Non-cancer update

I am dropping a note but it’s not exactly cancer related. I’ve had pain and discomfort in my lower back and right leg since April when I had a bad fall. I’ve had 2 procedures since then to try to resolve the issue, with no luck.

I’ve been referred to a neuro-oncologist. Amazingly I was able to get an appointment for this week! So, I will go to meet with him (Dr. “Eddie” as he is referred to) and see what he has to say.

Those of you who have been dealing with chronic pain, I salute you. This is no joke, for sure.

In spite of that, I’m trying to make the best of the last days of summer. It’s been raining quite a bit here so my time sitting outside is a bit limited. Fortunately, we have big windows that look out on to the back yard filled with flowers.

In other news, Glen is wrapping up his annual fly fishing trip in southern Colorado. Evelyn is moved in to her first apartment. Maddy started her junior year and lasted 2 days before she came down with COVID. She missed the entire first full week of school, she also developed an ear infection. She is on the mend now, but it’s slow. No first day of school photos this year either. I have my regular oncology appointment next week (labs, office visit, treatment shots).

Our lovely cat, Toulouse, really needs a companion. I’m planning on visiting the local humane societies on a day when I can get my discomfort under sufficient control.

It’s hard to believe it’s almost September, I hope you are making the most of each day and your summer has been one filled with fun and making new memories.
