The "mouth doctor" was simply amazed at how Dave bounced back...the infection was some "long named thing"....and was type "F"....and we guess type F is a very unusual strain of the infection....who cares as long as it is gone....so a "clean bill of health".....he said again that the hospital is where we would have gone had he known the extent of things and how painful it was.....we are just glad he did it...all was worth it in the end.
Tomorrow Linda sees the Oncologist to start preparations for the next round of infusions....Alimta requires folic acid and B12 prior to and during treatment..so Linda starts on that tomorrow....she will also finalize the treatment schedule...and has a few other questions for the doctor.
Step sister Vicky ("Lil Sis") has lung cancer too.....sadly, she was a smoker....we talked with her today....it has metastasized to the brain and to the liver as well as the lymph system......she seems up beat and ready to face the challenges....the brain surgeon is coming in tonight as that seems to be the number one thing to deal with.....we are committed to be in close support.
Lastly.....we got our "couples" picture from Listening Heart today....who is that old balding geezer kissing my wife??????????

Look at the two of you!!!! Great news, Dave. Linda, wishing you the best on this next round of treatment. I am sure that the Couples workshop was the BEST MEDICINE!

That's a good question. You better not let Dave see this....
I dunno; I think that old geezer's kinda cute. Oops. There goes my invitation to visit in Florida. :D
