Jeanne,
We're expecting snow again tonight, our third storm this week. My pantry is
stocked up now! The funny thing is though, the more food I have in the
house, the faster the kids eat it. I can't win!
That is great that the PET scan is free and that your doctor is being so
co-operative. Have you checked into the expense of flying out here? It's
not cheap! I actually had a CA-125 test in November. Mine was 10. I was
very surprised though to receive a bill for it the other day. It was only
$25.00 but it is the first thing I have ever had to pay for.
Glad to hear you had a nice Christmas. Hopefully, you will be able to go
snowshoeing before the winter is over. The kids were doing it at school
this week. I would love to get a few pairs.
How nice that your Mom met a new friend. I'm not surprised there were so
few people at a non-smoking bingo. The Lion's Club has bingo every Monday
night and the hall is a haze of smoke. Sure, I know where Cumberland House
is, you told us it is in Saskatchewan. LOL. That's all I know. Is it a
senior's or native residence?
Keep me posted about your PET scan and will talk with you soon.
Christine
