I gave Pompom cough medication this morning. He was coughing bad with this medication, his cough has stooped. When Pompom was getting better, he cuddled next Tiny and shared the same bed.
Tiny used to be bigger than Pompom. Tiny lost almost 5 Lbs while Pompom gained 2 Lbs. Pompom looks so much bigger. But they are really happy to be together.
Pompom's cough has not improved. I have decided give him OTC cough medication to how he react. When he start coughing, he cannot stop for 5 to 30 minutes. He could not sleep. If I can stop his cough, his quality of life will improve. He has a good appetite. I hope this cough medication work.
My Late 2012 Mac Mini Server
with 2.3Ghz Quad-Core Intel i7
I am retiring my Mac Mini soon.
Actually, I am not retiring it. I am decommissioning the system and refurbishing it with two brand new SSD drives. I am switching my daily computer to the new MacBook Pro for now.
Compared to the latest Mac Mini ... it has 2.8Ghz dual core Intel i5 processors. My 6 year old Mac Mini has 2.3Ghz qual core i7 processor. It should be faster than the current system. The only problem was the hard disk speed. With two new SSDs I purchased for $230, it will be as fast as any Mac Mini out there.
I will let you know when I complete the transition.
Pompom is continues to have weeping (hissing sound) cough. I think there is some heat around his neck. We have started to put ice pillow under his chin. I hope this is a temporary thing. We are keeping close eye on him.
I bought a cold (hope fully not a full). I don't have time to get sick.
I need to start working on the system proposal for online restaurant ordering system and App development. But my head is not clear.
Pompom's weezing cough continues when he stand up. I hope he is not in pain. Because of his chemo, he lost a lot of energy and appetite. I am also suffering from a cold. I hope we both will recover soon.
Pompom is trying to cool down at cooling mat. He did this when he started his chemo 100 days ago. The lymph nodes became very hot and started to shrink. I am going the new chemo is doing the same to his lungs or wind pipes.
He is a fighter. And I am watching very closely. I will not make him suffer unless he is getting better.
Pompom was doing better when we were doing weekly chemotherapy. Although, his lymph nodes are normal, we suspect the cancer may have spread to his lungs or breathing pipes. We can do the testing to make sure but the fact he was doing better with weekly chemo tells us we have not gotten rod of the cancer.
So, we started on the chemo that tends to stay longer on his lungs instead if targeting his lymph nodes. We are also starting the test medication to open up his wind pipes. We are getting back to weekly treatment.
We made to 100 days ... our next target is 150 day. It feels like Pompom started his fight with cancer again.
Today marked the 100th day since Pompom started his chemotheraphy. He is having problem breathing so we are at the vet this morning. I hope we can treat his cough and breathing problem. We do not want to make him suffer.
Mr. Miura whom I know for over 30 years is coming out of retirement to help us start PSPinc operations in Japan later this year. He finished his 5 day stay in Bellevue.
Pompom slept very well last night waking up only twice to cough. Those coughs did not last long like they did few day ago. He finished his antibiotics medication this morning and we are farther reducing the steroid intake. He will see a doctor tomorrow.
Everything that uses storage requiring more and more capacity. Not many people know anymore that we used to store data on the floppy disk that can hold 320KB. Nowadays, if you shoot a photo, it takes 10 time as much as a floppy disk.
Our data center started with 32GB SCSI hard disk ... Now we are talking petabytes (1000 times the terabyte).
Pompom cough is continuing. I contacted the doctor this morning. I will setup an appointment this Friday to see what is going on. We may have to go back to weekly chemotherapy.

Pompom is not coughing a lot at night. But I am starting to cough and felt chill last night. I hope I am not coming down with a cold or flu. I don't have time for that.
Watch this video ... Japanese figure skater Hanyu after his gold medal performance, he came to the interview. He put all his stuff on the ground except Japanese flag. He ask someone to hold the flag during the interview saying he cannot put the flag on the ground.
PS: I am not a fan of figure skating but this action is so great that I have to mention it.
Although Pompom is coughing much less than last week, his coughing continues despite steroids and antibiotics. Chemo medication made his cough little less ... that means his lymphoma may have spread to his lung. We must wait and see. He is sleeping well with humidifier. I ordered large capacity humidifier today from Google Express.
When we opened our data center in Seattle, we thought we will run out of space in lee than a year. After 13 years, we have not filled up our space. That is not because we are not getting new customers, we are getting more data density on our servers. That is amazing.
2/16/2018 9:48am ... All South bound I5 traffic was turned around to I5 North this morning. I have no idea what happened. Does anyone know what happened?
Pompom is having breathing problem when he stands up. But he has good appetite and moving as well as I could hope for. It is good thing that he has a doctor's appointment.
He is very happy to see me and so am I. I heard from Mayumi that Tiny's wight is less than 10lbs. He is getting skinnier. I am very worried about that as well. I hope tiny and Pompom have more days together.
I came back to see Pompom sicker than when I left. He has developed the breathing issue and making funny noise when the breath. I will talk to a doctor tomorrow. He was very happy to see me.
I don’t have any new picture to post. I will be leaving Japan and heading home tomorrow. I am happy that Pompom will be able to welcome me. On Friday, I will take him to chemo. I will ask the doctor about his breathing problem to see if there is anything we can do.
I checked out from the hotel and headed west to my house in Ashiya. Tokyo was cloudy but it is raining in Ashiya. This this a three day weekend in Japan. Because of that the train was full.
This is not an light rail ... it is a heavy rail system which can transport much more people at faster speed. The trains run every few minutes. It was developed longtime ago and being updated constantly. Also, it is still expanding.
Transportation charges are based on the distance. They have fully automated ticketing and gating system at every station. Safety records are high except for occasional subsides.
Is this what many cities in the US are trying to implement?
Pompom’s challenge to loose weight has started. We just want to make sure his wind pipe is not squeeezed by his own weight. I have rest of today in Tokyo and traveling to Osaka.
I just found out Pompom now weight 15.5Lbs ... That is 2Lbs over what he used to be. We really need to make him loose weight. I am asking people at the company not to give him the treats and make him meal smaller. It is a matter of making him able to breath.
He is winning a battle with cancer, I will not loose him for breathing problem.
When I was here in Japana last time, we have not started his chemotherapy yet. The treatment started day after I came back from Japan. That was 84 days ago. While I was in Japan, I went to Sensoji 浅草寺 temple and asked for his wellness.
After 84 days, my wish is being granted. I went to Sensoji again and thanked. I hope he will continue to win the battle against his cancer.
Pompom needs to be on diet to loose weight ... As he gain weight, his wind pipe gets squeezed making him harder to breath. He used to weigh little over 13 pounds but he is now well over 14 pounds. He needs to get back to his old weight.
Just after taking off from Seattle TacomaOlympic MountainsFlying near Narita, ChibaNarita Airport gate 41Bus to the hotel .... TYopkyo SkytreeView of Mt. Fuji and Shinjyuku
It was a nice flight and arrived in Japan on time. I am now checked into a hotel and relaxing.
I am traveling to Japan to day and will be back on next Thursday. It will be the first time I will leave Pompom since he started his chemotherapy. He is doing okay so I am hoping nothing bad will happen but I am worried. But Pompom in in the good hands with people around him.
Look Very Good This is what I purchased at Home Depot.
I replace the flooring on the bath room today.
I took out the carpet few weeks ago and it was ready for new floor.
I purchase the vinyl flooring but it look like a wood.
Total cost ... less than $300 and I spent about 4 hours today.
Not too bad.
PS: I am not usually a handyman.
It was one of the biggest project I have every done.
I am just too cheap to hire someone.
Pompom was flooded by this corgi at the park this morning. Pompom has recovered from the chemotherapy. I am traveling to Japan starting tomorrow so I am worried but I think he will be fine while I am gone. His next chemo is on the 16th which will be a day after I come back from Japan. He has never had this much time between the chemotherapies.
i don't see any reason to worry but I worry. I guess that is the nature of owning an old and sick dog.
USStock Market has lost over 2.5% in one day. Let few days have been the biggest stock loss since Donald Trump became President. The stock market has been a bull market for over 14 months. It is amazing.
Pompom is doing as well as we could expect. I don't see any trace of lymph nodes enlarging. That is a very good thing. But in back of your mind, you always think about what is going to happen next. I guess all we can do is t enjoy the time with Pompom.
I don't know why but all dogs and I are very sleepy this morning. Pompom is recovering from his chemotherapy on Monday. He is starting to get some appetite back.
It is fun t have three dogs with me. I enjoy the company.
Today marks 11 weeks since Pompom started his chemotherapy. He is doing well considering he had hard time breathing 11 weeks ago. Pompom has no appetite since yesterday. I think this is due to the chemo he received on Monday. I hope re recovered from it soon.
