Quick Update

There's not really anything to update as far as my treatment is going. I'm basically in a holding pattern till next Monday when I go in for the CT scans. Hopefully everything will be clear and I'll be able to get going on the radiation therapy. I'm trying not to think too much about that because I know it's going to be a tougher battle than I've experienced so far.
My tastes buds are just about back to normal and most foods taste as they should. I'm really not having or experiencing anymore side effects except that my hair is still out of whack. I haven't shaved in over a month and I barely have any whiskers at all. I have a little stubble on my head but not much at all. I think Marjie shaved my head about a month ago and it's probably been at least 6 weeks since I shaved my face, now that I think about it. Oh well, it'll grow back someday.
Things are getting boring around here. I can't wait to get healed up so I can begin looking for work again.
David received a letter the other day accepting him to Auburn University. He's so excited. Were hoping he starts getting other letters of acceptance to the colleges he's applied for. I'd much rather have him attend a college in Virginia and pay the in state tuition rather than paying the out of state fees, but we'll just have to wait and see. He's also applied for the NROTC program, and we should hear one way or the other on that in the next few weeks.
Coho is having some issues. He started limping last week for no reason. I finally after a few days of this took him to the vet. As I suspected, they couldn't figure out what was wrong and after taking some xrays, said it might me a compressed disk in his back or something like that. Anyway, they weren't sure and ended up giving him a steroid shot and prescribing some steroids to take for the next couple weeks. The next day he seemed good to go, but in the last couple days, he looks to me like he's in a lot of pain, and is having trouble holding his head up. I don't know what's wrong and will more than likely have to take him back to the vet and possibly take him to some kind of specialist $$$$$. What can you do? He's my little buddy...I gotta take care of him.
Other than that, things are going ok I guess. I'll update this in a few days.
