3/4/22

Woo-Hoo!  I'm leaving tomorrow for my cruise!!  Who's excited?!?  Who's already all packed?!?  I saw the surgeon today and he said other than the raw, icky, spots where the steri-strips were, everything looks good.  No more bandages, just keep it clean and don't abuse it.  I'd never do that....  No heavy lifting, etc., still.  That's ok.  Jessica will be here this evening and she'll drive us to New Orleans tomorrow.  We'll spend the night at the casino (well-played, right?), and leave in time to board the ship at noon.  Ish.  I'll be back on the 13th.  It's a Sunday and we'll dock early in the morning.  I'll be able to get off the ship with the first round of passengers because I'm Platinum or some other kind of mineral.  I'm just that special.  We'll head back home (7 hours), and she'll discard me at my doorstep and head back to Conroe (another 3 hours).  She'll have a long day.

We both got our COVID tests done today and the results came back negative, so we're allowed to go into their special casino in New Orleans and get on the ship.  I don't know anywhere else that requires a mask, and negative test proof or vaccinations, like the mayor of the city does to let you into a building.  What a zoo.

I'll have some WiFi, and my phone will work in Mexico, so I'll check in with David so he doesn't worry so much.  He's already worried about me.  Geez.  No contact in Honduras nor Belize, so if we're mugged or I have a stroke, you'll never know about it.  No news is good news.  That's what they say!

I don't usually brag about going on expensive vacations or going to expensive places, period.  However,   I'm gonna let ya'll know that I DO go to expensive places, sometimes on a regular basis.  AND... I just stopped at the gas station.  Again.  Impressed?

Bye!

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...
