Today is Sunday and we just made it back to Houston. Another 200 miles, but this time in a three-quarter ton diesel pick up. It was easier than going home, but it was no picnic. I was sure glad when we finally got here. I have an appointment tomorrow at 1:30 PM. Then two appointments Wednesday morning, back to back. I will get a lot of questions answered at those on Wednesday morning. My diagnosis changed considerably when they found all those lymph nodes were  involved. I am now stage III C. So, treatment may be different than originally planned. I just don’t know yet. There is no stage III D. From there it goes to stage four, and we certainly don’t want to hear that. My stage is curable, but stage four is treatable, not curable. it was sure nice being home for a few days. Our neighbor, Bonnie, brought us over a meal and that helped us out a lot. I had a surprise visitor yesterday evening and she brought some goodies for me, too. Sure did make my day. Thank you, Pauletta! I miss seeing my friends more than anything, I think. I’ll be glad when this Covid thing is over with and we are home again.

    Our God is almighty and powerful. May He bring healing,
    comfort, and peace. In this and all things, may His will be done.

    "...with GOD all things are possible." Matt.19-26

    Embrace us now, O Loving Father, in your loving care,
    particularly Patty Dimaio for whom this prayer
    intention is offered. May the Spirit of Jesus bring us
    all health in soul and body, that with joy and
    thanksgiving we may praise you for your goodness,
    through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

1/10/25 It's Friday.  2025.  Holy cow.  When I was a kid, I thought in 2025 we'd be living in space or something and robots would be our maids.  Like Rosy, on the Jetsons.  This is gonna be a nutshell post: I had several doctor appoints since I last wrote. Had another sleep study for something my cardiologist ordered.  Long word, can't remember it.  I bought a new car.  Christmas was simply delightful with all the kids home.  ct/DNA test came back negative (woo-hoo!).  Went to Houston to MD Anderson this week for an MRI and my surgeon will call me this afternoon with the results.  However, I read in MyChart last night that my tumor had  grown only a tiny amount in the past 2 years, so I'm stopping the MRIs because it's probably benign. (woo-hoo!)  I'm still doing physical therapy twice a week in the pool to try and help my back.  We went to a New Year's Eve party and I did something a friend told me about.  I tol...

  6/16/25 I’m back. By a show of hands, everyone that loves my charts, and patient portals, etc. raise those hands high! Hmmmm, I see none going up. I have sent messages on my patient portal on several occasions and heard nothing back. So, I call the office and leave a message, because you never get a real person the first time. No one calls me back. I think I might drive to the office tomorrow. ….. sigh. On a good note, my ctDNA test came back negative. Hooray! And I go back to MD Anderson in Houston in two months. I have an endoscopy in three weeks. I see my rheumatologist in two days. I need to get my dermatologist to take a look at my head. It’s been five weeks since she cut that open and it still has not healed. It’s still scabby and bloody. So, I still cannot get in the pool. And I have to stay out of the sun. It looks pretty icky on the top of my head, I’m sorry to say.  David and I celebrated my good news by going to Shreveport this past weekend. We had a good time. Th...

  12/16/24 It's Monday.  Today is my daughter Stacy's birthday.   I was supposed to get my glasses last Monday, then Wednesday, then Thursday - they finally came in.  I was chastised for calling in to get the status when I'd signed up for text messaging, however, I never got a text message.  Ever.  They lied to me 3 times about why they were late.  About why it took 25 friggin' days to get them, etc.  They think nothing about lying to customers at the optical department of Sam's Club.  I dislike them so much that I would be willing to unplug them from life support just so I could charge my cell phone. So, now I wea bi-focals.  I have not gotten used to them yet.  My close-up vision is much better, but my distance vision...... not so much.  David says I just need to get used to them.  Of course, this advice is coming from a man that sat down to eat breakfast and thought his toast was too cold.  Any reasonable pers...
