It’s so funny, but the radiation oncologist called Thomas yesterday just to tell him that the scarring and damage is “not” radiation damage. In his opinion, it isn’t “linear” enough. It has to be “something else”. I don’t know why he has such a personal investment in this not being from the radiation. This is... »

My appointment this morning went really well….I’m so grateful that my oncologist is so calm and upfront. His feeling is that what is being seen on the CT is some pretty decent scarring and damage to my lung…he is not concerned about malignancy. I’ll need to follow-up with my internist to start doing lipid... »

My buzzword for tonight is anxiety….. I’ve had my headache now with right-sided shoulder, chest and neck pain for 10 days. We noticed that my shoulder was swollen this weekend. I finally called my internist yesterday when I woke up with edema above my clavical and shoulder. Basically, my internist’s office decided that I needed... »

My headache has continued to plague me this week. It’s now localized itself to the right side of my head/neck and shoulder and my right shoulder is swollen. When dh realized how swollen I was he panicked last night. He started going through all of the lymph nodes that he could feel (none of... »

Time to catch up….First off, pictures of my *new* van. Well, it’s not really new, but…it has an entire new floor. I don’t know why auto makers insist on making mini-vans with carpeting on the floor. Who drives mini-vans? That’s right…mostly moms who are busy carting around kids. Kids are messy. In MN that... »

Our Schwan’s man officially moved on this week. He’s been *with our family* for three years, even following us last year to the new house when we moved here. It’s funny that I should even bring this up in my blog, I know….but last week he told Thomas that he had gotten a promotion... »

Around here there has been much agonizing about Andrew continuing with band. He played the sax last year and considering he never practiced did pretty well. This year, he decided he didn’t want to play anymore. The reason? The instrument was too heavy to carry and the 8th graders made fun of the younger... »

Crack me up…..I decided to really take advantage of the weight loss zone that I was in and again made some attempts to lose weight….I mentioned before that I have been walking for a couple of hours/day for about 5 days and have really been watching my food consumption. The result? A 3 pound... »

span class=”postbody”> I’ll try to stay away from the rum/coke when I blog and hopefully I’ll not end up deleting my blogs accidentally again. I’ve gotten most of my old blog back now… But on to ….the present: We had a really wonderful last month of the summer! The kids and I started going on little... »
