11-22-2019

  Well, I had an appointment with Dr. Rathfoot Tuesday. He scoped me then read the Pet Scan report and explained what congested means. Basically, that is the part of the lung tissue that is scared and unusable, and apparently, I have quite a lot of it. The scar tissue in my throat from throat cancer treatments has left my airway about 1/3 -1/4 the diameter of a normal throat. That is where my shortness of breath comes from.  That was in the morning. A quick Costco and Sams trip then we headed home to unload and begin part 2 of the day, the Keytruda infusion.

I had planned on putting this up Wednesday, I was worn out Tuesday, but I made the mistake of getting a sausage/egg/cheese biscuit at Wygles. That didn't turn out so well as I caught food poisoning and spent the day wondering which end to put on or around the toilet. Thank God it was a small one.

That put me to yesterday trying to get some stuff done I didn't get done the day before.

11-11-2019 Pet Scan

   Today I had a Pet Scan done. The last infusion Dr. Ghandi said there was a lot of scar tissue, but the tumors were gone. I withheld this info as he was looking at an X-Ray that Dr. Anderson was looking at and Dr. Anderson didn't say that. So I was left to wonder if Dr. Ghandi was just being positive.

  The Pet Scan done today showed no disease, anywhere but did show a lot of scar tissue left behind. I am truly once again blessed. I go sometime next year for what I hope to be the final MRI of the brain. So far I've had 3 MRIs and none have shown the 2 tumors that 5 doctors saw. They say the medicine is better these days. I say God still works miracles and is still in charge.

Been sick the last few days. Tonight through was my first throw-up. Extreme Migraines and back and Bone Pain. As it stands now I'll probably have to get my Pain Pills refilled eventually. It has been cold and damp lately.

The wooly worms are dark this year signally a bad winter, and so it appears to be coming in like a lion.

I bought a Quadrunner from Mark. He said he was going to sell it since he will probably never be able to ride it again. I fear I may be the same.
