Sorry about the length of time that has gone by since I've last updated this blog. :-(
Mike, Gina and the kids did stop by on their way down to the attractions, and in fact, they stopped by on the way back also!! Jim and Linda had good visits with them even though they only stayed for a couple of hours each time.
Jim's last Opdivo treatment was to be on the 23rd of June, but because of some digestive side effects from the treatments, the last treatment still hasn't happened!!! :-( First of all it was rescheduled for the 30th of June and now it's been rescheduled for the 7th of July. Hopefully, the side effect will have disappeared by then so he can get that last treatment.
He does have a PET Scan scheduled for the 13th of July and a visit with the radiation Dr. (Dr. Graham), on the 14th. Hopefully that will not have to be rescheduled.
On the 26th of June, Jim and Linda took Lily and headed over to Cedar Key, FL. where they rented a motel room for 3 nights. The motel was located right on the gulf and they had an excellent view of the Gulf of Mexico from their 2nd story balcony.
They even had a real pretty sunset one night while they were there. ;-)
It was a good get-a-way for a change. They really hadn't been anywhere since they returned here to DeBary last fall.
They went out to eat a a couple local restaurants and had seafood, (it's the big thing in Cedar Key). Drove around the island some and basically just "kicked back" for the 3 days they were there. It was about 135 miles over there and it took them just under 3 hours to travel the distance.
So, , , , , , for now, we wait and see what is going to happen with Jim's treatments. The plan is still to try to get up to Illinois yet this summer, (or fall), to see doctors, friends and relatives, but as usual, all Jim's plans are in pencil.
Jim's feeling pretty well, except for the digestive issues, and Linda is doing well. If we can just get past this bump in the road, we'll be on our way North and possibly up to NC and VA to see the boys yet this year.
Did you know that 7% of Americans believe that chocolate milk comes from brown cows?
Mooooo!!!! (I meant Woof!!!!)
Glad you were able to take a break in Cedar Key. It is one laid back little town. That's why we enjoy our winters there.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your side effects Jim. Hope the PET scan goes well. Good to hear that Linda is doing good.
Syl and Gin
