 Mom had her surgery today at 9:00am. Me and my Aunt Nancy took her to Upper Chesapeake Hospital in Bel Air. She did really well with the anesthesia and the doctor said that when he did the procedure on her foot, the bones went into place just like he was hoping. He was correcting problems from her previous two surgeries. She has two pins in her toes; one in the big toe and one in the next toe over. She's having a little pain but it's tolerable she said. Keep your fingers crossed and pray that this time it was done right and she won't have to go through it again.


I started my next round of chemo yesterday. That went well and I even got to watch "THE PRICE IS RIGHT". My doctor seems to have decided that I'm going to get that shot once every two weeks instead of only if I need it. So needless to say I got that shot in my stomach. The ONLY thing I felt this time was the cold alcohol rub before the shot. Tracey, my nurse, is great at giving that needle!!


I talked to the doctor about how much I've been doing lately especially all the yard work. I told him that I've been feeling a lot better and less fatigued from it. He isn't putting me on any restrictions, he said I can do whatever I want as long as I feel up to it and I rest when I need it. Oh yea, he did put me on one restriction.... he said it's okay to go to the race tracks but it's not okay for me to race. LOL!! He said it's all I'd need is to wreck and make my white blood count go haywire. I laughed, I thought that was funny. I enjoy watching but I never race.


I also found out it's okay for me to be in the sun. Usually if you're on chemo you have to stay out of the sun. The specific drug that I'm on doesn't cause photosynthesis with the sun and cause me to burn any quicker or worse. The only concern they have, which they would have with anyone, is they don't want anyone to get skin cancer.

So I'm free to do what I want with the doctors blessing!!

Did the doc give you permission to do the Mexican hat dance? If he did, I'd like to take some pictures.....

You never race at the strip. But on the highway, now that's a different story. Tell your mom I said hello, and I really hope that this is the last she has to endure. Glad to hear you're still on course with your health.

Are you implying that I race on the highway?! I do the speed limit at all times sir.


Mom says hello back! Are you going to be in the MTSO on Friday the 22nd?

Then you must have a problem reading speed limit signs. As far as I know right now I'll be here Friday. It looks like by myself.
