The short answer is yes.Wow, that is a lot of information that you have to think through and try to understand, @Tony Page . Are you still researching natural methods to try and help contain the cancer also , like you had mentioned earlier ? It sounds like every little think might help, or at least give you better physical strength to go through the cancer treatments they are giving you.
Prayers that everything goes well with the new tests.
Thank you
Play some oldies once in a while, I have to become more active with the music, the stuff I play may not be popular.
My bird feeder has been very active having a hard time selecting pictures.I want to keep. I have to get to the store to get some more seed i ran out this morning.Tony, I know what you mean about over planting. Back when I had a garden, I felt like I could tend 20 acres in spring planting time. But when the summer heat and humidity hit, it was a different story. I learned that "A wo/man has to know her/his limitations." I don't have a garden now, but both my sons do. They both enjoy gardening as much as I used to.
Are you having as many birds at your feeder as you did a few weeks ago? I'm not. Back then, I was having them in flocks. I had goldfinches by the dozens. I think they have moved on back up north. The ones who stay are nesting right now. I see a few all day so I'm still feeding. The cardinals come at the edge of dark. I have part of a bag of seed left. When that's gone, I'll take down my feeder until next fall.
My dog TIA is having a problem walking this morning. She seems to be having a problem with a hind section she's walking side to side and wants to lay down most of the time. She seemed fine last night, but this morning, when we got up, she didn't come over and do her usual morning greetings. She just kept lying down. We feel she had injured herself, and from what we read, it's best not to bother her and let her rest. If she's not doing better by tomorrow, she is 86 lbs. we're going to have to figure out how to get her into the car for a trip to the vet. I am also expecting a call from a nurse, from the oncology doctor's office, to go over the hormone treatment for my prostate cancer. we'll see how tomorrow plays out.
We let her a rest, Spoiled her a little by bringing food and water to where she was laying down. The next day she was walking a little better, As long as she was improving , we didn't think a vet was necessary. She's back to her old self now.Hope its nothing too bad. Our pets are very important to us.
I did the same thing, The first thing I bought was a pair of X-Ray Specs that could supposedly see through anything from a girl's dress to 6" thick wall when I was 6. And of course they couldn't really do that, and I was out 50¢ so I learned my lesson. I never ordered anything again unless I asked my Dad first. He nixed about 2\3 of stuff I asked him about, but I did get some great model kits from Popular Mechanics ads. One I really like was the Lil Red Baron model kit...From my earliest days, I used to read Popular Mechanics and Popular Science. In the back of these magazines were classified ads. Any Ad of Interest, if they said "free catalog," I would circle. I would take a count of how many their were, then go out and buy postcards to request the free catalogs.
Yes, there are still post cards. You just have to find the store that sells them. Such as stores in or near touristy areas. My first real Internet friend, whom I've known since 1995, used to make and selll 3D models for games back when Monster Truck Madness (and MTM2) was popular. He never asked for money though. All he wanted for his 3D models was a postcard from somewhere, "the more unique the better" he said. So I sent him one from Flagstaff, Arizona, and one from Toad Suck, Arkansas.I'm not even sure they make postcards any longer, but that's what I use back then to request a catalog.
Glad you got through it okay @Tony PageHad my PET scan last night. The whole process lasted about 3 hours. When I got back to my car the clock read 7:30 PM. The machine is similar to an MRI. I had to hold my arms up over my head for 30 minutes while inside a tube that scans my body. In the last 10 minutes or so, I was in extreme pain. I finally had to ask, "Is it going to be much longer? My shoulders are killing me." The Tech's response "Just another 4 minutes, then we can lower your arms for the rest of the test, I have to take another pass over the prostate." I barely held on for those last 4 minutes. The rest of the test with my arms down was a breeze. Now I just have to wait for the results which will take a few days. I'm glad that's over. Hopefully, I won't have to go through that again.
I got a message From my oncologist on my Portal today that the cancer is contained within the prostate. No signs of it anywhere else. Which was good news considering We though it might have spread to the walls outside the prostate.Glad you got through it okay @Tony Page
