Random Notes from the Sandwich Life....and oh yeah....UNDETECTABLE!

1.  Our oncologist is very kind and gives us the test results as soon as he walks in the room.  Undetectable!  Let's all do the undetectable dance!  He got his infusion and then his injection and then I took him home to hang out with two sick boys.  Oh well....can't have everything.  A very big relief though.  Woo-hooooo!

2.  Ran into a friend who's not really a friend but I think ought to be a friend (if you know what I mean) in the chemo waiting room.  Odd when your social life begins happening in the Cancer Center but it was a nice treat just the same.

3.  I'm surprised my husband doesn't want to kill me sometimes.  Well, I take that back....I KNOW he wants to kill me sometimes but I'm surprised he never moves ahead with the plan.  As I was convincing him that he HAD to cut my hair right now, this morning, I-can't-take-how-long-it-is-one-more-minute.....he was trying to tell me something and I stopped him and said, "oh, are you telling me about a tv show?  I hate it when people tell me about tv shows...if I want to know what happens on a tv show I'll watch it myself."  Then I felt guilty and tried to get him to tell me but he wouldn't.  Then I told him he cut my hair too short.  But I swear he loves me.

4.  The other day when Owen and I went out to breakfast, in the middle of a bit of pancakes, he said, "I wonder how David is?"  I puzzled for a moment and said, "you mean our neighbor Dave?"  And he replied, "NO, David OLNEY."  Actually I think he said David ONLY but I figured it out.  When I looked a bit confused he went on to say, "remember?  about his heart attack?  I wonder how he is.  I think he's got a strong heart though Mom and that he'll be o.k.  Oh, and remember when he thanked us for the party on the computer?  I think he likes us Mom."  I told him that indeed David Olney was a very kind man and that I thought his heart would be fine.  Then he changed the subject and told me secrets I can't reveal about who has a crush on whom at school.  Conversations with Owen....very, very interesting.

5.  Thanks for the kind words and thoughts about Judi everyone.  I'm glad to have yesterday over, I must admit.

I'm looking ahead, looking ahead.....
