 Well, we're back. The dog is happy. 149 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,160 She's fed. Vera. 150 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,400 It's the Bob and cancer show. I hate my partner. I'm going to kill him. 151 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,200 So we we were talking about our our second week. 152 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,920 It is it's we've gone through the whole second week. 153 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,320 A few things happened on Monday 154 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,200 when I did the radiation in the morning. 155 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,720 The thing about radiation, which I don't like, you can't have anything to eat 156 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,440 or drink for hours prior to radiation. 157 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,680 I forgot about that part.

I got the steroids. 345 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:04,080 I just got the funny thing is now it's Sunday and it feels like it was forever ago. 346 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,480 Yeah, that that happened. 347 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,040 That's why I thought it was week one. It seems forever ago. 348 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,120 Right. But it was just on Monday. 349 00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:11,280 Less than a week ago. 350 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,720 But it stayed with us. It's a pretty funny deal. 351 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:19,200 She's yes. So then, of course, we continued radiation through the week. 352 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,920 Same thing. Fifteen minutes in and out. 353 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:29,320 And I had my first symptom this week, which is it's hard to swallow. 354 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,800 That arrived on Saturday night. Yeah, just yesterday. 355 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,920 And but we're dealing with it. 356 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:39,920 Yeah, I'm guessing it'll be a little more difficult as the the radiation continues. 357 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:45,240 But while he still had the steroids rolling through him, he golfed again. 358 00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:46,880 I mean, he's still feeling great. 359 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,200 And I mean, the steroids last a few days. 360 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,800 So I felt pretty darn good. 361 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,960 I actually played around golf and he's still a heavy honey. 362 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,920 Actually did all right. I'm gaining weight. 363 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,480 Still gain away. Good man. 364 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:02,680 We've been experimenting with the various foods because I was told he needs to have 365 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,680 protein at least every three hours, because if you're not eating protein, 366 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,560 his body is going to eat the muscle and he'll lose muscle. 367 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,480 So we're really making that protein. 368 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:16,960 Non-stop protein. Yep. 369 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,320 So I was going to try a milkshake. 370 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,960 I bought a new blender. It's so beautiful and perfect. 371 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:28,280 So I thought I'll make him a delicious peanut butter and chocolate milkshake. 372 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:30,240 And we did it together. 373 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,080 We didn't know. We know nothing about making milkshakes. 374 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,240 That's Frank's job. 375 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,560 So I thought, well, I'll I'll add some peanut butter. 376 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,360 Oh, so much protein. 377 00:22:39,360 --> 00:22:43,800 And I just it was a little overboard, a little extreme. 378 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,640 And he couldn't even butter shake. 379 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:48,760 Usually has a hint of peanut butter. 380 00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,240 Tough to get that through the straw. 381 00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:52,880 It was bad. 382 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,640 And I don't know that you've had a milkshake. 383 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,000 Maybe you had one little chocolate one or something. 384 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,320 But he's not interested because I kind of turned him off of milkshakes now. 385 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,800 And they did say that it's very possible that my taste buds and stuff will change. 386 00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,440 Might change. This process. 387 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:07,640 Did that happen to Debbie? 388 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:09,640 I just a tad. 389 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,440 There were things she just didn't want anymore. 390 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,800 Yeah. And they said it's also possible that you might be cooking something 391 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:16,720 and I might be offended by the smell. 392 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:18,760 That happened to her a couple of times. 393 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,320 That's the Jimmy Pardo effect. 394 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,000 Yeah. Jimmy can't he can't remember the comic. 395 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:23,960 Jimmy Pardo. I remember him. 396 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,600 I don't remember the story. He has this thing where he cannot smell food cooking. 397 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,600 It makes him sick. He can eat it. 398 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,320 He'll eat it, but he can't smell it. 399 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,400 That's part of the best part. I know. 400 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:34,520 For some men. Yeah, it is. 401 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,800 Thanksgiving. I mean, I'm just saying. 402 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:39,600 He can't smell his wife cooking meat or anything. 403 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,640 So where does he go? I guess the other room. 404 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,480 I don't know. That's his problem. 405 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,520 I was going to say. I'm sure he's figured it out by now. 406 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,000 Probably. OK. 407 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Yeah, that's something that could happen to me. 408 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:55,240 Well, if not yet. 20 seconds or 20 minutes to prepare a meal, you have a solution. 409 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:56,720 That's correct. Yes. 410 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,160 Does this involve a bear spray? 411 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,480 Oh, I thought it was going to be another glow stick. 412 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,800 No, no, no, no, no. We've we've mined that. 413 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:05,840 Oh, I bet not. We've got everything we could out of that. 414 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,840 I bet that's coming back at some point. 415 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:14,040 And also this week, we actually had a visit with the surgeon. 416 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,520 There will be surgery after this process. 417 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,040 At the end. 418 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:25,000 And we were a little surprised as to what the surgery will entail. 419 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:31,240 It's they will actually take part of my esophagus and my stomach. 420 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:37,080 OK, they'll will be removed and they'll reconnect the esophagus and stomach. 421 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,720 And it's I thought it would just be one simple cut, but it's actual two cuts. 422 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:43,640 OK, the body. 423 00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,120 But they don't have to crack his sternum or cut him open like that way. 424 00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:49,200 It's just an abdominal cut. 425 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:56,840 And then it's a about a two week healing in the hospital after the surgery. 426 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,080 And hopefully a quick recovery for that. 427 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,920 Yep. Great. OK. 428 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:06,000 We have we were a little surprised by I might have cried. 429 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,200 Well, if she did. 430 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,440 I mean, I was worried. 431 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,560 I'm just curious. 432 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:11,920 And this gets in the weeds. 433 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,680 Why do they take part of it out instead of like this is where the cancer is? 434 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,800 What Debs was, they just went in and got the lump, the little lump. 435 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,600 So this must be a different thing. 436 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,960 I guess enough cancer in it that they have to shrink it. 437 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:28,000 I got it, which is what the radiation is shrinking that. 438 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,640 And then they it will not take it all away. 439 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,520 OK, they said in some rare cases it will take it all away. 440 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:35,960 So we have that great hope. 441 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:41,080 But even if it removes all the cancer, he still has to have the operation. 442 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:42,720 There's no there's no getting around it. 443 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:44,320 Yep. OK, that makes sense. 444 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,720 And it's a six hour operation. 445 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,520 So that was much more major than I realized. 446 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:55,800 Yeah. And it's 10 to 14 days stay in the hospital, which seems just huge. 447 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,000 I mean, people get their whole hip replaced and go home that next afternoon or something. 448 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:00,960 Yeah, it's amazing. 449 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,520 So it just seems so big to me that it felt really overwhelming for a bit. 450 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,400 But, you know, you just plow ahead and they know what they're doing. 451 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,120 They do three of these a day. 452 00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:13,240 Well, our surgeon is a child. Yeah, they're all they're all. 453 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,280 He's a young surgeon. 454 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:16,360 You know, I don't want that. 455 00:26:16,360 --> 00:26:18,360 I don't want the shaky old surgeon. 456 00:26:18,360 --> 00:26:22,440 No, you know, I want the young muscular surgeon who can take care of this. 457 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,440 We're of a certain age where all physicians seem really young anyhow. 458 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:27,920 And so he walked in the room. 459 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,680 I'm like, he's good looking. 460 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,440 I suppose. Young, young, handsome fella. 461 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,840 Yeah. I watched the NFL draft. 462 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,240 I didn't realize they're drafting eighth graders. 463 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,240 It seems like they just look like everybody looks so young. 464 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,280 They look like kids. 465 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,920 So anyway, that will be after you're done. 466 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,760 And they said approximately after the chemo and radiation, 467 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,360 it could be up to six weeks, maybe even eight weeks. 468 00:26:52,360 --> 00:26:55,120 OK, to allow his insides to heal. 469 00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:57,360 After all the radiation, there will be scar tissue, 470 00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:01,080 which will look like cancer unless it heals. 471 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,840 In terms of the image, they'll do a PET scan. 472 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,040 Yeah. So we'll let that heal and then we'll do a PET scan, 473 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,760 look at the size of the cancer that remains. 474 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,560 And that's when they'll go in and remove it. 475 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,960 And your target date to be done with radiation is when? 476 00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,000 We are done at the end of May. 477 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,800 Race week. OK, all right. 478 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,400 It will be during the Indy 500. 479 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:25,960 Which gives us great goals, honestly, 480 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,400 because we're working toward Bob being healed 481 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,400 and this cancer being gone and cured, 482 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:36,520 and then us resuming our normal life and activities. 483 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,600 And that's our expectation. 484 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,160 Well, our first goal is the race. 485 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,400 Every year we go down and camp for four nights, five nights. 486 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,360 I don't know, four or five nights across the street 487 00:27:47,360 --> 00:27:53,000 from the Indy 500, for those who don't know what the race is. 488 00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000 And so our goal is to be able to go down there. 489 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,680 We don't know yet what Bob's side effects are going to be. 490 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,560 I have no idea what condition I'll 491 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,760 be in at the end of week five. 492 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,560 You just don't and there's no way to know. 493 00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:06,440 No, we don't know. 494 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,160 So we're planning right now that we're still 495 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,400 going to camp in the Checkerboard Square compound. 496 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,600 And I told Bob we have to sleep somewhere. 497 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,760 So we're either because you're finished with treatment. 498 00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,800 You don't have to go back every day. 499 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:20,440 We might as well stay down there. 500 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,720 And if we can't go to the race because it's just too hot 501 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,080 or Bob is too tired, that's fine. 502 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:27,640 We'll stay and watch the race on TV. 503 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:28,280 Right. 504 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:32,000 Yeah, they said that there will be a great deal of exhaustion. 505 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,160 By then, I think for fatigue here. 506 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,200 Yeah, I think that's probably true. 507 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,680 I mean, fatigue, I don't want exhaustion. 508 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,600 I think you'll just be tired. 509 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,720 I think your butt will just be dragging. 510 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,520 Yeah, we can't picture it because he's not 511 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,840 a fatigue kind of guy. 512 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,480 No. 513 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,280 And I can't picture it. 514 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,920 I can't imagine it, but we expect it. 515 00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,880 So it's kind of like this throat tightening 516 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,920 that he's experiencing right now. 517 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,800 When they tell you ahead of time, it means nothing. 518 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,240 You don't know what it is until you feel it. 519 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,720 And I had bought this journal. 520 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:07,280 It's called a CAN plan. 521 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,360 It's a cancer planner kind of thing. 522 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,680 So I write down. 523 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,760 It's a handheld. 524 00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:13,600 It's like a, what do you call that? 525 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:14,520 It's an analog. 526 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,320 It's an analog. 527 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,760 It's not online. 528 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,680 And so I'm tracking the food that he eats and what time 529 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,440 so that I make sure he continues and stuff. 530 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,440 And I have a little section that's called a symptoms tracker. 531 00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,800 And it has been empty every day for two whole weeks 532 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,280 until yesterday when he said he felt this little tightness. 533 00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,600 And so I wrote that down and well, it has a little scale 534 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:37,440 of one to five. 535 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,800 Well, we don't know how to judge. 536 00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:39,320 No. 537 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:40,640 Is this a half? 538 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:41,360 Is this a one? 539 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:41,920 I wouldn't know how to say it. 540 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,080 It's a one for me because it's the first I've experienced it. 541 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,280 I don't know if it'll get worse. 542 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:47,280 I'm guessing it will. 543 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,320 It must or they wouldn't have mentioned it. 544 00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,600 So we just don't know. 545 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,920 And then Bob had said at one point one of the days, 546 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,680 I feel a little tired. 547 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,920 Well, we don't know if that's because he's been so busy 548 00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:01,000 outside. 549 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,400 And they pumped me up with the steroids at the start of the 550 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:05,800 week and towards the end of the week, they've worn off 551 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:06,600 and I am tired. 552 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:07,400 And you've been busy. 553 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400 But we don't know if that's a fatigue. 554 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:09,920 OK. 555 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:10,800 You know what I'm saying? 556 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,440 There's no way for us to judge until we're further in. 557 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:13,760 Right. 558 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,200 We're at the end of two weeks and Bob is 99% right now. 559 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:17,880 I feel all right. 560 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,560 I mean, I feel well enough to attempt a podcast. 561 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:22,360 Right. 562 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,800 So we'll see how if I'm well enough to do it next week. 563 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,040 I think you will be. 564 00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:28,400 I don't know. 565 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,200 We don't know what to expect. 566 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,120 Yeah, we don't. 567 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:32,760 So stay tuned for that. 568 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:33,600 I think so. 569 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:38,360 And then you were talking about ways to offset symptoms. 570 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:40,560 Yes, Bob, you were practicing. 571 00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:45,960 Well, as I told you earlier, that when you mention the word 572 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:50,200 cancer, some people have a tendency to believe that 573 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,160 marijuana is a good cure for cancer or it helps you get 574 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:54,680 around. 575 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:55,960 It helps you get around. 576 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,520 To manage your symptoms. 577 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:03,400 So I have like if you're not hungry, it might help you be 578 00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:03,880 hungry. 579 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:04,880 It might. 580 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,720 And that's what I've heard. 581 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,640 Well, it does work. 582 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:16,400 I tried some this week and it brought me back to the 70s. 583 00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:19,160 I wanted to go downstairs and turn up the stereo very loud. 584 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:19,800 Led Zeppelin. 585 00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,320 Yep. 586 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:20,800 Yeah. 587 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,040 You know, get up there and let it do what it does. 588 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:30,560 It does make you hungry and it does take away the little lump 589 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:31,080 in the throat. 590 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:31,800 He did it last night. 591 00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:33,120 So really, legitimately. 592 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:33,960 That's what I said. 593 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:34,640 Really? 594 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:36,440 Took away that pain. 595 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:37,320 Well, it's not pain. 596 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:37,880 It's not pain. 597 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:38,800 Just discomfort. 598 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,080 Just discomfort. 599 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,840 Took away that and made it easier to swallow. 600 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,760 And so I'm sticking with that. 601 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,880 So how did you do it? 602 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:48,920 I've tried two ways. 603 00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:49,200 Right. 604 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,360 I want to hear you describe it. 605 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,680 I've tried the lit. 606 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:54,080 Yes. 607 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,320 The smoke. 608 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,800 The hilarity of that was that, evidently, it's 609 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,960 like riding a bike. 610 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,240 You have to roll your own. 611 00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:03,880 And I was pretty good at it. 612 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,840 I should have taken a picture because. 613 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,400 I just wish I had an album cover to get rid of my scenes. 614 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,080 Yes, that's what they used to do. 615 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,720 But yeah, it is like riding a bike. 616 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,200 If you know how to roll a smoke, you don't forget that. 617 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,480 So I tried that. 618 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:19,240 And you know what? 619 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,120 The gummies are better. 620 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,320 Oh. 621 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,280 Because of. 622 00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:25,080 That surprises me. 623 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:28,040 The gummies take an hour to activate. 624 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:28,760 Didn't know that. 625 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:29,240 Yeah. 626 00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:32,120 So it has to go all the way through your system in order 627 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,640 for them to kick in. 628 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,800 When you smoke, it's an instant high. 629 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,760 But it's harsh on the throat. 630 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:42,640 The smoke itself. 631 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,320 Yeah. 632 00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:44,200 That makes sense. 633 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,280 When you're battling something with your throat, 634 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,520 probably not good. 635 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,200 Oh. 636 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,920 So you rolled all those joints up for nothing. 637 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:52,480 Well, you know. 638 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,520 What are you going to do with them? 639 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,200 There is the recovery period, hon. 640 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,640 So I'll have to sell those to someone out of state. 641 00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:01,520 Out of state, yes. 642 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,160 Yes. 643 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:04,960 So it. 644 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,360 Can you talk about where you got it? 645 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:08,840 I don't want to mention any names. 646 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:09,320 No, no. 647 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:10,600 The rolled up part. 648 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:11,880 Because I think that's funny. 649 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:12,720 Oh, here's. 650 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,720 Let me take you back to 2016. 651 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,560 Again. 652 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:18,120 Same trip. 653 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,120 Yeah. 654 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:22,840 After we left Glacier, we continued west and went to the coast of Oregon. 656 00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:25,760 OK. 657 00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:27,840 And in Oregon, it's legal to buy pot. 658 00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:30,640 It has been for a long time. 659 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,880 I'd never seen a dispensary before. 660 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,440 I've got to go in and take it. 661 00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:35,760 Well, I would have gone in. 662 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,320 We took pictures, put it on Twitter. 663 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:37,840 Oh, yeah. 664 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:39,320 Because it was completely legal. 665 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:40,000 I went in there. 666 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,360 There was every strain you could imagine. 667 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,120 You could get cookies, gummies. 668 00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:48,720 You could get bundles and bundles of joints. 669 00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:49,520

either. 702 00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,800 Do they grow different plants to make the different varieties? 703 00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,840 Different strains that they have. 704 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:55,520 Is it bullshit or is it real? 705 00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:56,720 That those are different? 706 00:34:56,720 --> 00:34:58,520 No, I think I've had some. 707 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:02,320

00:35:25,440 --> 00:35:26,000 Oh, sure it was. 723 00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,920 In the 70s when you were buying it. 724 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:28,400 Yeah. 725 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:29,240 In California. 726 00:35:29,240 --> 00:35:31,200 Then you could buy what was called a lid. 727 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:32,560 But what did you call it? 728 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:34,520 You could buy a lid for $10. 729 00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:35,920 And what's a lid? 730 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,280 That was, that rolled up about, I don't know, 20 joints, 30 joints. 731 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:40,880 It was. 732 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,600 50 cents a, that's cheaper than a beer. 733 00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:45,800 I have been making a mistake my whole life. 734 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,080 And Whit and I are here completely ignorant of all of this. 735 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,000 We are the opposite of a pothead. 736 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,520 But it was all illegal then. 737 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:59,280 And it's legal in half the states around this country. 738 00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:00,440 More and more now, right? 739 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,960 All the ones surrounding the state that we live in that will go unmentioned. 740 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,160 So on the gummies, how do you know? 741 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:07,400 Gummies come the same way. 742 00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:09,280 They are in different milligrams. 743 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,920 OK. 744 00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,520 They, I think the lowest might be three milligrams. 745 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:15,040 OK. 746 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,320 Are they different strains as well? 747 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:21,120 Well, this is, it's just different milligrams of THC. 748 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:21,640 THC. 749 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,200 So it starts low and goes all the way up high. 750 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:26,200 So it's just a nugget of THC. 751 00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,960 It's a nugget, a chewy nugget of THC. 752 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,600 Ah, OK. 753 00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:32,080 With flavoring or whatever. 754 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:32,600 Yeah. 755 00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:34,840 Mine is a sour apple. 756 00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,360 And it's delicious. 757 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:42,680 But it's, you decide how much you need. 758 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,280 And a. 759 00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:45,120 So he practiced. 760 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:51,400 Someone from the medical profession actually told me that five milligrams is probably all 761 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,320 I need to increase hunger and maybe relieve. 762 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:55,840 OK. 763 00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,720 That's what I kind of was asking is how you know how to dial that in. 764 00:36:59,720 --> 00:37:00,720 This was a real doctor. 765 00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:03,760 I actually heard it from the medical community. 766 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,360 I can't mention whom. 767 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,920 No, you better not. 768 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,920 Because I don't think they're allowed to. 769 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,720 Probably not. 770 00:37:10,720 --> 00:37:11,360 Prescribe that in certain states. 771 00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:17,520 Well, it was actually a question I asked when we first went in for our teaching time with 772 00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,320 the RNs or somebody. 773 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:21,160 And I said, well, what about pot? 774 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:22,600 I've heard that that might be helpful. 775 00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,200 And they're like, we cannot say anything about pot. 776 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:27,480 No. 777 00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,960 Because we're in a state where it's illegal, even medicinal. 778 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:30,680 Even medicinal. 779 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:31,160 Yes, correct. 780 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,880 And so they just said, we cannot discuss or not discuss it. 781 00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,320 I mean, they could discuss it with us. 782 00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:37,480 Chit chat, but they can't. 783 00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,440 They couldn't recommend anything as an option. 784 00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,120 Which is kind of sad, because if he felt last night when he had. 785 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:45,280 It made a huge difference. 786 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:46,200 It made a difference for him. 787 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:46,800 It really did. 788 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,480 And that's ridiculous that they're not allowed. 789 00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,680 I've just always been curious on the gummies how you know how to gauge that. 790 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:54,360 So you're saying. 791 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,040 It's all about the milligrams of TAC. 792 00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,320 So you took a gummy and cut it. 793 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,520 I had gummies that are 10 milligrams. 794 00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:03,360 So I cut it in half, took half of it. 795 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:04,480 And that did the trick for me. 796 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:05,440 That seemed to be fine. 797 00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:07,320 But did you start with a third or something? 798 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,400 Well, when I first got in it, I had never done gummies before. 799 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,840 I always smoked it. 800 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,080 So I tried a third. 801 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:16,920 And it was nothing. 802 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,520 Then a half. 803 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:19,160 The next day. 804 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,240 I mean, it's not right on top of each other. 805 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,120 Then a half didn't feel all that much. 806 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:25,200 And then I tried a whole one. 807 00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:26,880 That was too much. 808 00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:28,000 So what does that mean? 809 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:29,080 I was going to ask the same thing. 810 00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:29,440 I'm curious. 811 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:30,160 What's too much? 812 00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:32,120 Were you like, woo? 813 00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:33,400 Too much. 814 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:38,680 I could have just said, see you later and go to a concert. 815 00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:39,360 But you're home. 816 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,160 So what's too much? 817 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,240 I don't know. 818 00:38:42,240 --> 00:38:43,240 Tired? 819 00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:45,240 No, the buzz was just a little too much for me. 820 00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:47,360 Like you're confused and you don't know who I am? 821 00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,720 No, I know who you are. 822 00:38:49,720 --> 00:38:52,080 Could you watch a movie with too much? 823 00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:53,240 Or would you not understand? 824 00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:55,960 It might be tough concentrating. 825 00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:57,840 I don't understand how it works. 826 00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,160 We watch foreign films with subtitles. 827 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:07,440 It's hard to follow along with the bouncing ball. 828 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:08,880 See, I just can't even. 829 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,880 I'm just ignorant of it all. 830 00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:15,400 But it worked, I think, for me. 831 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:16,720 So he was trying without. 832 00:39:16,720 --> 00:39:19,280 It actually relieved some of the. 833 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:19,800 That's cool. 834 00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:24,160 He was making these experiments leading up to treatments. 835 00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:27,320 So because he wanted to know what he might need, 836 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,520 if it would work to do anything for him. 837 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,880 And then he wasn't doing it because he didn't need it. 838 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:34,400 He'd already figured out how much. 839 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,200 Yeah, I hadn't had any symptoms. 840 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,880 So why use it? 841 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,320 And then last night he tried it and felt relief. 842 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:40,880 That's great. 843 00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:41,720 Which I think is great. 844 00:39:41,720 --> 00:39:42,560 That's really good. 845 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:47,680 It really did calm what was bothering me. 846 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,920 So thumbs up for that. 847 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,360 The symptom away or if it takes your focus away? 848 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:53,480 That's what I was wondering. 849 00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,720 It probably clouds the brain. 850 00:39:55,720 --> 00:39:59,200 Either way, it doesn't matter, right? 851 00:39:59,200 --> 00:39:59,880 It's working. 852 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:02,080 I mean, that's what happens when a doctor gives you 853 00:40:02,080 --> 00:40:02,760 a painkiller. 854 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,480 It stops the pain in your brain. 855 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:07,000 Good point. 856 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:07,960 It stops it. 857 00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,000 You still have the hurt. 858 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:09,800 You still know it. 859 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,240 There you just don't realize. 860 00:40:11,240 --> 00:40:15,400 Well, then I say 100% do what you need to. 861 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:16,800 That's as that time comes. 862 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,760 I will use it as I need it. 863 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:19,400 Yeah. 864 00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,760 And I'm all for it. 865 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:23,520 Yeah. 866 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:25,360 It works. 867 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:29,080 Well, I'm the one who brings in the touchy feely things. 868 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,880 And I wanted to mention that after we had the surgery 869 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:34,240 consult and I was feeling discouraged, 870 00:40:34,240 --> 00:40:37,400 and Bob was fine because he's very practical. 871 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,560 And once he's kind of got his, I don't remember what word you 872 00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,240 use, but he's focused. 873 00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:43,360 And off he goes. 874 00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,520 And he went to golf that day. 875 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:50,640 And my son Joey came over to borrow the truck 876 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,520 for some gardening things. 877 00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,040 And I said, oh, Joey, I just need a hug. 878 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:56,120 We saw the surgeon. 879 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,560 And so I explained and talked to him. 880 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,000 Of course, I had a few tears. 881 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,000 And he said, mom, let's go for a walk. 882 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:03,240 Let's just go out in the woods. 883 00:41:03,240 --> 00:41:06,760 We live in a lot of woods here. 884 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,360 And he said, let's just go for a walk. 885 00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,720 And I said, oh, honey, you don't have time. 886 00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:11,960 You're working on the garden. 887 00:41:11,960 --> 00:41:13,520 You've got to study for the bar. 888 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:14,680 You've got so much going on. 889 00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:18,800 And he said, mom, if somebody's here and says, hey, 890 00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:22,320 I'd like to go for a walk with you, say yes. 891 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:24,120 And I thought, what a great lesson 892 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:28,800 that my young son would say, say yes. 893 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:29,760 And so we did. 894 00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:32,040 We went for about a half hour walk. 895 00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:35,960 And I came back up to the house feeling like a million dollars. 896 00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,680 Like, OK, now I've had fresh air. 897 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:44,800 I have a son who loves me and is encouraging and took time. 898 00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,040 Just a half hour. 899 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,800 But he took time to spend it with his sad mom. 900 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:51,760 You're both going through a completely different journey. 901 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:52,960 Yeah, it is. 902 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,160 It's very different. 903 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:55,400 I was the caregiver. 904 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,560 Yeah, tell me about your. 905 00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,840 And you go into that mode. 906 00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,920 And sometimes you want a hug. 907 00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:05,520 Other times, you don't want anybody to stop by. 908 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:06,200 Right. 909 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:10,120 You just want to bond with Bob and be there for him. 910 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,600 But he can focus. 911 00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,120 Yeah. 912 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,560 You have all the horrible what ifs in your mind. 913 00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:18,400 That's natural. 914 00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:18,920 That's true. 915 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:19,680 It's just natural. 916 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:23,840 I was telling Becky when you were out of the room that last night, 917 00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,720 I stopped by to let my daughter's dogs out. 918 00:42:26,720 --> 00:42:28,560 And they're just kind of across the street. 919 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:34,720 And I almost called just to say, do you feel like somebody's stopping by? 920 00:42:34,720 --> 00:42:39,640 But I didn't because you don't know where you are in that arc. 921 00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:46,840 Yeah, we don't normally just say, hey, come on over. 922 00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:49,920 Right now, we're in a kind of keep into ourselves. 923 00:42:49,920 --> 00:42:54,080 But I said, if he's that close, he's over at her house. 924 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,560 He's a minute away from us. 925 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:56,360 Come on. 926 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:57,320 Call at least. 927 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,120 And he said, Bob would. 928 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,800 Say, that's why we have caller ID. 929 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:01,320 That's right. 930 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,680 It's like, it's wit. 931 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:04,360 It's wit. 932 00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:05,160 Don't answer it. 933 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,240 But you know, it is. 934 00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:07,400 Turn off the lights. 935 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:10,000 Push me pull you if people want to be here for you. 936 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:10,520 Sure. 937 00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:11,440 Yeah. 938 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,440 And you should not hesitate to just say not today. 939 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:17,000 It doesn't mean you're having a bad day. 940 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,400 It just means. 941 00:43:18,400 --> 00:43:21,720 I also liked what you said the other day when you were talking to us 942 00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:23,240 about this same issue. 943 00:43:23,240 --> 00:43:26,320 You can just say when people who are they're not bugging us, 944 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,480 but they are asking frequently any updates, any updates, 945 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:33,720 how are things going, that when Bob inevitably isn't feeling good, 946 00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:35,640 because right now he is feeling good. 947 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:39,000 But inevitably in a week or two, you'll probably not feel good. 948 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,760 You can just say, he's not having his best day. 949 00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,800 And basically that will let them know, leave us alone. 950 00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:46,680 And it's true. 951 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,280 I will call if I need help. 952 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,040 I promise I will. 953 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:49,840 Oh, I know you will. 954 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:52,120 But I don't need help. 955 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,320 I would say that about that she's not having her best day. 956 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,840 And then people would respect that. 957 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:56,400 Sure. 958 00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,360 You don't owe them details. 959 00:43:58,360 --> 00:43:58,920 No. 960 00:43:58,920 --> 00:44:00,400 And you don't know details. 961 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:00,880 I don't. 962 00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,520 We don't. 963 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:02,560 You're so right. 964 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,280 But I'm just living my life as if I have a job now. 965 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:06,880 You do. 966 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,600 And I do have a job. 967 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,520 Be there every day, Monday through Friday. 968 00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,120 And I'm just, it's my job. 969 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,480 You were talking about trying to get your radiation moved up 970 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:17,440 a little bit. 971 00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:18,040 Success. 972 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:18,840 Did you get it done? 973 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:19,600 It did, yes. 974 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:20,440 Oh, so tomorrow. 975 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:21,960 We got it to 9 AM. 976 00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,240 It starts tomorrow morning. 977 00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:23,920 So that helps. 978 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:27,240 So I can wake up and don't have to starve myself for four hours. 979 00:44:27,240 --> 00:44:28,280 Good. 980 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:29,640 So yeah, 9 AM. 981 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,440 And then it's a 15 minute. 982 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:36,600 And then right over to the cancer treatment center upstairs. 983 00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,280 And that's three and a half, four hours. 984 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,280 And we are so grateful that they were able to do that. 985 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:44,200 Because those few hours in the morning 986 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:45,600 were not comfortable for Bob. 987 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,800 I felt like I had to go hide to drink my coffee. 988 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,680 The radiation, they have a number of patients 989 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:52,440 going through there. 990 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:58,600 And someone finished their stint and opened up a time slot. 991 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,120 So someone, I got somebody's time slot 992 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:03,920 who has completed their radiation. 993 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:04,560 Well, and when you. 994 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,080 But in the mornings, I just felt like I 995 00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,320 want to have a bowl of cereal. 996 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:09,920 Or I'm going to have a cup of coffee. 997 00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:10,480 And there's Bob. 998 00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,400 He can't even have a sip of water. 999 00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:13,880 And then you're sitting there thinking, I can't drink. 1000 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:14,480 I can't drink. 1001 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:15,040 I can't drink. 1002 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:16,120 It's horrible. 1003 00:45:16,120 --> 00:45:19,080 Honestly, he wouldn't mind if I drank my coffee in front of him. 1004 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,400 But I still feel like, eh, it's not the pleasure 1005 00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:22,800 that it would normally be of Bob. 1006 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,040 If I accidentally bump you and spill your coffee everywhere. 1007 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,320 Oops, sorry. 1008 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,880 He did ask the radiologist if he could have. 1009 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,320 And I thought this was such a smart question. 1010 00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:37,680 I said, is it OK if I chew gum prior to the treatment? 1011 00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:39,680 He goes, sure, that's fine. 1012 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:41,520 Because it's just your own saliva, right? 1013 00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,880 In that food or liquid in there. 1014 00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,400 And it's just my bodily fluids that I'm swallowing. 1015 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,880 So he went and bought some juicy fruit. 1016 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,080 So I went and got juicy fruit. 1017 00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,200 Haven't done that since the 70s either. 1018 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,720 I think they frown on clove. 1019 00:45:53,720 --> 00:45:55,160 Yeah, I think they do. 1020 00:45:55,160 --> 00:45:56,120 Beats some. 1021 00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:57,440 Beech nut. 1022 00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,200 Beech nut, yeah. 1023 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:00,280 Well, that's a good question. 1024 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:01,760 Blackjack, wasn't there one called blackjack? 1025 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:02,800 I loved all those. 1026 00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:04,920 Fruit stripe, you know, the whole nine year. 1027 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:05,800 They don't make that anymore. 1028 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:06,800 I don't think so. 1029 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:08,120 Fruit stripe I used to love. 1030 00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:10,120 I was looking for yikes, stripes. 1031 00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:10,720 Yes. 1032 00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:12,000 Remember that, grandpa? 1033 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,240 They don't have that. 1034 00:46:14,240 --> 00:46:16,480 There was a lot of gums. 1035 00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:17,920 What the hell are these? 1036 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,280 I have no idea. 1037 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:22,160 So let me tell again that after we 1038 00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,360 had this meeting with the surgeon and got the news 1039 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,080 about the time frame, it'll be about two weeks 1040 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:32,680 that Bob will be in the hospital 24 hours a day, staying there. 1041 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,080 Recovery after the surgery. 1042 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:34,880 Recovery, yeah. 1043 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,120 And healing inside and such. 1044 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,440 But it's a long stay, and we have Vera, 1045 00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,000 speaking of the clicking heels in the house. 1046 00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:45,120 And I had this because I'm the one who 1047 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,920 has to do the logistics now. 1048 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:51,080 Bob is working hard at healing and working toward this cure, 1049 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:55,200 and I need to do the logistics to get us set. 1050 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:59,520 And I started having a minor bout of fear 1051 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,040 and a little desperation. 1052 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:03,800 Like, what will I do? 1053 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,800 Although we're super grateful that we are so close 1054 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:07,560 to the hospital. 1055 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:08,520 Yeah, we're very lucky. 1056 00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:11,320 It's less than 15 minutes from our door to the treatment room. 1057 00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:12,560 But still, when you have a dog. 1058 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,600 But when you have Vera, and we have a big house 1059 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,080 that we have to deal with, there's 1060 00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:17,800 things that have to be done. 1061 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:21,200 So I was kind of telling my other son, Wade, about that. 1062 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,680 And Wade said, mom, you do not need to fret. 1063 00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:25,800 I'll house it. 1064 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,360 His girlfriend, Mackenzie, and he will house it. 1065 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:29,560 They'll take care of Vera. 1066 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,480 And he said, I may see you in the kitchen or something, 1067 00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:32,600 but you just realize. 1068 00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:33,280 Bless his heart. 1069 00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,960 You can be gone all day long, all night if you want, 1070 00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:37,560 and we'll be here to take care of Vera. 1071 00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:40,240 I was like, now that is some support. 1072 00:47:40,240 --> 00:47:42,120 And so many people don't have that. 1073 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:42,920 They have to go through this alone. 1074 00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,880 A lot of people ask, is there anything I can do for you? 1075 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:49,320 And at the time, we have nothing. 1076 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:50,640 We don't need anything. 1077 00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:51,640 You're very blessed. 1078 00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,200 But we are so blessed. 1079 00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:53,800 And you were, too. 1080 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,880 But it will come a time where we do need some help. 1081 00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:56,400 Yeah. 1082 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,200 And we're fine with asking. 1083 00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,960 It's not in my nature to ask. 1084 00:47:59,960 --> 00:48:03,560 It's more in my nature to be the helper. 1085 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:05,640 I'm a helper, nurturer, person. 1086 00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,080 And so asking for help doesn't come easily, probably, 1087 00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:10,280 to either one of us. 1088 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,080 But we will do it, because it's going 1089 00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:14,600 to be necessary at some point. 1090 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,800 We'll just have to tell Frank to make small portions. 1091 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,080 We were talking that anymore, it's 1092 00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:23,640 not like the old sterile hospital room that he'll be in. 1093 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,040 You've got media. 1094 00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,600 You'll be able to watch movies. 1095 00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,800 You'll be able to listen to podcasts. 1096 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,320 You'll be able to listen to podcasts. 1097 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:35,320 Yeah, I mean, he'll still be connected instead of this. 1098 00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:37,680 We were just there with my sister, Lynn, in fact. 1099 00:48:37,680 --> 00:48:38,480 Same hospital. 1100 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,440 It'll probably be a room very much like Lynn's, 1101 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:41,320 which was nice. 1102 00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:42,880 It was her very own room. 1103 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:46,880 The hilarity of the speaker for the television remote 1104 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:47,760 just hangs. 1105 00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,240 Oh, it's like the remote is the speaker. 1106 00:48:50,240 --> 00:48:50,760 Yes. 1107 00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,640 It's sort of silly. 1108 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,240 So I think we can take our own media. 1109 00:48:55,240 --> 00:48:57,000 We can take your iPad. 1110 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,560 I'm not going there for the media. 1111 00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,160 I'm going there for the recovery. 1112 00:49:00,160 --> 00:49:00,920 No, I know that. 1113 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:02,680 But you have two weeks maybe of boredom. 1114 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:03,160 I don't know. 1115 00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:03,560 Oh, no. 1116 00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,600 I can only do strip tea so much, Bob. 1117 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:07,240 Well, you know what? 1118 00:49:07,240 --> 00:49:09,480 I am never bored of that. 1119 00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:14,880 And if you'd like, I will help Becky prepare a list of movies 1120 00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,040 that I know you're fond of. 1121 00:49:17,040 --> 00:49:19,200 Oh, great. 1122 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:21,320 I have some titles. 1123 00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,000 I do. 1124 00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,520 All right. 1125 00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:30,960 So far, everyone, it's been a breeze with a few exceptions. 1126 00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:34,640 But it's not bad. 1127 00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:35,280 Not yet. 1128 00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,000 And we're knocking on wood. 1129 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:37,600 Yep. 1130 00:49:37,600 --> 00:49:39,040 It's an interesting. 1131 00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:40,560 We have a lot to be thankful for. 1132 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,080 Yes. 1133 00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:44,080 That we have this opportunity to fight, this opportunity 1134 00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:47,160 to go to battle against this partner of yours 1135 00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,320 that you're trying to kill. 1136 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:49,440 I want to kill my partner. 1137 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:50,200 I know you do. 1138 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,160 Mm-hmm. 1139 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:53,320 We have an opportunity. 1140 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:56,120 We need a similar Bob. 1141 00:49:56,120 --> 00:49:57,040 33 years of. 1142 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:58,120 Let's leave it at that. 1143 00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,040 No, I love that man. 1144 00:49:59,040 --> 00:49:59,840 Yeah, I know you do. 1145 00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:00,640 I know you do. 1146 00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,200 And Tom is just the best. 1147 00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:03,440 He's just fantastic. 1148 00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:06,120 He's been very supportive and loving to Bob, 1149 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,520 which your fans ought to know. 1150 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:08,400 Yeah, he's a good man. 1151 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:09,360 He's the best. 1152 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,920 Just reaching out to Bob. 1153 00:50:10,920 --> 00:50:13,920 And the fans probably have the wrong idea 1154 00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,920 of their personalities just from the show. 1155 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:20,560 But Tom has been beautiful about it all. 1156 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:21,640 Just beautiful. 1157 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,160 Tom allows to be the ass bag. 1158 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:24,160 He takes it. 1159 00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:24,920 He is. 1160 00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:25,440 Yeah. 1161 00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,560 I mean, that's what everyone assumes. 1162 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:29,640 He's just an ass bag. 1163 00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:30,680 But he isn't. 1164 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:31,760 He's a great man. 1165 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:32,240 Yeah. 1166 00:50:32,240 --> 00:50:34,160 He's that and much more. 1167 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,920 Yes, there is ass baggery. 1168 00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,680 But he is a wonderful human. 1169 00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:40,200 Yes, he is. 1170 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:43,920 I also wanted to mention that late at night, 1171 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,640 we find ourselves talking differently late at night 1172 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:53,240 about feelings, fears, symptoms, whatever. 1173 00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:56,440 And you can find yourself getting overwhelmed with that. 1174 00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,920 And so Bob had a suggestion of a show 1175 00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:02,520 we could watch before bed. 1176 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,080 And it has been the most beautiful experience. 1177 00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:06,800 Oh, yeah. 1178 00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:07,400 It's fun. 1179 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,520 OK. 1180 00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,600 We have the Paramount Plus. 1181 00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:12,800 I'm sure a lot of people do. 1182 00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:16,960 And they offer the complete black and white. 1183 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:17,640 Yay. 1184 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,360 Andy Griffith show. 1185 00:51:19,360 --> 00:51:21,960 So our tradition each evening now 1186 00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:25,760 is to end with one or two episodes of Andy Griffith. 1187 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,400 And I've always been a fan, like an enormously ridiculous fan. 1188 00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:30,640 I forgot how well written it is. 1189 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,320 Well, but Becky said it's in sequence. 1190 00:51:33,320 --> 00:51:33,800 Yeah. 1191 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:34,320 Oh, yeah. 1192 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:34,600 It started with episode one. 1193 00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:35,440 I mean, it's not just random. 1194 00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:36,160 You're watching. 1195 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,560 We started season one, episode one. 1196 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:38,520 That's very cool. 1197 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,640 When FB came to them, the first episode. 1198 00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:41,560 Very cool. 1199 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,200 It's a nice way to end the evening. 1200 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,400 And we get to enjoy it in a different way 1201 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:47,720 than we would normally. 1202 00:51:47,720 --> 00:51:52,000 It's for the purpose of encouragement, love, joy. 1203 00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:53,600 Mayberry is beautiful. 1204 00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:54,440 It's a great town. 1205 00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:58,480 And it just gives us this peaceful feeling 1206 00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,800 when we're off to La La Land. 1207 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,760 It's nice. 1208 00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:03,720 Nice way to end it. 1209 00:52:03,720 --> 00:52:04,200 Yeah. 1210 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,000 And we get some good laughs out of it. 1211 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,280 Well, may I offer a toast? 1212 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:07,760 Cheers. 1213 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,120 Here's to week three. 1214 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:09,680 All right. 1215 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:10,840 We're coming up. 1216 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,960 We'll keep you all informed as to how things go. 1217 00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:16,720 And I'll let you know one more time. 1218 00:52:16,720 --> 00:52:18,480 This is the Bob and Cancer Show. 1219 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:19,600 I hate my partner. 1220 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,280 I'm going to kill him. 1221 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,720 You've been listening to the Bob and Cancer Show. 1222 00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,720 Tune into our next episode as we continue to follow Bob's 1223 00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:29,480 journey. 1224 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:32,840 Bob Gavoyan appears courtesy of Bear Be Gone Bear Spray. 1225 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,600 Bear Be Gone, don't try this at home. 1226 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:45,280 This is Whit Grayson speaking.
