Sept. 27-Nov. 21

From a temperate MO,

I kept having good intentions about updating this blog, but I usually opted to stretch out on the bed instead. I don't know what has been going on, but I seem to get tired quickly and frequently.

We have followed CHS football again this year until the last couple of games. Jim started having mild flare-ups with Meniere's again (claimed he was taking his medications) and then ended up having a full blown case of sinus infection. Two trips to the doctor finally seems to have made progress. In the meantime, he quietly told me (about a week ago) that he had stopped taking Zyrtec (spelling) this fall and maybe that was what contributed to the Meniere flare-ups - DUH!!!

In the meantime I "caught" his sinus infection and am thinking I am finally - hopefully - returning to the world of the semi-functional. I seem to have energy one day and then spend much of the next day in bed.

We missed one game because Jim felt so bad and the next game was in KC - Jim feeling so-so and I felt bad enough that I knew I couldn't safely drive us back home if he couldn't.

I did have another CT in October and again the result showed no growth in the mass on the right adrenal gland. My next CT will be in March.

We made a trip to KC today - first to the Plaza where we found a couple of Christmas gifts and then north of the river where we took care of some more. We couldn't believe how much traffic and then I remembered it was a Saturday - and we usually go during the week.

We have had a new great nephew born in October - so now two great nieces and the one great nephew.

I need to get busy with Christmas cards and letters. Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day so we will put up lights on our front porch - just not turn them on until after Thanksgiving. Jim and I are getting too old to be climbing around in deep snow or sliding on ice - so this is the "OLD FOGIE" way of decorating outside.

Until next time.
