RAIN AND CHEMO UPDATE
Wednesday we drove to Fort Worth for Lou's second round of Doxil infusion. Our son and daughter-in-law were very helpful. Mary Kathryn was there when we arrived and listened to Dr. Hancock's diagnosis. He said he was cutting back on the dose because it is cumulative and didn't want Lou to have problems with it. He said her blood tests on white and red cells and hemoglobin were fine and the CA 125 would be back Friday. He also authorized Flu and Pneumonia shots for Lou. After they started the infusion took a little over an hour. Mark and MK brought us food for lunch. Mark had an important meeting at Lockheed and couldn't stay, but Mary Kathryn visited with Lou while I read Bill Neal's book on getting away with murder on the Texas frontier. He will be the Meet The Author speaker for the Library Oct. 23 and I hadn't read the book. He is from Abilene and practised law for over 30 years spending half time on prosecution and the other half defending. He had heard stories of the early day trials and decided to write a book about them researchine court records and interviewing surviving relatives of the principals. He has a lot of interesting stories about colorful characters that populated the early justice system in West Texas.
Oh yes, the rain. This morning I walked my two miles and saw lightening in the north in a black cloud. After I got back and we started eating breakfast the storm moved in, rained about 1/2" and was over when I went to get the mail at 9:30. It was cloudy and even sprinkled a little more until noon, but has cleared off and is sunny now. The meteorologists totally missed predicting the precip.
