Bad Day

Thanks for checking the blog, and so sorry for not updating it lately. Lots of useless excuses. The main one is that I've been posting most of my news on Facebook this year. I keep trying and failing to remember to put some of it on this blog. Please make the effort to find me on Facebook. I'd love to stay in touch with you there.

Not such great news. Kristan was wound free for several months, but now has two foot wounds, apparently not too serious yet. She was diagnosed with CML (a form of bone cancer) on July 30, but they say they found it early and so it is very treatable. Still, this definitely takes her off the kidney/pancreas transplant list. The dentist told her today that the wound on the back of her tongue may be cancerous. I learned today that our company is dropping Kaiser Permanente from their options for health plans in 2012.

My Sister's been visiting the past Month, and keeping me busy with fun stuff after work. When Bob was here, we went biking three wonderful times, did lots of walks, and went hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. Now that Bob's gone, Mikele's focusing on helping us out by going through our many storage boxes, and consolidating stuff. She's making huge progress. She also keeps me company, on my walks after work. We are so lucky to have her helping out.
