Good PET scan, I thought I was a dog, but I am a cat.

 Met with Doc Mc Grath to day to get an explanation of the scan results. He was very optimistic about the results.  His statement, "All went well, nothing is a problem at present.  I am scheduling you for radiation of the facial area.  They will call you with the time and date."

"Doctor," I said, "If Dr. Caulifield got it all, and none showed up on the scan, why do I need the radiation.  To tell you the truth, I am in my 80s now and do not want to fall in the old folks problem of a DR. appt every week."  I could tell he did not appreciate my statement.

He said, "NO ONE can say for sure 'I got it all',  they could easily miss ONE cancer cell, and you are back where you started.  With your CANCER being one of the most aggressive, I want to be sure it doesn't come back to bite you."

Cancer?  that is the first time that word has been used,.  All I have heard and seen is, "We are not sure what it is. possible  Merkel cell carcinoma. BUT just using the words 'AGGRESIVE CANCER' slowed me down some and I didn't even ask him what KIND of cancer?

BUT right now, all is well and the report of the scan was better than expected.  So now I wait again and listen for the phone call for my  NEXT APPOINTMENT. LIKE THE REST OF MY PEERS ..LOL

Sorry to be so spotted in my reading an posting, but we are still in a tough schedule.

Still working on my to do list.  Today I just finished flooring the bathroom area and also the area  that  will be Sherry's dressing table area.  That area still needs the electrical work and adding wainscoting the walls.

I am also trying to vary my menus, but am not too successful. In the morning I will try a ham and cheese omelet with grits.

OH YES,  I have just met my newest animal friend here. It is a bunny, it  looks like maybe 5 weeks old.  He hasn't talked yet but he listens very well and pays attention.  It is much more friendly than the squirrels, possums, and raccoons.  LOL Also one feral cat, still only a night time 'distant' friend...

Thanks so much for your thoughts, prayers and attention. 

I am still doing pretty well, life is good..
