Spring is or should be here at last.....?????
Woke up to a new skiff of snow Wednesday morning. Then watched the squalls come and go up in the canyon and across the hills. The dreary clouds say "me! me!" and the sun says, "no, ME!
Yesterday Paige, one of "my"nurses from Oncology in Jackson, called with my appointment time and the plan for the new course of chemo treatment. The appointment is at 11:30 Monday May 5. So unless we change the day, it will be the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26th. I will have four weeks of treatment and two weeks off. Get this..... The name of this chemo is Full Fury. The first time the IVs will drip for an hour and a half. The second week about an hour, then after that it will take about 30 minutes each time, which is what my last one took. Paige said it is more aggressive but shouldn't be too much worse than what I have already been taking. She told me that Monday I would come home with a pump attached to the port in my chest that would go for 48 more hours. I'm apprehensive about that. I expect Monday to be a long day. Diarrhea was mentioned. Guess the thing to remember is I can stop the treatment any time, or they can try something else.
During the two weeks off I still may be able to travel to Las Vegas to see Tayler graduate and visit family and friends there. Although not my favorite way to go, I could get on a plane and have them haul me around the airport on one of their golf carts so I don't get tired trying to walk/hurry/run. That it never occurred to me to do that until Beverly said they would, must mean I'm still in a strong/well frame of mind. Traveling is depending on how sick the new chemo makes me and other variables. There is also a pastel workshop in Idaho Falls that I would like to go to. It starts next week and will go from May 7 to 11th. I feel like I should be doing a few things besides just staying at home waiting for the next treatment especially since the weather is getting nicer. It really helps my mood. Friends Betty and Nancy will be here to visit from the 11th until the 16th or so, and we're sure looking forward to that. You guys be sure to bring your winter coats.
Sandra and Dave have the approval on the sale of their FBO (fixed base operator) at the Pinedale airport. Congratulations you guys, and best wishes on your new retirement. They have bought a cabin at South Pass and I know they will get rich panning for gold in the gulch.
Sandra called yesterday and we had a nice visit. I had to let her know that Joe isn't going to hay this year, so she needs to find another source for her horses' hay. Not many ranchers put up small bales any more either. They make giant bales now that weigh several tons and feed it with big feeders. So I hope she finds a good place to buy it. I also told Gina and Bob the other day.
Joe also said he isn't going to irrigate this spring. I'm glad he's not going to be on that machinery any more, so it's a sad mark in time and also a relief. He is going to let Doc come and hay our place and Doc will take the hay. I bet it doesn't take them more than two days with their big machinery.
Here's a lady who takes photos of the mountains and Wyoming land forms from her plane. Thought you might like to see them. http://www.wyomingaerophoto.com/

Do so enjoy and appreciate your little tidbits of valuable and interesting information. I take it they also have freedom of choice issues also?
