Bighorn Ewe.
This morning was clear, about 15 degrees when I left home, and just a breeze. Won't make this so long as yesterday. Much today was just the same as in my other descriptions. I met Charm at Boulder and we took off to Jackson to get my CT scans done. We left Boulder maybe 15 minutes early. She drove us both ways since I had to drink the barium stuff beginning at 9 a.m. Gave Maxine a call as we went through Pinedale and she met us at 40 Rod. We pulled up to the parking spot at the same time as she got there. A nice ride on dry roads through the Hoback. Still lots of deep snow in there and beautiful scenery as usual but it's looking more spring-like. That snow storm that was predicted didn't materialize at all, though they did have the tiniest skiff on the ground as we got in to Jackson. We chatted along the whole way.
Maxine had a couple of errands and we still got to Oncology about 15 minutes early. Paige got the IV for the contrast into my arm on the first try - she is GOOD! The CT technician came for me and it seemed the whole scan thing didn't take but 10 or 15 minutes. The doctor came and checked the scan and they did locate my liver. Then it takes them quite a while to check the new scans against the old ones so I won't know a lot more until I see the Huntsman Doctor Ward on the 25th. Although I did get the results of the tumor marker test which they took last week. It is lower yet again. I don't go back for any treatments until the 25th, and see what he says is the next step.
So then we went to the jewelry store where Charm picked up her necklace that she was having repaired. And on to the Bunnery for a good lunch. For the longest time I've been hungry for a bacon cheeseburger so indulged in one - it was delicious along with home fried chips. Charm and Maxine's lunches looked yummy too. I brought about 1/3 of the burger home for the dogs. They always look for that white box. Bought a few of the bakery goodies.Their OMS rolls are so delicious. We stopped at Albertsons and got fried chicken for dinner, with some macaroni and cheese. Then the back home.
Today was the sixteenth time we've made the trip to Jackson. Even though every thing went quickly it was still 4 p.m. by the time I got here. All in all, a very enjoyable day spent with dear friends.
Have thrown the dinner into the oven to be heating up, and glad it was simple. The long drive and long day has been, well, l - o - n - g. I think I will go to bed early tonight.
Was happy to have seen all five of my cats out in the field hunting for something together early this morning. Seeing them all together doesn't happen often so now I'm really sure that I have them all.
There are pictures of mountain goats people have been seeing in the Snake River Canyon. http://www.pinedaleonline.com/news/2008/04/MountainGoats.htm . We drive by that road, and its not very far down there to where the goats are. I think Dave Bell on pinedaleonline also has some mountain goat photos.
