Well I know now why I wanted all grandsons, it's easier to spell. (Just Kidding) Patti and I are getting ready for having the boys over on Friday and Saturday. We are also awaiting the arrival of grandchild #5. The ultrasound says a girl, but we will wait and see. I only know that it will be one more to spoil and then send home to mom and dad. It's great to be grandparents.
Patti is getting meals ready for us for when I start the interfuron. She is making smaller portions so I can eat more times during the day but less food at each meal. She is experimenting with different spices and different ways of preparing food. Food started changing for me the last two weeks of the radiation. Most just seems blah, and foods that I never use to like I am now eating. Contrary to what was suppose to happen, I am gaining weight now. I am up about 8 pounds from my lowest point a month and a half ago. We must be doing something right as my blood pressure is now maintaining what it was for probably 99% of my adult life, 119/80. This really makes me feel like we are beating this. Patti deserves a lot of credit. She has been here with me every minute, making sure we got appointments quickly, making sure I took my medicine and ate, even when I didn't want to, changing bandages, keeping my clothes clean even when I have to change shirt 2 or 3 times a day. She makes Florence Nightengale look like a candy striper. Who would have thought when the priest told me not to marry her because I was just infatuated with her, that 34years and five months later I would still be infatuated with her. God did a good job of hooking us up. And some day we will take that honeymoon trip that we never got to do.
We are looking forward to the spring and camping, fishing, four wheeling, train rides and traveling as much as we can. God's Peace in your life to all of you who read this.
