SUNSHINE
How nice to see the sunshine and feel the heat, esp. for Dave. This radiation really took the "pow" out of him. He has lost another 10 lbs. and is back using the cane for awhile. All of this is a result of the powerful radiation his body just took in. Soon, he should start developing an appetite and strength. This morning he will go outside and tell me how to mow the lawn! I remember my dad telling me how to vacumm - I guess there's something about how "it doesn't make sense" the way I tackle those projects. I guess you are suppose to go in one direction, not "all over the place". Well, anyway, wish me luck!

He's DONE
Yesterday was Dave's last radiation!!!! Hopefully now he will gain some weight back and some stamina. I must say I'm impressed - I don't know if I could have gone through what he has - he's amazing. We now wait for 2 months for another PET scan, so we will try our hardest to get back to normal and put "cancer" on the back burner. Thank you so much "Integrated Pest Management" for coming over and trimming our hedge - you did an awesome job. It is something that Dave has been "pondering" over on how he was going to manage. Thank you also to Whitefish Veterinary Hospital for taking such good care of Ripley and Penelope over the last month or so; when they are well, we feel better also! SPOILED DOGS! Thank you to everyone who has made this chapter in our lives easier - without you the road would have been a lot rougher and the ruts much deeper. Your prayers have been a blessing! I'll be keeping you informed on his progress over the next too months. I might also throw in some craziness -- who knows???
