Happy Day

Sorry, I have been partying all morning, and realized I hadn't written.  I will update you on the day later this afternoon when Kathleen and I get settled at Hope Lodge.  Love ya, m

Okay, all settled in, and have had my 14th of 15 radiation treatments, and also had my blood drawn.  Gave Kathleen the nickel tour of the Hope Lodge and she is now reading the rules and regs.

Yesterday was a great day, picked Kathleen up and then got ready for family to come for Jimbo's birthday party.  Everyone was gone by 8 as it was a school night and "Desperate Housewives" comes on at 8 and they wanted to be home to watch it.  Loved having everyone here.

This morning I hosted a pre-op party (my term) with Judy, Janet, Joe, Sandy and Kathleen, and Karen (from Switzland) crashed it with a call when all of us were seated at the kitchen table eating bagel and drinking coffee......I take that back everyone else was eating bagels, I am on that liquid diet today, as tomorrow I have a colonoscopy scheduled.  It was so much fun.  When they left my house Joe and Sandy were on their way to Watkins to see Joe's aunt Ceil.....so they stopped and saw the cabin on their way by.

After everyone left Kathleen and I packed up and headed to Rochester.  The leaves were almost peak....but not quite....but the sun was shining brightly and it was very enjoyable.  Made it here in plenty of time for my treatment and blood draw, and am now getting reading for the turkey trot or whatever to the bathroom as I start drinking my crap at 6:00 p.m. every 10 minute for 2 hours.  So I'll be staying close to the toilet.  Nothing else new.  I'll write again in the morning, as I have to be up at 6 a.m. and staring drinking again.  Colonoscopy at 9:30 a.m.  YUK.  Love and prayers, m
