It’s Friday. I’ve been on steroids all week for my foot, and some days I think it helps a lot. Other days, not so much. Just not so sure what’s wrong with it. No one has called to schedule an MRI or anything else, for that matter. I’ll worry about it after Thanksgiving, I reckon. Kids are coming in tonight and will help us pack the RV tomorrow. We are leaving Sunday to go camping and won’t be home until Wednesday afternoon. If I remember correctly, this state park has very poor, or no cell service. There will be no Internet. That’s a gimme. So, I will not be posting until I get home. I have made a massive list of things to load so everyone can help me tomorrow. The trips from the house into the RV are difficult. The stairs on the RV are difficult, too. So, if I can just stay inside and unpack everything, it will be a breeze.

It has frozen the past couple of nights, but it does not look like it’s going to freeze while we are camping. It’s going to be very chilly, though. Here comes the s’mores! We are expecting a bit of rain, too. I have games for inside for those times. 

I’m having a bit of trouble with dizziness. I’m a tad bit unstable. I slammed into the hallway wall this morning. Not sure what’s up with that. There will be 10 people for dinner on Thursday at my house. I won’t get home until mid day on Wednesday. Courtney has delegated dishes for people to fix, so that will be awesome. I did curbside shopping this morning, and brought home 8 huge bags of groceries. Some were for camping, some were for Thanksgiving dinner. I can’t wait until everyone gets here! 

December is almost here! That means Santa Claus is working overtime, getting ready for Christmas. Santa Claus made breaking and entering socially acceptable. Bet y’all never thought of that before.

OK. Every year for the past 20 years or so, I’ve asked the same riddle.

What do you call Santas helpers?

The answer is not elves.

They are subordinate clauses.

  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...
