Hiya Ruth!

-> ->  HN> I've done a few trips without Anne, mostly
-> ->  HN> on photo gigs...and to tell the truth
-> ->  HN> I don't enjoy them nearly as much as when
-> 
-> -> If I'm in good company, the trip is OK. The times I've had to fly by
-> -> myself--some flights have been more enjoyable than others. On my 
flight
-> -> from Atlanta to LVNV last April, my seatmate was a British young
lady.
-> -> We talked about quite a wide range of topics but only touched on the 
up
-> -> coming wedding. She was glad she was in the States so she wouldn't be
-> -> caught up in the craziness of it all.
-> 
->  HN> When I'm without Anne on a trip, I tend
->  HN> to NOT do things...I get done what I need
->  HN> to get done and then go back to the hotel
->  HN> and stay in my room. I'll get take out food
->  HN> or do a drive through at a nearby fast food
->  HN> place, but not really go and "do" much.
-> 
-> I've been with other people--family or friends--and missed Steve but
-> usually been busy enough it's not been too much of an issue. Now I take
-> electronics so we can stay in touch easily too.
->
When Anne is along we tend to go 
exploring more, and take walks and
such...when I'm alone I do not tend 
to do that at all. 
 
-> ->  HN> she's around. She wants me to go to AZ for
-> ->  HN> some Spring Training games this month, as a
-> ->  HN> "reward" for being there for her (as if I
-> ->  HN> needed a reward for that!). I'm not terribly
-> ->  HN> interested in going alone.  It's just not
-> ->  HN> as much fun!
-> 
-> -> Any chance you both can go on her spring break? Tucson, Phoenix or
-> -> Surprise?
-> 
->  HN> Yep...for her spring break we are going to
->  HN> go to Sandy Eggo for a week. Touristy and
->  HN> relaxing, pampering and enjoying. Sit under
->  HN> a palm tree and look at the ocean.
-> 
-> But not AZ & baseball. Still, time with her better than no time with
-> her. Enjoy some CA seafood while out there.
->
The Mariner's will be starting their regular 
season when we are on vacation, so not AZ
baseball even if we had gone to AZ. 
 
-> ->  HN> the shot this afternoon!
-> 
->  HN> So far so good, not noting any
->  HN> side effects yet.
-> 
-> Good, hope it keeps up.
->
So far so good..nothing major 
from the shot so far but we'll
wait another week to be sure.
 
-> ->  HN> for 5 years. WE'll wait a couple of weeks
-> ->  HN> after the shot before starting the pills
-> ->  HN> just so we know which side effects come
-> ->  HN> from which med.
-> 
-> -> Smart planning there.
-> 
->  HN> we hope so!
-> 
-> As long as neither one produces a delayed reaction kind of thing......
->
I figure (and the Dr agrees) that any
thing that's going to show up that will
carry any impact will probably show 
up in the first two weeks. The only
exception might be "cumulative effects"
like we saw with the radiation..but there
is nothing we can do to prepare for that.
 
-> ->  HN> plan for a cozy at home meal. Maybe
-> ->  HN> even a smoothie or salad depending on
-> ->  HN> how she's feeling.
-> 
-> -> I understand. Let her take it easy, get a good night's sleep and a 
good
-> -> breakfast before going to school. She apparantly doesn't seem to be
-> -> picking up any nasty bugs from the kids, a good sign there.
-> 
->  HN> She is being very careful, and
->  HN> hopefully that will pay off.
-> 
-> Let's hope so but remember that bacteria and virii are sneakly little
-> bugs.
->
Yep, but I'm keeping on top of it!
 
-> -> My original oncologist basically said that it'll be a life long
issue.
-> -> I'm getting over the activities of the week end but not being too 
active
-> -> this week. Not getting nearly all the cooking done I thought I would.
-> 
->  HN> She came home from school pretty worn
->  HN> out today, but only one more day till
->  HN> the weekend and she can rest as much
->  HN> as she likes.
-> 
-> Which hopefully she's doing now.
->
Nope today was Monday so she was
back in the classroom!
 
-> ->  HN> this morning feeling pretty good and
-> ->  HN> we'll see how she does as the week
-> 
-> -> One day at a time. Still having a lot of drugs put into her system 
will
-> -> slow her down some. I couldn't get my regular multi vitamin the other
-> -> day so bought one that is supposed to be an "energy formula"; we'll 
see
-> -> if it gives me any more. I'm not holding my breath that it will tho.
-> 
-> ->  HN> goes on. Had about an inch of snow
-> ->  HN> on the ground this morning...quite a
-> ->  HN> surprise!
-> 
-> -> So was school delayed opening an hour or so? Standard practice out 
here;
-> -> they did it last month when we had a bit of snow (gone by early 
morning
-> -> but concerned about ice on the roads).
-> 
->  HN> Nope, on time...and Anne made it to
->  HN> school safely.
-> 
-> 
-> But how many kids were "accidentally late" because of the snow? (G)
-> 
I have no idea...when she gets home I 
try to engage her in other topics!
chat with you soon!
