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

Pretty much my bucket list, I'm doing whatever the **** I want. Got me another tattoo earlier.

Might as well live it up the best I can.

Still got an idea no one thought of....I wont drive anymore but I think I'm going to buy a bicycle tomorrow.

Getting the tattoo wore me out....so I figured I can do what I want for about 4 hours a day before my body starts shutting down

I think about you daily and this is the first place I check out when I visit. If there is anything that would help you, you have my contact info.

You can come down and let me take you out to lunch....I mean you're definitely a charity case

If you look closer my right hand never healed correctly. The skin on my knuckles is permanently stuck to the bones in my hand.

Mail them an empty bottle of painkillers and then inform the police that they’re stealing narcs from you. That’ll show those MFs

Instead of sewing a label on the inside of your underwear to remember who the hell you are, you went and tattooed your name on your hand.

Much quicker!

Did you get the bicycle? If you haven't gotten one yet, I would recommend a belt drive bike, or perhaps an electric bike....
