THE PLAN

After reading my niece's blog ,I have decided my blog really lacks in the humor department! blog. Okay, back to the serious side - it's wonderful to be here and enjoy the amazing beauty (I know, I've said that before), so I'll go onto other things. Dr. Hunt called today after speaking to Dr. Pagel and the next step is a PET scan in a couple of months, then a consult in Seattle with Dr. Pagel. We don't plan anything further than that. Dave is doing good - going strong (or should I say stronger). Sometimes he just doesn't know when to quit though. He was out shoveling an elderly woman's sidewalk when he left his "butt cheeks" imprint in the snowbank! He was fine, just a little embarrassed, but was able to gracefully get himself back to his feet with the help of his friend, the shovel! He laughed at himself all the way home, and then I laughed until I cried.

Nature's Beauty

Pictures taken Monday morning on my way to work. We have had more snow since these pictures were taken.

BEAUTIFUL

We have had lots of snow and the beauty of it is refreshing. I don't think I could ever live where there aren't four seasons. I really think fall and winter are my favorite. Dave doesn't seem to mind the plowing, but he does wear out, esp. the last 3 days. The radiation will be working in his body for 2 months, so it doesn't surprise me that he isn't feeling "full power". He is continuing to work full days, and is eating good. I'm trying to feed him high calorie/protein foods, which he seems to enjoy. The problem is, I enjoy it just as much! He is also doing a little work in his shop building a shooting bench (excuse me if I'm not calling it the correct name) for his brother, Brian. Hopefully, we will be able to spend some time in our 5th wheel this coming summer at Brian's property and around the valley. We are still waiting for a call from Dr. Hunt about Dr. Pagel's (Seattle Doc) suggestion for further treatment. The waiting is annoying, but we are getting used to it. As long as the radiation is working, we aren't too anxious.
