bleeding sinuses

This is kinda icky but it's so weird,  I want to share. 

... 

Two days ago, I had the first nosebleed I ever had as an adult. I was at work so I stuffed tissue up my nostril and put on a face mask to cover it for the rest of my shift. 

Just now, I sniffed and felt like there was a glob of mucus in my throat and went into the bathroom and spit out a huge glob of congealed blood.  

Now my mouth and throat taste like iron. I find this very disturbing but MonsterMustDie says I'm over-reacting. 

Winter Solstice 2023

MonsterMustDie had his first oncologist appointment in the afternoon. We waited 45 minutes for a 5 minute visit. The doctor came in, gave us a limp handshake, and simply said he was ordering a PET scan and he would see him again in three weeks if the scan was done and he had results to look at. His cancer is rated at Gleason 8 and PSA level 7.  

We had friends and neighbors at the house for Winter Solstice in the evening. Michael and Marcia could not come because Michael's back in chemo for #5-leukemia. 

Bob & Karen came and were a huge help in layout and cleanup for the gathering. 

My brother Jeffery and sister-in-law Robyn came all the way from Charlottesville, Virginia to be with us that night. They stayed at the Adams Inn on my recommendation and we had breakfast with them this morning before they headed back home. 

When we got home and were coming in, the PET lab called and set up his appointment for the afternoon of January 3. It was good to get that on the schedule and be one step closer to dealing with this health crisis in whatever way we need to. 

I worked the afternoon at the dress shop. I almost forgot to go. I lost track of the days and my schedule. I made it back home from work by 6:33pm to find MonsterMustDie already in bed for the night.

Yesterday, MonsterMustDie announced to friends on Facebook that he has prostate cancer. We know nothing yet about his condition other than the first basic diagnosis.  He has his first appointment with an oncologist on Thursday. 

I work early Thursday morning.  After work,  I'm planning to go with him to his appointment in the afternoon. 

That evening is our Winter Solstice party,  which I would have never planned if he had told me when his appointment was. He forgot or got the week wrong,  so he didn't tell me the date until this weekend after invitations had already gone out. 

My hope is the party will be a distraction from our troubles and that everything doesn't go down in flames.

I have no idea what that means.  

still working it out

There was some progress made with my ongoing troubles at my condo in Atlanta. On Friday, December 1, I met with a Senior Banker and transferred all but $0.69 from my original account into an entirely new account. The old account is still active, frozen, and I am told that my property manager/realtor can make payments to that frozen account but no one can make any withdrawals from it while it is frozen. I hope that solves the problem. 

The other good news is that the last withdrawal by him of $2,486.00 was successfully caught and blocked after all, according to my bank. 

I am still worried about what he is going to do to me at tax time if he claims I made a lot more money than I did. I am afraid he can put anything he likes on my W9 for my condo. I know nothing about what companies can or can’t do with tax forms. 

I probably need an attorney. 

I definitely need a new property manager.
