I'm back!

It's been a busy two weeks since I last posted.

I did make it to art club on the 20th. We set the dates for our workshop. We'll meet at the Clyde Christian Church on June 17, 18, and 19 to paint, paint, paint! At  least that was the plan.

Dennis went to Manhattan on the 23rd to see his neurologist. They won't do anything with his back until he is done with his cancer. And who knows how long that will be! So he is scheduled for another consult in a couple of months, I think. 

For the next few weeks, I will be the patient. I saw Dr. Kueker in Concordia on the 27th, and he wants me to see a retinologist in Salina soon.

Dennis went to Topeka on the 28th to see his VA dentist and eye doctor. He ordered some Transitions glasses (extra dark). 

Becky has been hounding me like a bulldog to get the results of my skin cancer lesion on my face. I tried multiple times to call Heartland Dermatology in Manhattan,and kept playing phone tag and getting the run around. I even tried going through my "Patient Portal" and got nowhere. So I told Becky, if she was worried about it, she should get on the horn herself.  Well, Becky took me at my word and within a few minutes, I had a consult with Dr. Purdom yesterday at 4 p.m. This was at 1:30 p.m., so we freshened up a bit and off to Manha. ttan we went.

I was delighted with the speed of that appointment. I did a pre-appointment check-in on my phone, so when we got there, I was almost done and ready to be seen. Within ten minutes I was in the exam room and about 5 minutes later, Dr. Purdom was in there. He looked at my sore, and asked a couple of questions, then said he wanted to take it off on June 16 at the Manhattan Surgical Center under general anesthesia. Was Becky glad to hear that!

Today, we just took it easy. Jason got home from trucking and spent the day lazing around.

Tomorrow I have an appointment in Clay Center with Holly Brannon for my heart. That shouldn't take too long.

Friday I have to go to Salina to see another doctor. I cant' even remember who or what the doctor is. It gets really confusing with all the appointments with specialists and different diagnoses to deal with.

Becky and Rusty are leaving for Costa Rica on Saturday morning and will be gone until the next weekend. Dennis has doggy chores.

On the 11th, Dennis sees his urologist. They'll do another cystoscope and hopefully will know if his cancer is done or just take on another tangent of treatments.

We have some birthdays this month too. We'll celebrate most of them on Saturday, the 14th. Becky is reserving the Village Green downtown for a BBQ and games. I think Becky is wanting to give up the parties at home. Too much work. I completely understand and think she should have done it long ago.

Well, hopefully, everything will go ok for the rest of the month. all though the workshop in the middle of the month already going to be messed up with my surgery.
