Oooppps! Guess I wasn't paying attention when I posted #15 on the other thread. Hopefully I can get it over here!
Good Morning, Flowers!
It is 68 degrees here and cloudy with a nice breeze! The humidity feels like nil and I love it, love it , love it!
The latest news on my dad is that he has small cell cancer which means they have no idea where the cancer cells are coming from. All of his tests have come back with "nothing" until the biopsy. He met with the oncologist yesterday, to set up a radiation schedule starting tomorrow, which he will be able to do in another town closer to home. That is good! Today they had to go back for some kind of $3000 test, which is new and Medicare won't pay for --
! But this will pinpoint the area where the cells are originating. My "sister", bless her heart
took them yesterday and then stayed to go back with them today. He had to be there at 6 AM so would have to leave home by 4 . . . long day for them.
I went to WI last night and showed another 1.2# gone. I was surprised because I haven't been very OP this past week, except for the walking. When my mom got sick I dropped 20# almost overnight. I could lose another couple of 20s but sure don't want to do it that way.
Maggie -- Opium sounds like it should be illegal!
I will have to take a sniff the next time I am in Younkers. Would you share your lemonade pie recipe? As soon as my life settles down, we need to have some friends over -- we try to get together every six months or so but seem to get so busy. We finally just pick a date and put it on the calendar.
Gloria -- Tell you DH
from your favorite online friends! Every time I have had a sensitive tooth, I've ended up with a root canal and a crown. I hope your dentist can fix you up cheaper than that!
Have a great day, Flowers! My piles are disappearing by the day!
Jean --
from Iowa!
It worked! It worked!
Maggie -- I did not know that about cancer cells moving anywhere. When my FIL got sick, his tumor was on the sciatic nerve in the back - hip area; the spot of origin, that they questioned, was on a lung. By then he was too sick to do any surgery so they used radiation first and then chemo. He didn't have very good luck because they gave him chemo that was too strong. We think he hadn't felt food for a long time and just never said anything until he couldn't stand the pain any longer.
I've run my errands and need to get back to ironing. See you later!
