Debbie Picking Out Clothes for Gloria

Bella was waiting with toys before I got out of bed. She wants to play all day long.

This morning Debbie took off for the airport at 7 a.m. to pick up my sister Gloria. She arrived to be here through the weekend and will go back to Tucson early Monday. I thought I had plenty of time to get breakfast, showered and ready to go for the day by the time they got back, Debbie said two hours, but it was hardly an hour and I had been sitting out on the patio again with breakfast and playing with the dog when they came back. So I got my rear in gear and got ready. We visited here a while and then went to my 11 a.m. doctor appointment at the Nevada Cancer Center. I saw Dr. Wu, he was nice and we liked him very much. Although he gave a quite long medical lesson. It was partly stuff we already knew and partly some interesting things about new things that are happening with research and treatments. He had read my records which had been faxed and said he and his colleagues agreed that Full Fury is the proper treatment for me at this time, and that in some cases it is doing very good things. It was mainly used with good results for bowel/colon cancers, and now they are having good reports with it for pancreatic cancer. Then had blood drawn to make sure I'll be good to take the treatment. He scheduled it for Monday at 9:45 and said it would take about 3 hours. That is half the time as at Jackson, so will see if it actually is that much shorter. I have to email them my list of prescriptions in the morning - sure hoping I have it saved in the external hard drive where I had a full list already typed up - or I will have to do it over.

By then it was time for lunch and we went to Chopstix for Chinese food. Next Debbie, Gloria and I went to Avenue, a clothes store where Bev, Deb and I got Gloria a couple of new outfits for her birthday gifts. She found quite a few cute things she liked. I got a couple of those camisole tops - I have been wanting some for a while and never had found any. Back to Debbie's to meet Beverly - she came over after work. And we all went to meet my other sister Diana at Landry's for an early dinner. It was very nice.

Diana took Gloria home with her, and they have things planned they are going to do. Diana lives in Henderson. They'll be back for Tayler's graduation Friday and the graduation party Saturday. Also my niece Sue is flying in Friday night. Haven't seen her for years. It wasn't very hot today, but the wind blew hard in the evening. That's pretty much the news for today.
