Dr Day

It was Husband's DR Day in Fort Stockton. It was eventful. This was a combination new visit/update of previous medical condition with new (local) Primary Care Dr. DR What's his name was not at all happy with condition of Husband's arm and chest. After examination, he assessed condition as needing attention ASAP. The swelling in the chest appears to be under the chest muscle and is advancing. It also appears that the swelling extends through armpit into underneath of upper arm and on into the elbow. DR contacted ALBUQ VA (which I am not fond of) and requested appointment ASAP. Hopefully, they will respond quickly and this situation will be resolved.

This Dr at least was able to tell us the extent of lymph glands that had been removed by reading the surgeons report from 2 year ago that he accessed on line, and could see chemo treatments that had been prescribed, but he was very unhappy at follow up exam just a couple of months ago. I hope he is able to make something happen. Husband is miserable and very concerned. Especially now. Husband asked this Dr if there was more to be concerned about...Dr said absolutely. DR said drainage was internal and this is not a good thing. I keep you posted.

We ate lunch and ran into Wal Mart for cat litter and came home. There were storms all around us and they are continuing as I write. The raindrops are falling and the sun is shining. It's quite pretty.

Husband got a hefty check in the mail today for his 10 minutes of civic duty - Jury duty - which he got out of. Twenty Dolla'!! I don't remember if I told you or not...he went to Court, prepared to tell them he had medical appointments, etc... and they said 'no problem'...it was for the Grand Jury!! We thought is was for a regular trial, but no!...it was for 6 months of Grand Jury service. He had his (today's) appointment card with him and also told them he could have several subsequent DR dates and the Court said there was no question of dismissal. But anyhooo...he has a $20 check burning a hole in his pocket now!!

We got a DVD at Wal Mart. It's the first 34 episodes of Bonanza and it was $5.00. Guess what we are watching?

Now it's thundering south of us.

I knitted a few inches of a Roll Brim Hat on the way back from Fort Stockton. I'll finish it later...it's still 'make jewelry' night andI need to get busy on making a few things. Right now if I laid down I could probably sleep for hours! Not a smart thing to do....I may be back later...
