Today is Lou's birthday and she has received a lot of cards and emails. Yesterday she completed the last chemo after having a birthday dinner hosted by our son and his family Tuesday night. She is feeling good today. Walked to the Halsell House driveway this morning and has felt good all day. She got two bouquets from Tim's Floral.

NOTE TO WOMEN 19 - 99.
If you have problems with your abdomen hurting that isn't related to normal causes, please ask your doctor to order a CA-125 blood test. This is to ovarian cancer what the PSA test is for prostate cancer in men. Lou was having trouble for over a year and had catscans, X-rays, sonograms, colonoscopy and even a virtual scan and nothing indicated ovarian cancer until the tumor pressed against the colon and caused an emergency trip to the hospital with surgery that found the cancer. Her first CA-125 test was 748. After the surgery. Please have the test before you have such problems.
