Earlier this week I saw my radiation doctor who had ordered the CT Scan earlier because of the two-three week colds I had around the holidays. The CT scan results suggested a PET Scan for something that couldn't be identified in my lower lung. The PET Scan was ordered by my Oncologist for May 6.
My radiation doctor said at that appointment it was time to get my Brain MRI since it's been 6 months since the radiation on the small brain tumor. He also did a lot of testing for my co-ordination. He wrote out the script and his receptionist made an appointment for the Brain MRI on April 23. It's my least favorite test because of all the loud excruciating noises I have to hear for 40 minutes and my head is locked in place. But it's important for us to know if the tumor is gone.
I planned to take a week off from exercise classes, but that week turned into 2 weeks. I was over- tired probably from too much housework (just kidding). I tend to overschedule myself a lot. Now I've had time to sleep longer. Someone told me that the hours of sleep you get before midnight are worth double the hours you sleep after midnight.
I participated in the 9 Hole 2 Day Championship. I had the worst two rounds of golf ever so I didn't need a place for the trophy. The next evening it was Bunco night and we had a great time as always. I'm playing golf more often because who knows how long I'll be free to do it especially when the temperature goes up. We also went to a Co-Ed Bunco party a couple of evenings later and they are especially fun. Guys are so much more into scoring.
Diane and Gary hosted an Easter Brunch at their home. Gary's best friend since 6th grade was in town with his wife and 2 kids and luckily they were able to come. Beau came also and Diane's best friend, Kim, was there. That was so much fun. It was wonderful to see Gary's childhood friends and Beau who doesn't have much time between work, school and working at the theater and Kim who lives far away too. Diane made great food and I handled the Belgian Wafflers.
My middle of the month Bunco group met on the 15th. We had 3 tables since snowbirds are starting to leave and other things are going on too. It was great fun as always.
The Fitness Buddies celebrated Wendy's birthday on Thursday and Pat was the hostess. She made reservations at the Nail Salon for all of us to get pedicures at the same time. Two of the buddies couldn't make it for the nail primping. They both have jobs and couldn't get away earlier. We had a lot of laughs at the salon and even the employees who were working on us were laughing.
The Fitness Buddies were able to be together at the Cheesecake Factory for a nice dinner. Pat ordered some appetizers and we all enjoyed eating a little of this and a little of that. Later we had our entree and Pat surprised all of us by having the staff put together carrot/fudge cheesecake pieces with burning candles and a serenade of "Happy Birthday" from the staff and Wendy's 6 Fitness buddies. The cheesecake was delicious. Wendy was surprised by all the gifts especially the flip flops each of us decorated to remind her of the pedicure birthday party. She'll never run out of footwear. Pat did a fantastic job as hostess. She's raised the bar for all other birthdays.
As the results on the tests come in, I'll let you know on the blog. Love to all my friends and family.
