Ho-Hum it's July...

J'ever notice how that happens right after June runs out of days?
Every year, without fail. Wonders never cease I tell ya.

So. Howya been? That good, eh? I'm happy for you. Really.

We've been busy around here lately.
I got my eyeballs done. One last Thursday and the other 
this Monday. I am amazed at how quick and easy it turned
out to be. Even just the day after I was already seeing a
big difference in my vision. And how much more colorful
and brighter everything is. I still need readers for close-up
but I can deal with that easily. Glad it's done.
The only bad part is having to pay almost 5 grand out of pocket.

Ann has around 7 more radiation treatments to finish.
So far the only side effects are being tired after each one and
everything she eats tastes like metal or nothing at all. 

Carol had a CT scan and it showed the spot on her lung is
slightly larger than it was when they hit it with radiation.
Now they'll do an MRI and a PET scan to determine if the
cancer is truly growing or what they saw is inflammation from
the radiation. If it's growing, of course, she'll be looking at
more treatments. After all these years, it's wearing on her.
She won't give up but...it's difficult.

Ah Hell, that's enough about us.
Let me leave you with something pretty to look at and maybe
a hug and a peck on the cheek. Take care of yourselves...

Let's get back to normal...

Christmas was nice. Carol's stuffed cabbage was delicious.
'nuf said. Call me Grinch.

Next on the agenda is Carol getting radiation treatments
starting December 30. (which is also Ann's birthday.)
Scheduled for five. The plan is that radiation will kill
all the colon cancer cells that migrated to her lung and
eliminate the need for chemo. Fingers crossed but, for
some reason, I have a gut feeling it's going to work
as planned.

side note: Ann went zonkers with gift cards this year
so it's looking very likely that there is mucho shopping
in our future. Not a bad thing.

Hope everyone who visits here had a happy holiday.
