This morning I had my mid-term exam - the CT Scan to see how the treatment is fighting the cancer. Of course I failed to get or drink the solution last night so the 15 minute procedure turned into a 3 hour process of going to the hospital, finding out I was supposed to drink the stuff (Barium shake), leaving with said stuff, drinking it (the vanilla isn't that bad), and coming back a few hours later for the scan. I sneezed again during the scan so I had to stay for "observation" - in this case observation means sit in the waiting room with an old issue of Time Magazine until the technician tells you it's okay to leave...I was fine.
So, next Tuesday (6/26) I will meet with the oncologist for our usual night-before-chemo meeting, where we will also learn the results of the CT Scan - which I am confident will be good.
My dad is on his way home now and feeling very well...I spoke with him this morning and he's excited to get back home and then head down to Newport for the wedding - which we're all really looking forward to, it's been a bright spot for our family for many months now and we're all very excited to get down there and have a big celebration. Kevin and his girlfriend, Katie, are home already and we're all getting together tomorrow night for me to bid adieu to 28...I head into the last year of my twenties tomorrow and am looking forward to mom's lasagna and a great night at my folks house with the family.
All else is well and I'm excited for a few days off in Newport - talk soon, Gary
PS - That is our cat in the upper corner, "Precious Girl," so named by her loving mother Kristina...this is the same cat that DID NOT give me "cat scratch fever."
