On the fourth
Thursday of every month the Tuaca group meets for a happy hour. I haven’t made too many of them since last
January but tonight I was there.
Had a reason to be
happy – PET scan results were clean.
There was a sub MM nodule but the doctors agreed that it was most likely
scar tissue as it was not active. Pretty
much this means I’m out of the woods for the near future. Next scheduled check is in three months.
Hearing the words
was a real load off my mind. I was getting a tad bit anxious and the relief was
pure bliss. All this set up the stage
for a celebration this evening.
The happy hour was
interesting, beer still burns but not as bad as a couple of weeks ago. The shot
of Tuaca was unbelievably painful, the burn was liken to eating habanera
peppers, nothing short of pure pain, but thankfully short lived.
So for a 4 hour
happy hour, three beers and one shot, a new record for me for the least amount of alcohol
consumed at happy hour.
It felt good to
get out again, a lot like a normal social function. But I am very much aware of
how lucky I am to have such great friends.
My main chemo buddies, Ron and Laynette were out of town and couldn’t
make it but others were there and I appreciated them for all the support they provided
over the last 90 days.

Thanks to my nieces
and nephews for the fine Hawaiian golf shirt that I wore to the doctors today. The picture does not do this fine shirt justice, I need a new camera.
Quote of the day:
"Aequam
memento rebus in arduis servare mentem."
YAY!!!!!
