Our 5th game of the year is underway. We got off to a great start. Two friends from Tennessee had given me a Relay for Life bracelet which I wore to the game. It contains inspirational words to play by as we enter the latter part of our season. I reflected on them frequently as the game started - BRAVERY - ENDURANCE - HOPE - COURAGE - Words to live by. Thanks Judy & Nellie. You are true friends.
The game started out fine. In fact, I felt so good after ttreatment that I decided to take Pat out to dinner at the Indiana Beach Skyroom, which just opened up for the season. It's a special place for us because we got engaged at the Beach on May 15, 1958 - just a year or two ago - it was at a Harry James and his Big Band concert. We had a great dinner. I think you could say that we threw the "Bomb" on the first play of the game. Those ex LHS football players will be familiar with that play. It was a 70 yard touchdown pass - great blocking line - a good way to start the game. The game is far from over - the 2nd half is always the roughest.
Before the game, we had a metting with Coach. Went well. In two weeks (before next game) Coach wants to do CAT and PET scans and bone marrow biopsy. We are hopeful that they show the cancer is in remission. If they look real good, may not even have to play 6th game. But knowing Coach and how conservative he can be, that can be a long shot. We'll see. He did comment that even if tumors don't show up on scans, there can still be microscopic cells infected that an extra treatment could enhance the total time of remission before a relapse. He's the boss - I've learned to follow his instructions.
Thanks for your notes, cards, and of course prayers. Prayer Does Change Things. Have a great Memorial day weekend.
