It's Monday.  I haven't written for a week.  I know, I know.  My bad.  I don't have much to write about even now.  We took Courtney and Warren camping last week and had a blast.  No internet.  Lots of smores.  Good times.  I couldn't go hiking, but I went fishing a bit.  I wish my back were better than it appears to be, but they said they wouldn't even program it for 6 weeks.  Again, I still have no patience.  David and I will be leaving next week for Key West so that we can catch our yacht to go sailing.  Heh, heh.  I'm SO excited about that trip!  I will be able to get in the water by then, so I'm taking snorkel gear for sure.  I don't know how much walking I will be able to do while in Key West, tho.  My back isn't that grand yet.  I did have a major breakthrough today, tho.  I put clean sheets on my bed without taking a break to sit down.  That hasn't happened in a very long time.  Now, I'm not saying my back didn't hurt.  I wanted to sit down, but I was determined to complete my task without a break.  And I did it.  I promptly went to find David so I could brag.  However, he didn't realize I couldn't do it in the first place, so that was a bummer.  Oh, well.  

We're expecting some truly nasty weather tonight so we've put away lawn furniture, etc., outside.  The sky is looking quite angry and we've received tornado reports already.  We're in the red zone for quite awhile, so that's not good.  

This past week I learned that 5 year olds can contribute a great deal to sleep deprivation even when their mother is also visiting.  I didn't realize how tired I was until they left yesterday.  I told David I was going to take a nap and I woke up 4 hours later, and that was only because the phone rang.  Holy cow.  

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary Saturday.  It's hard to imagine being married this long.  Doesn't seem like it.  I'd do this all over again, for sure.  I've had a good life.  I chose well.  And he thinks he's the lucky one....

Speaking of marriage....

David and I were sitting in the den last night and he was flipping through channels like always.  I asked him what was on the TV.

He said, "Dust".

He'll be out of intensive care in a few weeks......

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...
