Friday

Hey All,
Today started out with a phone call at 8 a.m. we are RETIRED!!! it was the Dr's. office reminding us of our appointment at 1:30 for a scan. Sooooooo needles to say Mag wasn't to thrilled ( I think it set her mood for the day she still isn't to sure of her about the up and coming treatments) Anyway we lolygaged all morning until I reminded her what time it was she finely got in gear and got ready to go so we went...........


I'm still learning how to do this blog thing so excuse the silly writing, got the scan Mag has ink lines on her stomache that are covered with tape so when we go to the Drs. they can have land marks they are covered with tape she has to be careful not to take a shower with the water directly on her tummy.

She has lost about 25 lbs. which is ok the good part is the Drs. said she can eat anything she wants all she wants, the not so good part is she has NO APATITE!!!!!! whaaaaaaaaat the hey!!!!!! So we went out to a deli because she was hungry it was our first time and we were plesently suprized all was good, anyway all she could eat was a half a samwich and part of a great carrot cake , but she ate all the pickles!!!, they do have great pickles, the name of the place is D.J.Pickles.
I want to thank all of you who have posted comments you make our dayThanks to all

Starting over

Today we went to the radiation doc and he is very nice besides he speaks Spanish, tomorrow we will have a scan done to determine the movement of Mags intestines, turns out the newest thing in a rad. machine that is in sinc with ones breathing being ,more effective at hitting the spot where it's needed the most and not going where it's not ( who knew) The rad. treatment will go on for 6 weeks 5 days a week straight unless there is a problem.
The oncologist is going to use a pump about the size of a small cassette player ( the Spanish word for pump is bomba and firemen are bomberos that's for Harold ) it will be on a long tube so she won't be restricted to much. The nurse will hook it up to her port Monday and take it off Friday for the weekend, all this will take place along with the rad.

Rain again !

Today it's raining ,of coarse it's the rainy season in fla. still warm 90+ but not so bad inside (77 with the a/c). I usually sit out side on the patio with the fan on , which is kinda nice, and read the morning paper and coffee, while listening to Neal Bortz on the radio,( I'm a closet conservative) . I like to see the big trees and bright flowers, lots of butterfly's , some times the dogs will try and catch a squirrel , our squirrels are gray and not as pretty as the ones up north.
Maybe it's Freudian But I enjoy the rain, first you hear it, gentile and soft, sometimes when the sun is still shining. Sometimes it comes on strong so dense you can't see the neighbors house , other times great thunder and lightening Mag makes me come inside the one dog Lulu runs for the closet or wants to be held shaking , and whimpering, Dolly could care less, it hardly inturups her laying on the coach nap .
Mag is enjoying painting she likes colors as you can see, we cook together, she does a little house work, and is feeling better. Love to all Bob

Her we are

Mag came home last Thursday she was kinda week so she stayed in bed for two days, Monday we had a nurse come in ,along with a physical therapist , she has begun moving around, and we even went out to eat at a place called Three Bananas, along with a little drive. nice day ! Wednesday we had two Drs. appointments the first was with her new Oncologist, the second was a follow up with the family doc The new doc is a very nice young woman,she layed out a plan that includes chemo and radiation five days a week. Three days chemo two rad. lasting app. 5 to 7 weeks. Mag will have a pump for the chemo a little device that you can hang on you waist and even take off for a shower. That way she won't get such a large dose all at once.to begin in about two weeks.
Today she is up and around even started painting , runs out of gas but every day is better...............Bob
