BATS MUST BE GOOD LUCK
We will never have a more perfect trip to Fort Worth than the one we had today. Up at 4:45 we ate cereal and left at 6:15. Made our usual pit stop at the Exxon in Weatherford without any traffic slowdown. Got to Harris Methodist with no traffic slowdowns on I-30. Parked for the first time with the valet parking after seeing that it was $5 which is what we paid for garage parking. The stop was just outside the doctor's office so we were in the office after Lou's bathroom stop at 8:45 and immediately called in to meet with the PA. He answered Lou's questions and put a small bandaid on one incision. We scheduled another followup meeting in six weeks with Dr. Siadati. And were back down to get the car and out to the street by 9:15 with no traffic all the way to I-30 and none there to speak of. We got to the China Cafe in Eastland at 10:30 and were the first to eat fresh and tasty food. I had a cup of Hot and Sour and Lou a cup of Egg Drop soup to start, then an egg roll each before we both had a plate with small portions of egg foo yung, baked salmon, chicken dishes, etc. A couple of small dishes of ice cream and a cookie for dessert.

We were home at 12:30 and I got the laundry started. After I put the first load in the dryer I got a nap, then to town to pick up books to review at the Library where they said they already have 145 signed up for Elmer Kelton with 3 more days before the deadline to sign up. I bought groceries, got home and finished the laundry. Lou wanted a scrambled egg and toast for supper. I am a pretty good short order cook and fixed an ideal plate. I am glad that her appetite is a little better today. Yesterday she ate very small portions of almost nothing. Every day after the chemo things get a little better. The back pain is being controlled a little better. The PA said that walking is the best exercise and Lou is looking forward to getting some energy back and starting walking by next week. She has a lot of meetings coming up and wants to get back in shape. She plans to finish her judging report this week, write the paper she has committed for at West Texas Historical Society meeting and then get back to her memoir book project. All things in due time.

Prayers must be working!
