Great end to the week

This weekend we went to a dinner party, leisa drove her car for the first time since the end of March, and she generally felt quite good. The insurance company said no thank you once again so we have a final appeal before more drastic action needs to be taken.

Suburban hospital started harrassing me three (3) days after I received their bill. It seems alot of people don't pay their hospital bills feeling insurance companies should pay every last cent. Anyway, it was so nice to hear from them so quickly and to feel like a criminal. Thank you Suburban Hospital. The care liesa got there was second to none but I guess the billing department needs a cut-throat attitude in order to get paid.

Next round of chemotherapy Wednesday through Friday. We can count on days 3-7 of the cycle to be nasty and the week following to be pretty good. New set of scans a week from Wednesday to determine the effectiveness of the treatment. We already know there a fewer cancer cells because of the markers' decline. Dr. said its a slow grower and a slow shrinker so don't expect too much from the drugs this early. The scans may not show a whole lot of tumor shrinkage yet.

I am not updating the blog very often because the cycle is becoming predictable as described above and there is really very little to report. I will certainly update the blog with any important changes.

The front porch might be done for Thanksgiving. Glaciers move faster. Glad we're not paying hourly.

Thanks for all the food.
