That's another day done with!

I'll get right to it. Everyone is wondering how did mom's appointment go. Laureen and I took mom and dad today. Did some clothes and grocery shopping-imagine clothes shopping with my dad, yeah, not good!-and then we went to the appt this afternoon. Vicky joined us at the hospital.-so good she can get off work there to join us when we need her! So, got called into the office-no weight today-and we met with the oncologist. CT results-the radiation to her mid chest was effective in alleviating some of the tumor pressure on her main airways, so she doesn't cough as much. But, the pleural lining area of cancer has increased. This area did not receive radiation. So, its a go ahead for chemo, probably starting next week. This referral for chemo will be sent to the local hospital-25 minutes away-that has a chemo department. She will be put on a 21 day cycle of chemo with day 1 and 8 receiving treatment and then 14 days off till the next round. They are suggesting 4-6 cycles of chemo. The purpose of chemo is not to take away the cancer, as it is too large, but to alleviate symptoms and give precious time. That's it in a nutshell. don't know what else to add about that subject.
Harvest/farming-Del started combining a few acres of canola last evening. Don't know what time he went out there today, as I was away, but he's out there again. No, its not dry to go into storage so its going into an aeration bin. (a bin that has air forced through the grain to prevent deterioration of quality due to moisture).
Jayde had hockey practice last evening, with tomorrow's workout rescheduled for Saturday morning. The kids will receive their final word on team selection following that skate. Tomorrow, I go back to work on night shift. The days off are over. Also, I plan to drive a dirty vehicle, cuz maybe if I don't wash them, the sun will continue to shine. Do ya' think this will work?? And no laundry on the line to dry! Superstitious or what!
I'm out of words. I'm tired. Shopping with your parents will do that to you, I guess. :-) Have a good sleep everyone.
