Aye, those computers are wonders when they work but when they don't.......

I was at 200.4 or something like that yesterday but today - ta da - was back down to 199.8. Ole Demon Scale knows how to toy w/me. Will try to be very good over holiday but lots of food here.

Saw doc for back - gave me script for prednisone - I've had it filled but haven't taken it yet. Other than back (& kids) I've been feeling better than in ages - back is improving but still debating meds. There's that old weight gain thing w/prednisone.

DS did point out to DD that Mom (who is not involved) should not be subjected..... etc. I've done my best to ignore and they did exchange a little courtesy in that she wished him good luck on some job issues and he had suggested they talk about it just not at that time and/or via email. DD has emailed a bit more to me but I've been trying to be diplomatic. Problem this time is that DD included DDIL who is also not a shy chick (though very nice).

I'm sure things will go well enough on the holiday but it (and work issues) may have DS/DDIL leaving early (as vs staying the whole weekend). Sigh.......

Well, back to prepping for tomorrow. Good healthy menu planned if I limit myself (as there are also a lot of goodies planned). Seeing that 199.8 today just might keep me from going bananas. I hope.

Hello all,

Things have slowed down some, and DH has had a chance to recoup and get stronger..... We are holding our breath for confirmation as the radioogist thinks the radiation has killed the lung tumor. DH has 2 more scheduled radiation treatments until further notice.

In about 2 weeks, a PET Scan will tell us more. The lymph nodes are still in question of course and then, there is always that question, "Did the cancer go anywhere else?"......

But we are enjoying the respite, DH has been able to enjoy many more foods again and even took DMom and I for a ride yesterday after breakfast out.

We did Thanksgiving but at a slow pace, and I am starting to decorate a little for Christmas.... first, more cleaning and rearranging to make room.
Again, on a small scale but to keep our hand in.....

DH's sister and her husband were here a week ago for 2 days and she plans on coming back in 2 weekends.... It was fun to see them and lifted DH's spirits enormously.

Its amazing how something like this reshuffles your priority deck and how you are so able to give away so many things you held so precious in boxes in closets and basements and attics.

Here's today's thought:

Question of the day:

"Did you do any shopping this weekend or today?"
