Things are going well. Lisa is a bit more grumpy and tired than usual. Doctors attribute that to her meds....they weren't sure what to say about me being grumpy and tired; it appears to be a personality glitch:)
Lisa's office visit went well today. She only had to give two vials of blood. It was such a small amount compared to prior draws, Lisa didn't even get a chance to help out. We seem to have the blood draw down pat. Count "1-2-3", yell "ow", needle goes in, no tears come out, collect tubes of blood, get stickers and suckers.
Doc said she looks good and the scans and biopsy at the end of the month will give us a much better picture. As for the elevated numbers in her urine last month, the doctor said there is a small chance that eating vanilla ice cream could have elevated them. Vanilla ice cream? Really?! We all know Lisa loves to eat and ice cream has become her daily treat (or two). Matter of fact, she's been known to sneak off to our neighbors at the lake and mooch some ice cream only to come home with her face covered and tell us "nooooo....I didn't have ice cream". Lisa doesn't count it as ice cream if it comes on a stick, only if it comes in a bowl.
I'm hoping she was eating lots of vanilla ice cream before that test a few weeks ago. To my knowledge, it's been mostly chocolate ice cream this week, so hopefully the results from today's urine will come back okay.
So, that's it for now. Life goes on, but it will be with chocolate, not vanilla, ice cream.

I'm so happy for you all! And, yes, chocolate ice cream is "the" ultimate in ice cream anyway ;).
As for grumpiness, I don't know about others but I attribute it to the mid-summer slump--that time in the season where you realize summer is half over and wasn't it just beginning and where did all the time go and it will be gone before you know it until finally I say, "okay, I'm gonna relax now and enjoy the rest of the summer ;)"
Love to you all,
Pam
