Good News about the Bone Scan

I had chemo number 11 last Tuesday. This week is my week off. That means my blood counts are low, which is why I am so tired. I had a bone scan on Friday. I got the report today and it talks about the spot on my spine that received radiation back in February/March. It also mentions my left sinus that has an infection. We will see the oncologist on Thursday this week, so we can ask him if more radiation is needed for the spine or if it is still healing from the last round of radiation. I see the ENT on Monday, May 18th about the sinus. The best news is that it says no other focus of osseous (bone) metastatic disease identified. Yea!

The deck is coming along. Friday night, Bill, Tim, Chris and Kelly were out pouring concrete in the dark for the post holes. On Saturday, we had the expert, Steve come over and show everybody how it is done. They got the ledger board on the house and some of the joists. My contribution was putting the saw table together. Bill got a combination miter saw on a slide for the project. He says it cuts like butter. Bill got the hard part out of the way, so we can get alot done on Sunday. Well we woke up on Sunday to rain, so Bill, Tim and Chris got a break.

I went over to the Enviromental Learning Center (ELC) to walk on the trail last week. It is only a mile from our house and the Poudre River runs around it. It reminds me of walking in the woods in Michigan, (except for the Pear Cactus). Chris came with me. The next day I asked Kelly if she would come with me. Chris piped up, "Yeah Kelly you won't break a sweat, in fact you could wear your high heels and still keep up with Mom." My response, "Chris, unload the dishwasher." Chris's response, "You were going to make me unload the dishwasher anyway." He was right.

Have a peace filled week.
