Sunday, Jan 26th, 2020……
Another light day. I had some more stuff to bring in from the motorhome
and I got that done this morning. Sis was coming back today but her flight is
so late she will just go home and sleep and then and come back in the morning
to get Quincy. The weather here is rain, rain, rain. Nothing heavy – just
drizzles and sprinkles – but it is off and on so we are still pretty soggy
here. I brought in the electrical cord from the motorhome plus the extra that I
needed to put a plug on. I spent some time researching the wiring pattern that
these plugs are supposed to follow. Turns out there are two different ways to
wire the different color wires. I had to take apart the old one to see which
one was used and wired the new one to that. The old one then went into the trash.
No worries – I found a deal on one from Amazon and placed that order. It will
be here next week. I forgot to get something out for dinner so I went to Taco
Bell and got us dinner. Lydia has been trying to get all of her shows watched
on each of her tvs and moved from one room to the other to get started. I
watched the pro bowl plus some races I had taped. We went to bed early but I
had a hard time sleeping so I went back to the tv for a couple more hours. Once
I came to bed, I slept well. Quincy has found out that it is quiet and warm in
our closet so I put her blanket in there. And that is good because she is out
of our path to the bathroom in the dark!
Monday, Jan 27th, 2020…… I was up early and had the dogs walked and fed
and had time to go get breakfast. This morning Lydia needed to go do labs. We
timed it so she could also catch her dermatologist appointment right after
that. The appointment went quickly but the doctor was backed up so we sat in
the waiting room for a bit. After that, I got us home and Lydia got her foot
up. She couldn’t eat before labs, so I fixed her an early lunch. Sis came by
after that and we visited for a bit. She took Quincy and went home and I went out
for a few more hours of Mecum Auctions in the motorhome. I think Lydia needs to
remind me in the morning to get something out for dinner because I didn’t today
– so I went off to Sum Yan for Chinese take-out. It was pretty good. We settled
in and watched tv until bedtime.
Tuesday, Jan 28th, 2020…… Today was not a good day. It
started off way early (we left the house at 6:00am) because we had a change in
the ortho appointment due to the doctor’s surgery schedule. Once we got into
the room and the doctor came in, he gave us the news. She has diffused large
B-cell lymphoma. Cancer. Not what we wanted to hear. It is treatable with
70-80% success ratio. Even thou this is coming from a non-oncologist, we choose
to take it as better news. He will be handing her off to oncology. Next steps
are wound care for the edema on her heel. They need to make sure it doesn’t become
infected, which will not be good for her system. Following that, she will be referred
to an oncologist for treatment, most likely chemo. Needless to say, she (actually
both of us) is having a hard time with this right now. I know she will start to
take things in stride – which is what she always does, God bless her - in time.
Please give her some time to process all of this before you reach out to her.
Thanks.
