A GOOD TIME
Last week was good. Everything was as planned. I hate it when, even after careful thought and planning, things don't turn out as expected. Often reservations are lost, things are not at the location originally stated--things like that. But most everything was good. The hotel didn't give me the type of room requested. But in this case what I got was even better! It was on the top floor and had extra services without extra charges. One of the best of the "extras" was a full breakfast each day only for those on the top two floors. It was in a special room on the floor below ours. And the breakfast was huge. All you could eat of scrambled eggs, link sausage, bacon, oatmeal, a huge variety of fruit and juices, plus the usual breakfast beverages. Nice!
The Convention we attended was excellent in every way. Well.....every way but one. The Convention and Exhibit halls were freezing. I think it must have been 32 degrees in there. And the hotel lobby was just as bad. I came home with a terrific head cold and lost my voice over the weekend. I am still suffering from the effects of the cold.
Karon has a good idea. Just as public places use to have smoking and non smoking areas, she said Convention Centers and restaurants should have "cold" and "warm" sections! The weather outdoors was great all week but we wouldn't know. Our hotel was connected to the convention center. That made it really nice for us with the wheelchair. Karon did great all week. We didn't get up very early and she managed a nap every afternoon. She was tired when it was all over but did very well.
Yesterday was "doctor day" again. We got another good report. The tumor marker had decreased quite a bit from the last test a month ago. So we're encouraged by that. The doctor said that all the symptoms she is feeling is due to the Chemo. She has been on some type of Chemo consistently for a couple of years and her body is saying, "I don't like this!" Before her next Chemo treatment in three weeks she will have a CT and a bone scan. We're not anticipating any adverse results from these because the tumor marker is continuing to come down.
I'm glad to be back to our "routine"once again. I like my life and and grateful for health to do what I do.
More later,
Jim
