Been having my ups and downs last couple of days. Have enough stuff so far loaded on my new computer, to be able to put in 6 hours last few days of January, 4 hours on Monday the 2nd, and probably at least 4 on Tues.
Days don't seem to be going 'too' bad, but nights are hard. With side/back pain it really drags you down. Hard to keep the attitude up, but I'm trying. Just trying to figure out how to 'get my ducks in a row' for library work so everything transfers smoothly into the appropriate hands. Yes, I know I must think 'temporarily', but even that is getting hard.
Pet Scan is set for 8am Thurs (be there by 7:30), then over to treatment center for lab work at 2 then down to doc for 2:30 for exam and some of the results. It's going to be a very long day of just sitting and waiting.
He's going to be gone again for 2 weeks, but should have all the necessary results by Friday to write up 'orders' for while he is gone. Doubt there will be any major chemo treatment until he gets back. Dr. Morish will be taking over for those couple of weeks so I'm figuring I'll be going in once a week for blood work and go from there. Hopefully I'll last that long (yeah ... kinda a downer day today).
Other than the pain (so far pills are doing okay), I really don't feel to bad. This is the first time in quite a while that I've been able to do library stuff from home. Kinda keeps the fog at bay.
Thanks for all those wonderful thoughts and prayers you all are sending. It really does help with the moral. Oh well .. gotta do whatcha gotta do I guess.
Love to all

Hi Sue,
I'm glad you are getting your new computer going and have been able to do some work from home. Let us know how your PET scan goes on Thursday.
We are definitely sending all our thoughts and prayers your way. We miss you lots.
Please let us know if we can do anything.
Love,

Hi Sue,
Thanks for the update. It helps to know how things are going for you. It's bad enough not having you here (I hate that), but total silence would be absolutely horendous to the psyche.
Keep up the good thoughts, they can't hurt.
In the meantime, I have a funny cat story for you....
Couldn't figure out for the life of me how my male cat Tigger kept getting all these little scratch marks on the top of his head. Figured he must be fighting a lot and just not very good at it. But come to find out, he sits under the ottoman while the female, Casper, sits on top of it and bats the top of his head. He just squints his eyes shut and bears the pain until she's done. How dumb is that? Animals are so bloody weird sometimes, ya know?
Only thing I can figure is because he is twice her size, maybe he thinks it makes her feel good to think she's beating him up? Who knows. Just a weirdy kitty, I guess. -Clydene
Hi Sue,

Love and Hugs!

Welp, Larry came up front today to tell us you were on Hospice care. I'd be lying if I said I liked that idea, but then I know you don't care for the idea that its come to this either. We all love you so very much, Sue. I hope you can feel how much. -Clydene
Sue,
I love you and think of you often. You are in my daily prayers.

Sue,
Hospice people are saints. They are caring people with expertise in pain control. Don't get me wrong, I still believe in miracles and you have earned one. Your journey inspires us all to be better people. Ava has quite the generous Grandma and we have a great friend and co-worker.
Prayers and Strength are being sent to you!
Diane
