Been having health issues for a while now.

Just got the news yesterday from my last test.

I officially got ****ing cancer in my gut.



Edit:
Sorry all,

Had a couple of days that weren't the best.

It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.

My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.

I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.

Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

Thanks,
HayWire

Anybody want a lazy job? I think it's $14 or so just to watch TV and remind me to take my meds.

I've actually been feeling good but the wife insists I have a babysitter everyday.

If you can't find anyone, I'll call you every few hours to tell you to take your meds for $14/hour.

[Buddy Rich]

I'll do it for $13 an hour and we split your painkillers.

[threebag]

If I lived closer, I’d come over and do it for free.

[HayWire]

You guys just want my drugs. I've got the really good stuff

[LiveSteam]

I believe the hospital gave me 6 micro grams of fentinal Saturday morning.
I'm still in a daze from that shit. It like I'm drunk 24 hours a day.
Yuk

I have to wear fentanyl patch 24 hours a day and then a dose of morphine, then some hydro pills 3 times and a bunch of other pills.

I'll trade you places

Plus I have to sleep in a ****ing diaper.
All this shit is cutting into my "Gay Day" time.

Oh yeah, my memory is ****ing shit and getting worse

Yeah for cancer....it's like that fat chic you banged and now she won't go away.

I need some ideas for something odd to impress people

I talk like I’m drunk 24 hours a day and haven’t been drunk in over 2 years. Slurring and slobbering all over the place. Afraid to talk on the phone, and when I’m out in public cops give me the stink eye.
**** em
sec

I'm thinking a wholesome picture of watching a Chiefs game from bed, in a bunny suit, with the leg lamp in view.... family also watching, just a completely normal Sunday afternoon pic.

Have a super secret trick.

It takes about 15 minutes to actually type something
If I post something stupid we'll blame all the drugs

Maybe that will be a gayday.

Hey look everyone, HayWire is laying in best. Could be a classic

[Megatron96]

Good to hear from you, Haywire. You seem more lucid today. Hope that means you're at least feeling a little more like yourself.

How do you know? I think HayWire is perfectly capable of making his own sexy time choices.

Glad OP is hanging on and still with us.
