Watching the Game - Nothing the Same

I am sitting here watching the Tigers and they just got 5 runs in the first innings. Wow, that doesn't happen often. But, it is lots of fun. My sister-in-law Nancy met me at chemo today in GR. Well, my platelets were too low to have it. So instead we went to Roses for lunch and then did a little shopping after picking up many new prescriptions.

I saw the Dr. and told him about my very sore incision. He ordered a CT-scan for that. It will be scheduled soon. He put me on antibiotics. He said that I will have 3-6 sessions of chemo ( a session being once every three weeks or once a week for three weeks). It all depends on what my CA-125 does. So now I am planning on chemo all summer and maybe into the fall. I will start having it once every three weeks. I need to have my platelets rechecked on Friday. The nurses doubt it will be high enough to have chemo on Monday, plus I was planning on being up north for the whole week with Rumy's parents and I want to feel good. They said people take a week off for vacation all the time, so that is probably what I will do.

Stan and I had a good weekend up north. My parents were up at their place too. We went into Cadillac for church and then they took me out (and Stan) to brunch for my birthday. We went to a great little place called Lakeside Charlies. They had the best brunch for $11.95. We will definitely go back there. We went back to Cadillac at night for a free bluegrass concert on Lake Cadillac that evening. It was a perfect night to listen and sing along to lots of old hymns and songs.

Rumy's parents made it on Friday night into Chicago. They were worried, because they first got the 
word that they would be stuck in Wash D.C. because of mechanical problems and not make it in until the next morning. Well, they must have found them a plane because they arrived about three hrs. late. They had a wonderful weekend in Chicago, walking around, her Dad didn't stop snapping pictures. They were amazed that there was no trash on the freeways. They saw a concert in Millineum Park, went to the Art Museum, top of the Hancock building and lots more. Ross said that they just love everything and are very easy to entertain. They are in Lansing for a few days at Ross and Rumy's house and we are looking forward to meeting and having them stay here with us starting on Thurs. night. What are people's suggestions to show a couple from Bulgaria in Holland and Michigan??

Until they figure out what is going on with my abdomen, I will take my pain med and then I can function. Thanks for everyone's kind words of encouragement during these past couple of weeks.
The Tigers are now winning 6-0, yeh!!
