Today is Wednesday. The last couple of days have been a bit rough. When folks come over, I buck up and act normal for a little while. As soon as they leave, I am wiped out. I’m still glad we have company, though. It gives me something to look forward to and I enjoy it very much. I have a cough, I am extraordinarily tired, and my head is foggy. I’ve taken two home Covid tests, a week and a half apart, and they were both negative. So, I just have some crud. I slept 14 hours a couple of days ago. I go to sleep every day, sometimes standing up. I thought that would be impossible, but it’s not. My head is too foggy to do my Crosstitch, and I can’t keep my eyes open long enough, anyway. I’ve managed to do laundry today and do some baking, but I am so very tired.

OK, I just fell asleep writing this post. Geez. I’m awake now and will finish. I hope. I just hope I don’t hit the send button before I’m finished. I got my test results from my biopsy. They hit my chart last night. I am scheduled to speak with the surgeon at 10 AM on Friday morning, so I’m sure she will explain it then. I didn’t understand squat in the report. There are more big, unusual words than I’ve ever seen in that thing. I did not see malignancy anywhere, though. So, I figure I’m good.

I get my stitches out tomorrow and they scheduled my MRI for January 3. I need a new calendar. I don’t have one for next year yet. I should tell Santa.

Today was laundry day and David got a good score. Only two T-shirts were turned inside out. I think that’s a record. A few months ago, I bought him all new underwear. All dark colors. That was the smartest move I ever made. It ought to be illegal to sell men’s underwear in white. Stores ought to be punished and have to pay a fine or something.

My hair is coming in thicker now. The curls are on the bottom, but the top of it is straight. No more curls are coming in at all. It’s all solid white and silver. I really don’t have white, silvery hair. I’m just growing tinsel.

  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...
