Readers! How are you doing? I am at home right now writing this post on Word again. I will be going into the office on Monday and will upload it to the blog from there. The last few days have been busy ones. My parents have been in town and were able to meet and discuss the clinical trail with Dr. D. My dad had a lot of questions and I think both he and my mom left the office feeling much better. I had blood drawn, gave a urine sample and had an EKG done before my mom and I left.

I did find out that I am the first patient of Dr. D’s that was found for the trail. The trail is world-wide but very small due to the difficulty of find people like me. You know, one who kicks ass! Ha, just kidding. There are a lot of certain criteria that one has to fit and I guess I am the best one they have found so far. On Thursday, I went back for an Echo Gram to check out my how my heart is doing. I had this done about 2 months ago before I started the last chemo I was on. It is very normal for the to be done before each round of chemo. I will also have another CT scan performed. The one last week was only for the chest and for the trail they need to one of the chest, pelvic and abdominal areas. I had to drink contrast (which was mocha flavored and disgusting in the morning) and have been fasting since midnight last night. I am allowed to have little sips of water but no coffee. That is what is hurting the most. I am sure around 10:30 I will hit and invisible wall and want to pass out!

At my appointment on Tuesday we discussed my pain levels. I am feeling much better then I have been for the past few weeks. Right now I am taking 3 10mg of Oxycotin in the morning and evening and 1 5mg of Oxycodone about 2 to 4 times a day depending on my pain. I had been around an 8 throughout the day and now I have dropped to as low as a 3 sometimes! It is like a different world! Gold star for Dr. D!

The Boy, Best Friend and The Mom

The Boy has been having and exciting week thanks to my friend Jennifer (mom of best friend of The Boy) and my dad. On Tuesday night they went down to Centennial park and rode the huge Ferris Wheel they have there. They also played in the Olympic Water Rings.

The Boy spent the night and then on Wednesday Jennifer, my Dad, The Boy, The Friend and The Sister all went canoeing on the Chattahoochee River. There were stops to islands, mud fights, water fights and ice cream involved. Good Times! Apparently The Boy packed for two nights so he spent the nights so he spent the night again. Trying to have as much fun as possible before school starts of Monday!

Another Proud Chicken Mama Moment

Zazzles & Terry Pete roosting!

Poppy & Turbo not roosting.

Not only are Zazzles and Terrance Peterson roosting, we have a new member of the family! My FIL, Bob, came down to visit us since it has been awhile since we have all seen each other. He had yet to meet The Girls, Timber or Panny. He is a reader of the blog and thought The Majestic need a rooster to watch out for the girls. Introducing Felix!

Keeping watch

I am at work getting ready to post this. I have a lot more to write but it did not save on my zip drive. Hopefully by the time I get home today the internet will be working and I can start posting regularly from home. Keep your fingers crossed!!
