News from KS

Well I have become a BZZ agent online.  I test out new products and the company sends coupons for me and my friends on the stuff that they send out to me.  The next item to be tested is Green Mountain Coffee.  I will let you know how it is. 

Now for news about Michael: 

Last week they took a blood sample to see how the PSA level was doing.  It has jumped from 200 to 246 within 2.5 weeks.  Still have to go till the end of the month before we find out any other information from the doc.

He is scheduled for a radiation consult next Friday on the 12th.  They will do a radiation treatment and set up consecutive treatments for the cancer in his lung and lymph node.

As far as the chemo, they will wait till the end of the month for that.

The problem this week is that his feet are swelling.  They don't know why but he has some edema in the lower legs and feet.  The doc put him on Lasix and potassium until the swelling goes down. 

We have moved things around in the house and it is still not large enough for him to wheel the wheelchair around in here.  We might have to move.  Luckily, his daughter in law works at a place that rents to seniors.  We will be looking at one either today or in the morning if I can get ahold of her.

He got his scooter on Wednesday of this past week.  Went to go and get the lift installed on the truck and it wouldn't go all the way to the ground.  Will have to wait until they call the VA and ok the other model.  VA said that he can leave his scooter there until the lift gets installed. 

The ramps for the door came in and the guy wouldn't attach them to the walk.  He said that if he did, that they would bend.  Well Michael rolled over one of them in his wheelchair and bent the damn thing.    So much for trying to get the scooter in the house. 

Hope all are well back home.  Miss being in TX.
KS is starting to get cold and all the people around here are getting colds which are not good for Michael.  Have to close for now and head up to the VA to get his prescription for the pain meds.

TA TA FOR NOW!!! Hugs to all.
