It's been busy having company here; not much time to post. I've been going to PT the last couple of weeks and still have some more to do until the neck gets back into shape. We're getting there with exercises, stretching and massage. It is getting a bit better every day.j

I scheduled my PET scan today! On Monday June 25th at 11:00 AM! 19 days and counting! The only bad thing is that I can't have anything to eat or drink (only water) for 6 hours before. I've gotten used to having my breakfast and a can of V-8 in the morning. Oh well! At 11 I'll get my cup of barium! Andrea can't even drink the barium - I didn't think it was too bad. I have my results appointment set up for Wednesday June 27th at 2:00 PM. I am going to have to keep really busy that day or the time will go so slow! In my head I am really confident that the boys are dead and gone; I have a great deal of faith in Lord, all the prayers everyone has given for me, the work of the excellent doctors and nurses and my bodies ability to heal. But still...it is a bit scary!

I am amazed daily how well that I am doing. I have to admit that I am not a full 100% in energy and stamina but, conservatively I can say I am 95% there. That 5% is more of the muscle that I lost during treatment. I will be back in shape before too long...fencing lessons will start in September and I don't want to look too bad! The taste gets a little bit more everyday and I am enjoying more and more tastes and flavors every day. The saliva is still dragging behind; it's better than it was and continues to get better it is just moving slower than everything else. It will get there!
