Today is Monday.  We had a wonderful time camping and got back in time to host 10 for Thanksgiving dinner the next day.  Our house was full and it was delightful.  I love having the kids home and all the games we play together.  Everyone was gone by Sunday and the house seemed awfully quiet.  They helped us move beds and get all the Christmas decorations out of the attic before they left.  I even had help putting some stuff up.  It was wonderful!  We got the outside lights up yesterday and tweaked them today.  My house is truly festive now.  David and I bought a new bed and it should be delivered on Wednesday.  We moved beds around so that our 4th bedroom got converted from junk room to junk room/guest room.  We now have 3 guest bedrooms, so people - come visit.

My nephew and his family were flying in from Alaska and were scheduled to arrive today and stay for a week.  I was really looking forward to their visit, but they all caught the flu.  That ended that visit.  I hope they can reschedule sometime soon.

We will be leaving this coming weekend for Houston.  I have several appointments at MD Anderson on Monday, so we will be staying with Courtney and hopefully catch our 6 year old grandson's Christmas program a few days afterwards.

My back is really acting like a buggar and it's made decorating and moving furniture a royal pain.  LIterally.  My hips are asking for a couple more injections and I'm trying to make that appointment, too.  I'm feeling much better without the cancer meds in my system and haven't had to wear my pressure suit for over a week.  However, it's starting to look like I may have to break down and put it on this evening.  I'm pretty swollen.  Poop.

I made myself some eggs for breakfast this morning.  An omelette, actually.  I seasoned the eggs with sugar, oil and some chocolate and then added a little flour for texture.

Ok.  It was a cake.  I had cake.  

Today was laundry day.  Lots of towels and stuff after company leaves.

Washing - 30 minutes.

Drying - 60 minutes.

Putting away - 7 to 10 business days.

  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...
