8/11/21

It’s Wednesday. I slept better last night than I have in a very long time. I turned my phone off, too, so nothing woke me up, either. I am very hopeful that tonight proves the same. I went for radiation today, and it went just fine. I hadn’t been back at the RV very long, when my phone rang. It was a representative for my spinal stimulator. He said if I could meet him at MD Anderson, he could help me today. I thought that was wonderful and I asked him what time. He said, now. I grabbed my stuff and took off. The staff at the front door know me by name now. And they rotate shifts there. That’s pretty sad, isn’t it? And I have many, many weeks to go. We had a couple of storms blow over this afternoon, but not much rain with it. I had to drive home in rush-hour today, and that always frustrates me. Rush-hour traffic and I do not get along very well.

So far, I have two appointments tomorrow. The first one is at 11 AM and it’s supposed to last for an hour and a half. Then I have radiation at 1 PM. They are not in the same place, though, so I will have to drive from one to the other. It should work out about perfect for me. I will leave home at 10:30 AM and will be back at 2 PM, if all goes well.

The compression sleeve and glove I ordered were supposed to be here yesterday. They didn’t arrive. My tracking number says they’re in a post office in North Carolina, and they’re working on the issue. What the heck? Mail it!

So, if a cow does not produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure?

  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...

  5/12/2025 It’s been five months since I’ve written in my blog. Several people are upset with me for taking such a long break. However, my life just hasn’t been very exciting these past few months. I will appease the masses and update my blog today. David and I went on a seven day cruise in January and I continued with physical therapy twice a week for my back. David and I took a road trip in February and March. We drove thousands of miles and stopped in to see a lot of old friends along the way. We made it to Vegas and we got to see Garth Brooks in concert. That was a lot of fun. We kept going through Utah and Colorado and finally made our way back home. I cut almost 10 inches off of my hair in March. It was my first real haircut in years. I had another sleep study done and saw the pulmonologist several times. He wanted a special kind of sleep study so I went back for a third one. He ordered me another CPAP machine, but this one has a different mouthpiece and I sleep pretty well ...

12/10/25 Thursday First of all, good news. My latest cancer test came back negative.  I am currently in Las Vegas, supposedly having a grand time, but I am not. I got food poisoning and spent all day yesterday in bed. At least when I wasn’t vomiting or had diarrhea. All dang day. By evening, I was so weak I could barely walk. The hotel called paramedics and they took me to the ER. I was there until 11:30 PM last night. Poor David. I felt so sorry for him. It was a horrible evening and I’m still weak this morning. I haven’t eaten anything since Tuesday evening . We’re supposed to fly home tomorrow. I sure hope I’m better than this by then. I got show tickets for last night with spectacular seats and David had to take them back and get our money back. At least we got to go to the national finals rodeo Tuesday night. That was so much fun! Today doesn’t look like much fun, though. I feel horrible. They did a lot of scans at the hospital. Showed a lot of scarring in my right lung, which...
