After today we are looking at 10 radiation treatments and 2 cocktails to complete this year's plan on the 18th of December. If the last two weeks go as well as the first five, I will consider myself very, very fortunate. I was expecting and prepared for much worse.
Last Tuesday in the cocktail lounge the nurses were treating a 94 year old woman in the cubicle next to mine. I had to ask and they told me they never give up on a patient. 94 and still fighting. God love her.
Tomorrow we're headed to Port Austin to see Ric and Deb for the day and to take measurments for a Spring kitchen remodel, which of course will pretty much be a gut job. If you can't hit something with a sledgehammer what's the point ?
Glad I added my e mail address to the last BLOG - hearing from many old friends from Ford - brings back alot of good memories of the worse job I ever loved.
Have a good weekend
Ken

Hi Uncle Ken! Glad to see that everything is going well and according to the plan. It was a great idea to make a blog and keep everyone updated. Looking forward to seeing you and the family at Christmas!

Well I almost guarantee your kitchen project will be done before our salon is done in the basement (just kidding Katie, I'll get around to it-after golf season). Have fun up north. I have to say afternoon shift in dearborn is quiet tonight. Must be out of bullets.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon-Matt
Have a great time in PA tomorrow! I am so glad that you are tolerating the treatments - hang in there, not much longer now! It will be Christmas before you know it and this will all just be a memory. You stay strong and we'll keep praying!

Well,Jo just got a call from Deb. Ric came down with something. Can't risk any "bug" with my low white cell count so we're staying put. Was really looking forward to seeing them. Oh well.

Ken, I finally got instructions from my daughter on how to get into your blog.
ReplyDeletePaul Stanko has been sending info. to me about
your condition. I just didn't know how to get
hold of you. My prayers are with you, I will also send access details to some of your friends that are on my e-mail distribution. God bless you, Mike Pettegrew
Boy, we sure were disappointed that you two couldn't come up this weekend. We thought that finally someone would see our Christmas decorations! However, we'd rather be safe than sorry, and we certainly didn't want to be the ones who gave you a "bug." Hope you're feeling well, and keeping your strength up. Hope to see you soon~
