12/16/21 - Thursday

Today is Stacy's birthday.  She's 45.  My birthday doesn't bother me.  Hers does.  I've just got to start telling people I was a child bride, that's all there is to it.

David took me to Houston for my CT Scan and I'm sure glad.  I was sure wimpy coming out of there today.  Very little sleep the night before, chemicals in my blood stream, a brain that won't quit = a recipe for disaster.  I slept quite a bit of the way home this morning.  Poor David.  He didn't get much sleep, either.  However, he fell asleep in his recliner when we got home.  

We had a date night last night.  Dinner at Pappadeaux Seafood restaurant (my personal favorite), then off to see Christmas light displays.  It was beautiful and I'm glad we did it.

I won't get my results for 24-72 hours, so I'm not holding my breath for a phone call by tomorrow.  I reckon I'll have to go through the weekend wondering.  I go back to see the spine doctor tomorrow morning.  They will have the results of my x-ray and MRI from Tuesday and they'll go over my options.

Hey, by the way.....

Does anyone know what page of the bible explains how to turn water into wine?

- Asking for a friend...

I made a salad for dinner tonight.  Figured we needed to eat healthy after last night.  Actually, it was a fruit salad.  Well, mostly grapes.  Ok, all grapes.  Fermented grapes.  Wine.  Ok, ok, we had wine for dinner.

  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...
