Early Fathers' Day for Bob...

I got to see my girls in Heath a week before Fathers' Day. Not only my girls...I got to see my favorite (only) grand daughter Teagan. What a treat! And what wonderful blessings...

All Clear!!!

Had my three month (post surgery) checkup at MD Anderson yesterday! Blood work, x-rays and CT scan. I met with Dr. Kamat today to go over the results. He gave me another “ALL CLEAR.” He even accused me of showing off by being in good shape. I don’t have to go back for six months. I’m still a little overwhelmed by it all. Actually very overwhelmed!

On a different note, I do have a couple of tips to make these follow up exams fun:

1) In the CT Imaging area you fill out a questionnaire when you check in. The third question is “Are you breast feeding?” I checked YES to see if they would notice…they didn’t!
2) Another question asks “Are you aware of the rectal contrast procedure?” I checked NO but stated I would probably be aware if/when it happened.

Thanks to all of you who continue to support me through this new life. Hopefully I can return the favor.

Wow, I waited a whole week to update the blog. Sorry!

I spent Monday through Thursday in the Dallas area. I stayed with my lovely sister-in-law Jayne at her (my) home in the country. It’s so peaceful I don’t want to leave sometimes. But there are these things called work and reality I have to deal with.

Tuesday was fun. I met Jayne, Glen, Paul and Gail at Gail’s house after work. We sat out back and drank Coronas and ate pizza. There were absolutely no discussions about diets, points, weight etc. We just ate and drank. Life is good!

This was my first week on the road, in the stores. I did okay. My feet got a little tired from the ongoing nerve issues and I got tired just because I’m out of “work” shape. I probably pushed a little too hard, trying to visit all stores in 2 ½ days. Typically I’ll visit one store per day. Anyway, it’s good to be back. Next week I’ll be in training for a couple of days and then head back to DFW on Thursday.

I stopped by my new apartment complex. I like the location of our unit. Can’t wait to get moved in next month!

Nine days until my three-month follow up at M.D. Anderson. I’m planning on getting another “all clear” from my doctor.
