Merry Christmas

This is to all my friends celebrating Christmas. I wish you all a very merry Christmas and a healthy, happy new year. Especially the healthy part! To all my fellow pilots at UPS, I hope you had an easy "peak".

Monday with Mary

Well actually, not Mary, but Jana. Jana did my monthly oil, lube and filter (port flush and blood work) at the Sinai infusion center. Diana did come with me but she was really uncomfortable being back there again. I , on the other hand, have mixed emotions about being back there as you can well imagine. I did see Mary and was able to give her the chocolates I brought for her from London. I will get the blood work results tomorrow but I am sure everything will be fine.

Before the hospital visit I went to see my new Pulmonologist, Dr. Rubenfeld. We were referred to him by Dr. Erlich. The meeting went well and Diana and I were really comfortable with him. It seems that most of the breathing issues right now can be attributed to the radiation therapy. The radiation did what it was supposed to. It got rid of the tumour. But in the process it gave me radiation pneumonitis, a somewhat common but unfortunate side effect. A far better option than cancer! I will be seeing Dr. Rubenfeld again in late January. That will give him time to see the latest PET/CT scan and all the past x/rays etc.

Weekend update

Ahh, jet lag. Nothing like it. You would have figured that after 28 years I would have the jet lag crap under control. No such luck. But there is a bright side to waking up early, and I do mean early. Man U had a game in Japan this past Thursday at 5:30 am that I was wide awake for. We won 5-3. Then on Sunday morning there was another 5:30 am game that I was also up for. Yes, we won again 1-0. What an obsession!

Saturday morning we picked Robyn up from college. What a relieved young lady. Exams are over and now she can enjoy her winter break. Saturday evening Diana and I went for dinner with our neighbors, Larry and Danica. We went to a really nice French restaurant and it was like being back in Paris!

Carpe Diem.
