Hey all, Dallas here again.
I just wanted to let everyone know that today was a busy and good day.
Still no news yet on the further scans (it wasn't that good a day) but it was a day with several positive things, which we will take whenever we can. Pam has been able to cut back on some of her meds which seems to be helping build her strength.
We took Gillespie to the vet this morning for her checkup which went very well, aside from her puking in the car a bit on the way home (typical Gillespie car sickness). She has had a chronic thyroid condition for a few months that she has been taking medicine for, and the checkup today was good on that score, she hadn't lost any more weight, and her pulse rate and blood pressure were good. (As an aside, they actually put a tiny cuff on G's arm to check her BP, which was pretty cute).
Pam sat outside with the cats for awhile before lunch. It was a hot day here today (first day of summer!)
This afternoon we went to an eye appointment for Pam, she had an eye exam (for free it turns out) and got a new prescription for reading glasses, and picked out a cute pair. They will be done by the weekend so she'll actually be able to read again which should help pass the time. It was a beautiful hot summer day and Pam was feeling pretty well, so I skived off work for an hour and we went for ice cream at Sargent Sundae. That was really nice. I made up for it by working until 7pm, in case any GWL people are reading this ;-)
Tonight we had salads with fresh strawberries for dinner, and shared a huge burger from the barbecue. Watched a movie. It was a good day. Like I said, we will take these wherever we can.

ReplyDeletethis excellent trick to make it seem like you were at work.
That sounds very nice!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very nice day.

ReplyDeleteHi Pam and Dallas:
ReplyDeleteI finally had a chance to read this week's blog update. Although I am a day or two late, know that you guys are never out of our thoughts.
We continue to send you our love.
Joyce and John
Hey, Pam and Dal! Angela here - Brad and Ronan and Colin (yes even the 9 month old) are in the family room watching cartoons on this unbearably hot day here in Onterrible. Hard to believe it was 14 years ago that you packed up and moved back West. Glad to hear Pam is getting in some quality sunshine with the kittens - cats are so good for the soul (when they're not carsick, poor Gillespie). Things around here are pretty much the same as always, though the family is relieved that we finally found the remote so that the cartoons (see above) are possible again- one of us (not saying who) left it in the fridge. :)
