Tuesday morning I had gone for blood work for my next doctors visit! On my way out a little dog darted between my feet causing me to stumble and I fell. Some how (no idea why) I turned as I was falling and hit the back of my head on the concrete floor. It knocked me colder that my new wife's heart! I have no idea how long I was out but when I awoke, there were firemen and paramedics lifting me to a gurney. There were EEG wires attached to me...my shirt was sliced open and that damn little dog. Its owner was in the lab having some work performed???? but I was out plenty long to cause the ER doctor to send me thru a Head P.E.T. scan, chest X-rays, blood work to check blood gasses. only to find nothing wrong with me that wasn't there before. I still get a bit dizzy on standing too quickly, but am cleared to drive. Which is good, as I am due Thursday morning to start my 5th go round with some sort of chemo therapy I get 8 treatments with each new drug. then a 3 week break then we start a new course. Thus far, my lung cancer is no longer growing. Is hopes it may be starting to shrink. That's why the P.E.T. scan. They are not overly sure why but I am still here. I was due to die summer of 2017. Much to the disappointment of the lady in the house I am still here, still doing my own grocery shopping (as she is a lousy cook and has no idea what is good to eat), my own laundry, and 85% of my own cooking. Her idea of spaghetti is Prego sauce and boiled noodles. Her stews are even more bland. Her idea of hot sauce is a dab of ketchup. Her salad is chunks of lettuce and ranch dressing. all in all I would rather boil her dog for lunch. On the positive side I have lost 5 pounds in the last month. -Rex HUNT ('53wb) ~ from lovely Downtown Hanford< CA where the Xmas decorations have been up since the weekend before Halloween. and already are as drab as a wet Sunday in January ************************************************************* ********************** HEARD ABOUT ************************** ************************************************************* Bomber death #192 in 2019: Alan STRICKER ('58-RIP) ~ 4/22/40 - 8/7/19 ************************************************************* ************************************************************* That's it for today.
