HOT AS HADES

It is hot, hot, HOT. When you walk outside it feels like you are walking into an oven set at 400 degrees. It is so hot that you just want to stay inside with the nice cool a/c blowing on you.

Did a little shopping this weekend at the Big K and of course Publix. Not a lot of good sales but just needed to get out of the house for a short while. Stopped at Steak & Shake and had a burger and fries for lunch. We also had Gabriel subs for dinner because I hate to cook on week ends. However I did make Sloppy Joes for Sunday lunch.

So far I have had (14) radiation treatments and I have (19) more to go. I see Dr. Shah tomorrow and she will tell me about the chemo pill I will be taking for the next (5) years. There is so much they know about cancer and there is still so much to learn, things change everyday so you just have to trust your doctors and hope for the best.

My Mother-In-Law has been in the hospital since Tuesday night. She is doing better but she has a condition called "CHF" Congestive Heart Failure and there is no cure for it. She just needs to take her meds especially the diuretics to help her get rid of fluid retention.

Hope everyone had a wondeful week end. Keep me in your prayers.
Love to all.

Life Goes On

So far I have received 6 out of 33 radiation treatments. They are done every day of the week except Saturday and Sunday. The treatments take about 15-20 minutes, the hard part is the positioning which has to be exact for every treatment. The ladies that work in the department are all very nice.

Not much going on here just a lot of rain. It has been real hot and the humidity is awful as usual.

Take care one and all.
