It's Monday, but I don't have much to report.  I do have some good news:  I got my night guard from the dentist and I haven't had an earache in the past 5 days.  Cross your fingers....

I've been a tad under par this week.  Very tired.  I can sleep most of the day if the phone allows.  We had a storm blow through a few nights ago and the next day I spent 2-1/2 hours picking up fallen limbs out of the yard.  And, it was very hot.  I didn't want to take a break and cool off because I knew I'd never go back out.  

David has been in Houston and came home last night.  He missed the power outage we had a few days ago.  That wasn't much fun in this heat, either.

My infection seems to be clearing up a bit, but I just can't seem to totally get rid of it.  I'm too impatient, I reckon.  The pool was a disaster after that last storm, but I got it cleaned up pretty good.  It was 94 degrees, but dropped a couple since the storm.  I'll bet this afternoon it'll be up there again.  It's supposed to hit 100 today, and for the next 4 days.  With the humidity, the heat index is killing me.  I don't want to even go out to the mailbox.

I have everything ready for my trip to Dallas on Wednesday.  That's when I see the retina specialist.  I'm a bit nervous.  I truly dislike people poking around in my eyes.  My vision is no better.  I need them fixed so that i can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  Right now, my tunnel could use a new bulb.

One of my cousins died last week, but I just found out about it a couple of days ago.  His name was John.  I was terribly sad.  Ya'll are going to miss him, even tho you might never have met each other.  He used to send me jokes.  Good ones.  I spoke to him all day when I was picking up limbs.  No one was around, and I'm sure it appeared as tho I was talking to myself, if I were seen.  I didn't care.

We got over 1-1/2 inches of rain with that last storm, so the grass is like a jungle again.  I'm not allowed to mow yet because I have to stay away from dust, etc.  My eyes haven't healed yet.  So, David gets to mow today.  He just got home and I'm sticking him on the lawn mower.  Welcome home!

I can't read what I write on this laptop.  I have to hold it really close to my face when I'm done typing, find the mistakes, then set it down again and try to fix them without quite seeing what I'm doing.  It's great.

I'm trying to remember that my present situation is not my final destination.  The best is yet to come.  When my time comes, and I go Home, I'll be able to see just fine.

David asked me why I married him.  I told him it was because of his sense of humor.  He said he thought it was because he was good in bed.  I said "See! You're hilarious!"

  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...
