You Gotta Make Do

It rained a lot last week and Barton Springs has been closed so we have been going to Deep Eddy to swim. That's Karl and Mom on their way to the pool. It was sunny but cold but once you get in the water it's not so bad. We're glad Barton Springs is opening on Thanksgiving day!

Meanwhile I am on my third day of 14 days of Xeloda pills and then I'll get lab work done and hope my CEA numbers go down. Whatever happens I'm a thankful person because I'm feeling well. Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!!

Good News

I talked the doc into another round of Xeloda. I think I can bring the numbers down. Wish me luck!

Bad News

My numbers went way up, so I have an appointment today with the doc. I assume he will recommend new chemo, but I'm hoping for one more cycle of Xeloda. I think I can bring the numbers down, just give me one more chance!

Little Tom Tucker
Sings for his supper
What shall he eat?
White bread and butter.
How will he eat it without e'er a knife?
How will he marry without e'er a wife?

That's a poem that's in my doctor's office. I like it.

Back Home

We just got back from Wisconsin, where we went to a Badgers game and a Packers game thanks to our Murphy cousins. The Badgers game was great. I don't really want to talk about the Packers game, except that it was a fun to go back to the stadium and we had a great time despite the outcome. I'm grateful that I can travel freely since I'm still on the chemo pills. My CEA numbers went up last check, but not very much and the doctor said he was pleased with the numbers. I'll get checked in another two weeks and hope the numbers stay low enough to keep on the pills!
