General Maintenance

Brain cancer is...

...occupying expensive real estate on the top floor, but other floors need maintenance too.

We started our day with a visit to our General Practitioner, Dr. Asif, for Darrell's routine blood work and a check up.  Good for you, Darrell, for maintaining the rest of the building, even when the top floor demands so much attention!

The picture, above, shows cholesterol results as high.  The values are actually borderline, but Darrell will resume the low dose of cholesterol medication that he discontinued to go on the steroids so long ago.

Oh, and remember how Darrell wanted to be cleared of any potential colon cancer risk, but he can't have a colonoscopy for a while, until a few months after treatment?   Our doctor prescribed the fecal occult blood test for him until he can have the colonoscopy.  Great idea, Dr. Asif.

Darrell hopes, by sharing his results with the team, he'll encourage us all to keep up with our general maintenance.   Thanks, Big D., for the encouragement!

Travel Update

Hallie and Ruth provided a fun send-off lunch/coffee/shopping expedition.

My cute new tops are in our suitcases, which are all packed and by the door.

We are scheduled to take off at 6:45 a.m. and, after a layover, land in Allentown, PA at about 6:30 p.m.  You probably are aware of the snowstorms in the East.  My mom hypothesizes that Darrell and I bring about wild weather with our travel plans.  She may be right.  Here's to what promises to be an adventurous day of travel!

Happy Pi Day!
