The Waiting Game

Uodate:  We are waiting on genetic marker info; ultrasound shows no involvement in lymph nodes or left breast.  And so we wait.

Right now my surgeon and the MDA tumor board are going with lumpectomy with reconstructive surgery and lifting of the left breast so I have symmetry.  I can handle that; however, the follow up with radiation, chemo, med infusion, and pills is daunting.  

But so many have been kind in reaching out to us.  I will try to keep you updated as things roll out.

To give the motorhome a run and put a load on the generator, we booked a campground in Bryan, TX for two nights.  It is about 75 miles away so not a great distance but enough to accomplish our mission.  When we were set up, we went to the Bush library to walk the grounds.  We visited the gravesites of George, Barbara and Robin.  Then we attempted to find Kyle Field.  We could see it but we had a devil of a time reaching it.  There were so many one way and closed streets that we about gave up.  But we made it!

Our good friends, the ones who invite us to Hilton Head, drove down from Austin for lunch and to visit.  We really appreciated them taking the time to come.  Later we made the obligatory trip to Walmart.  

The weather was going to be bad Saturday so we were up and on our way home by 7:40 am.  We avoided the high winds and a tornado but did hit some heavy rain.  We topped off the fuel and drove to storage.  While Ted unhitched the car I grabbed the bags on the couch where I packed the few items we had brought along.  Ted backed into our spot, under my direction, and we were home before 11.

We went to church as usual and were informed the dispensation from attending Mass on Sunday is being removed starting January 2.  We only stopped March-June 2020, then making reservations and wearing masks, we returned even while traveling both summers and while wintering in the Rio Grande Valley.  

Sunday we drove to SE Houston to see our friends Tommy and Susan’s totally gutted and newly renovated home.  What a superb job!  We then had lunch at Maggiano’s.  Wonderful food and you can buy another dinner to take home for $5!  We enjoyed ravioli and meatballs and spaghetti then ordered two lasagnas to go for $10!  They are in the freezer for another day!
