SZYM, solar....let's try that one this week. Not sure how it will do.
I'll be busy this coming week. Son, DIL & 2 grands should arrive tomorrow! They flew into LA from Japan on June 22, bought a used vehicle and have been touring/vacationing their way across the US. They have been to Yellowstone and tent camped 2 days and also did a white water raft! They were supposed to have been in St. Louis for the fireworks last night.
So everyone have a great week and stay safe!
Well, I'm not excited or rushing or anything....  I forgot....SZYM, long! |

I talked the Oncologist today about the PET scan and bone marrow sample. He told me all the findings were consistent with a low grade non-aggressive lymphoma. He is prescribing observation as the treatment and said it is possible I have had this for some time. Under the circumstances I think this was extremely good news to hear.
I will be going in for periodic CAT scans.
I have been going to the park to exercise and appear to be at full energy other than what the hot temperatures take from me. Thank you for your support and prayers.
