Had a CT scan "with contrast" on Monday. The "contrast" goes in with a really big needle. In fact, the nurse doesn't say, "little stick now"; she says "big stick"! Will get the results on Tuesday, with Dr Gordon.
And the results are . . . lookin' good. Dr Gordon says I'm recovering well. Port looks good, still; feeding tube looks good, still. I see the ENT tomorrow, and will get his take on how things are going.
Meanwhile, I've worked both Monday and Tuesday.
The visit with the ENT went well. I have two small lymph nodes which may have to be removed surgically, if they don't disappear on their own. Other than that, things look good!
How 'bout them Cubs? I went to bed before the game was over, but woke to find out they had triumphed over the Nationals in NLDS game 5! That's pretty cool! I don't know how they'll do against Los Angeles, but they have sure shown us how to fight through obstacles this year, including being down 4-1 in that final game. Third straight year for the NLCS, too, which they have never done. I'll try to watch a game or two of the LA series, but make no promises that I won't fall asleep before they're done.
I see that the Trib picks the Dodgers in five . . . perhaps, but that's why they play the games!
But here it is Sunday night, and the Cubs are down 0-2. They turned a close 1-1 game into a 4-1 loss last night, in the 9th inning. Too bad.
At least the Bears won, even if in overtime . . . and Aaron Rodgers got hurt, so it looks like either Minnesota or Detroit is going to take the division this year.
So what else happened this week? I worked a full week, and felt pretty good doing so. Went out for lunch with my boss on Thursday, and went in on Friday, as well, to do some production turnover with one of our contractors.
Tim and Kate came over for dinner Saturday afternoon. We had a nice visit.
Tim and Andy helped me demolish the shed Sunday! It was a big job, and I have to say that I did little of the work. Both of the boys really took care of things for me. Now I just have to arrange to have the carcass removed from the back yard.
Nancy and I picked up Kerry and Luke from the airport Sunday, with them having come home from their honeymoon in Hawaii. We brought Luke's car out to them, so they would be able to drive straight home without coming out to our house, with Nancy driving my car there, as well, so we could head directly home, too. And so Bailey the dog ended her week with us, going home with mom and dad.
So there we go. A productive week, for the most part. I'm afraid that I'll be writing about the end of the Cubs season this week, but they've had a good one, no matter how it ends. Looking forward, I have no doctor appointments for a while, and will work a full week, too.
I don't have any new YouTube music to post, so I'm going to let this blog go without. Enjoy some of the music below!
