December update

Once again life hasn't changed much since the last blog. Sue Brad and I went to the dental office last week for our six-month checkups, and it was good to see this staff again. We recently lost a staff member due to husband being transferred, but we're expecting that. And are presently in the process of hiring someone new. We probably got close to 100 applications including a lawyer who was a CEO of a company, so I guess the economy and unemployment is as bad as they say it is. Normally when we look for new employees we are lucky to find one or two good ones as far as resumes go, but this time it looks like we have a lot to choose from which is a good thing.

I've also caught up with the office books except for one check for $86.48. Now it's up to my poor accountant who has to make heads or tails of the past year. So it's probably going to take him several times longer to do my taxes this year, so I wish him the best of luck. Now that I caught up on everything, I only need about five hours per week to do the office work. Plus the fact that I don't really have any doctor appointments or therapies, I have gotten a lot of free time. Where in the past my calendar was pretty full, now I have days that are completely open and the only time I really have to be out is for the aqua therapy which is twice a week.

I do have my game group which we meet once a week for board games. Next week, I'm going to learn how to play majong, or however you spell it. So if anybody out there likes to play board games, give me a call, or if you just want to visit, that's fine also.

This Saturday, is our office party at THAT' AMORE. I'll have to bring some of my own stuff to eat because there is very little on the menu that I can eat. But I may cheat a little bit.

For Thanksgiving, we went to Lisa and Jack's, and Jack was his usual good chef. He did the old dip the turkey into the deep fryer in the backyard and didn't blow up the house. It also had to be a really cold day which made it not as much fun. But I cheated and had some skinless white meat along with the veggies that he had made, so it was really weird eating regular food again.

Two days after Thanksgiving which was a Saturday, which was our traditional day for putting up the Christmas lights, but since they were already up from last year, all we. had to do is plug them in, and believe it or not after one year of those lights being up there, we only had to replace five light bulbs. They also got a bunch of miscellaneous things done that day including getting a new Christmas tree that came complete with lights and looks really good in the family room, which is a new place for the Christmas tree since the living room is now my bedroom.

My younger sister will be coming in for the holidays for a week and she is a gamer, so it wil be nice to have her here, plus after being unemployed for a while, she finally got a new job which is great news. My mom is doing good. We call each other each morning, to make sure we're both alive.

A friend of mine is taking me to see the comedy show, "whose line is it anyway",on January 30 at the Pabst Theater which is a show I saw two years ago and pretty much split a gut with laughter, and considering it is all improv, I know I won't see a duplicate, but I'm sure the laughs will be there.

The only other thing I'm doing different right now is that I put myself on a hydrogen peroxide therapy, which again is designed to super oxygenate my cells and help kill off the cancer cells. It requires drinking 3, 6 to 8 ounces glasses of water with peroxide in it. You start with three drops for every 6 to 8 ounces and increase it one drop per day until you get up to 25 drops and then taper back down to three drops. It gets a little nasty at 25 drops and you have to have it on an empty stomach. Thank goodness I'm working my way down, in fact today was 20 drops. On December 16th, I will be getting my next MRI, and on December 23, I have a doctors appointment and will get the results. So we will see how the diet and the peroxide therapy worked out. I am pretty optimistic about how things are going to turn out, because I really don't want to go through any chemo or radiation therapy because they tend to damage too much normal cells.

I guess I have more to talk about than I thought.

That's it for now, when I get the latest MRI results, I will let everyone know.
