UPDATE
to blog
I
see an error in my last blog, the date for my surgery is next
Wednesday, 5 Mar. I understand that my stay will probably include at
least 1 day in ICU. However the problem with Loretta not driving
seems to be moot. I have been told that she can stay in the room
with me, even ICU.
Her
follow up mammogram revealed no problem also. BUT, I did receive
word that there was something in my lungs that was revealed on the CT
Scan. A week ago yesterday, we drove to Vanderbilt where we parked
in a distant lot and took Shuttle to the Cancer Center. There we
looked at the CT Scan and really saw little of interest. Loretta's
son-in-law Bill had done scans at Maury Regional hospital. He
suggested they get them to compare. They did that and Monday got
word that there was nothing new so no concern at this time. Then I
received word that the Urologist wants me to see a Kidney Doctor. So
tomorrow (Thursday 27) we go back for that appointment.
Daughter-in-law Kathy will drive us, more as company for Loretta than
parking problem.
The
truck has been starting and running well since last repairs.
Incidently the propane price has caught us here with last 3 purchases
at about $4.00/gal. However the weather has moderated with some days
in 60 and 70's so usage is down. This week we are having another
cold snap, but no single digit temperatures. Also saves on electric
usage.
Otherwise
things are about the same. Church, shopping, dining out and some
visiting. I had been neglected my daily walks but have resumed those
with milder weather. I usually pick up trash along the roadway in
addition to enjoying the weather, walk and scenery. Some leavs and
flowers had started to come out but this cold snap will set that
back.
I
certainly want to give thanks for all the prayers and thoughts that
have been sent our way for our health. They are appreciated.
GOD
Bless
Andy
and Loretta
