First time at Mayo Clinic

Monday, 31 October 2005 7:42 P GMT-06
My first appointment this morning was at 10:10 at the clinic and we got up at 4:30 to get ready and get on the road. Rand McNally said it would take us four and a half hours to get here but it only took two and a half. So we checked in early and th

Dennis has been out of town for the last few days and should be back tomorrow. I've been trying to get a few things done without him. Yesterday I really didn't accomplish much but today I took but some things we needed to return and bought the wood

We had a heavy frost again this morning but the kids don't have school today and the pups let us sleep in a little.  Haden helped me take them out and watch them so I was able to get some more photos.  Although about half of them turned out like th

Seeing the surgeon

Wednesday, 26 October 2005 3:28 P GMT-06
I met with the surgeon today and he explained the location of the tumor and he said he can't yet tell me what stage I'm at until the mass is removed and looked at.  He said the CT scan showed a suspicious lymph node right below the mass.  If he doe

What do we have left to do?

Pantry shelves are in.  I love this door, it turns the light on when you open it and off when you close it.  Nice hands free, no switches to hit.  :)Would love to get a new fridge but it's not on the current agenda.  So this area is done too.  (

Monday, 24 October 2005 7:33 P GMT-06
I had a call from the Gastroenterologist this morning saying he was back in town.  The biopsy confirms what he had said and the CT scan shows only the one mass.  I also had a call from the mayo clinic and they can get me in Monday so now I just hav

More Cancer info and some clarification

Sunday, 23 October 2005 8:42 P GMT-06
I think I have to keep saying Cancer trying to get it to sink in.  First off, in my last post I was trying to encourage people to get tested if they had any issues and/or their doctor wanted to do the test.  My experience with the colonoscopy is NO

Friday, 21 October 2005 7:44 P GMT-06
After eight years of having issues with my stomach I had a test on Tuesday and the Doctor says it's cancer.  Three years ago I had every test imaginable except the colonoscopy.  Six years ago I had every test imaginable except the colonoscopy.  Si

The pups love our big yard.  I snapped some photos of them running around this morning.  Delilah is the little red girl and Samson is cream boy.  They're brother and sister and a little over 4 months old.  I caught Samson midflight, isn't he cute

Our kitchen is almost complete. The hardwood floors are done and look great. The trim is up and the butcher block on the island has been oiled. Still need to find some punched metal or something to use as the inset in the corner cabinet door but i

Thursday, 13 October 2005 11:07 A GMT-06
Still have to run to the library to get internet for the moment.  I just don't seem to get here but once a week.  Staying too busy on the house.  Dennis tiled the kitchen counters and the backsplash.  We finished the hardwood everywhere.  Yea to

Friday, 7 October 2005 9:05 A GMT-06
Sorry for the length of time since writing but it's been VERY hectic.  Last Monday we got our furnace functional and Tuesday the inspector came.  He's granted us a 30day occupancy (which is all we asked for) so that we can be living in the house wh
