Chemo is wicked, no other way to put it. It appears to me that the big issue this round will be food. Gary has no appetite whatsoever. He is making a valiant effort to eat three meals a day, and we have found (finally) a non-milk based protein powder. He lost ten pounds with last month's treatment and gained back six, so we figured this would happen. Between that, the fatigue, and a dentist's appointment (to remove the stitches) it has not been a banner day.
The rest of the story: In the last month, I have gotten a speeding ticket and a supboena for jury duty. I paid the speeding ticket, and got out of the jury duty with a letter from the oncologist and six calls to/from the judge's office. Yesterday, the sheriff's office called and said the check that i wrote them was not accepted. Turns out that does not mean it bounced. In fact they hadn't even sent it to the bank, but the Telecheck company does not have enough information to okay the check. Go figure! Oh yeah and I broke my glasses.
Are we having fun now?? If so, share some humor!

- You might wonder how I got the nick name Dune. It was given to me by Ryan Andrew my #1 nephew. For some reason he called me Dune and it stuck. It's the name I'm proudest of. Thanks Rye!!
Dune In Better Times
He's a walking contradiction partly truth and partly fiction taking every wrong direction on his lonely way back home!

Here's some humor for ya. I called "T" yesterday to see if he had some boxes at the PX we could use to start packing Ta. He said sure come on. We get there and he sends Tara into the liquor room and said get whatever you want. She comes out with fuzzy navel, margarita, old charter, etc. boxes. We are figuring she may be pretty popular come move in day, just not real sure it will be with the group we were hoping for! She said she may as well go on and wear some short shorts and a belly shirt.
Love ya

Yes, Mr. T did give my bably girl boxes from his liquor room. He said what the hell she is going to LSU you know. I sent the picture out this morning for Uncle Dune and Aunt Robbi to see. Mr Shawn, the Dining Facility Manager, offered food boxes. So with liquor boxes from T and food boxes from Mr. Shawn she will probably be the hit of the dorm. NOT!!!!
We knew he was pretty sick last night because you had not posted anything until after 2000. Called Granny and got update. Gim never has liked milk.
My schedule for next week is to inprocess new cadets on Sunday..Hopefully leave work NLT 2000 hrs. Leave home at 0400 Monday morning enroute to Seattle until 1100 on Wednesday. Leave Seattle at 1400 enroute to Baton Rouge. Get there at 2300 that night. Go to hotel with Vallie and ta.. Get up on Thursday go move her in to dorm.. If Gary can have visitors next Thursday our plan is to come see him. Then back home where cadets are in hard core phase. Will have my cell phone on at all times.
Well I walked into church and didn't get hit by lightening.
Spent two evenings working on moving the cable to a different wall to find out there is a fire block in my way and I don't have a long enough drill bit.
Tara really walked out with a bottle of booze and a bikini.
A preist a preacher and a horse walked into a mosque. Mohomand turned around and said BOOM.

Well, here's the message from a card, where I can see it each day.
"I don't know about if this will help YOU, but, when I'm feeling a little down - - - I go lick the butter and then giggle when I see everyone eating toast!"
Silly humor at best - -
Love and best wishes to all -
