GREAT NEWS CA125 IS 8!
Therefore the last chemo was the last and the one scheduled for March 5 has been cancelled. Your prayers have been answered for now and Lou can begin to grow her hair back and resume her activities once this last chemo is out of her body. She continues to take 6gm of ginger each day and I hope that will keep the cancer under control or completely eliminated. Her back is some better today and hopefully the surgery pain will heal and it will get better as the chemo dissapates along with the anesthesia.
She continues to read the novels she is judging and plans to finish her report by the end of the month.
I just completed reading Sandhills Boy: The Winding Trail of a Texas Writer by Elmer Kelton. We live in Callahan county and his grandfather was born here when they were living in a covered wagon. They stopped for a while at Belle Plaine which is a few miles north of our place. They moved on to the Midland area and later to Crane where Elmer's father became the foreman of the McElroy ranch on the Pecos river. When the ranch sold to French investors Elmer's father lived in town for a while but was miserable and found a small ranch near May, TX which is about 25 miles SE of us in Eastland County. I really enjoyed Elmer's description of his time in WWII in Austria where he met and courted Ann and the problems of bringing her from the mountains to the sandhills of West Texas. I don't know how she stood the change. She must have really loved Elmer to put up with the desert after living in the Alps. Ebensee Austria sounded like heaven. Elmer will be in Cross Plains to help us raise funds to run our Library on February 18. We have really enjoyed knowing both Elmer and Ann for many years. We first met him at the Texas Folklore Society meetings. He used a lot of the folklore stories in his books.
I am now reading a book that son Mark gave me for Christmas by Henry Petroski
Success through Failure: The Paradox of Design by Henry Petroski (Paperback - Feb 21, 2008) The book takes simple things like the water glass and discusses the limitations on the design that come from the user and the manufacturer. I am a few chapters into it.
