CHANGE-UP..... 

Today was Clinic day but we had a change in plans. Rocky wanted to cancel next week because he is competing in a Powerlifting Meet March 2nd. He needed the time off to be in top condition. Dr. Morgan decided it would be a good time to have Rocky do another CT which would free him up from the chemo treatment today and next Wednesday, giving the doctors time to think about the next approach.

We are lined up for the CT next Wednesday and will have pre-preps done so it will speed up the procedure. Always a good thing. They really take care of a lot of unnecessary waiting time for the patient which is very much appreciated. So Rocky is feeling better each day and everyone at the Clinic is waiting for the results of his Power Meet…….hopefully will be able to do much better without the debilitating effects of the chemo.

We are having weather in the high 60’s since George, John and Barb left. We really had some rotten weather when they were here but other than them not getting to see much of Napoleon, it didn’t dampen our spirits.

I will be going with Rocky to the Meet in Mexico, MO so I’m looking forward to him breaking his own record. He has recently been written up in another Power Magazine by his coach which was very humbling……but the affection shown by his teammates and coach is really special. They are a great bunch of guys and proud of Rocky’s participation where he stands alone in his age bracket.

Just remember: “The man at the top of the mountain didn’t fall there!!”

Until tomorrow, I am,
