Today was a small step on the road to recovery. Sam and I went out for about a half hour to shop for a few things for Sam. As we were driving along, we tried to remember the last time that Sam was out of the house for something other than a doctor visit or test, treatment, etc. To the best of our recollection, it was August 9th for a family reunion. Wow, how time flies when you’re having fun.
Ironically, both Sam and I had some retail therapy this weekend. On Saturday, I stopped by the mall and did something I rarely do; I got a "makeup makeover" at the Clinque counter. It's one of those things that makes a woman feel "girly" and pampered. It was fun. Is that pathetic? Probably, but you know what? I don't care because it was a distraction from everything - including this stupid election. Won't we all be glad when that is over?
Even though Sam decided he was up for a little change of scenery, not much else has changed with his condition – at least to the naked eye so to speak. What has changed is that more time has passed and we are 11 days away from the PET/CT Scan. We are in countdown mode.

Yippee!!! I'm so happy for this small but Big step to get your minds off the past months. That is great and know each day will bring more good things. We have Bill's pet scan on Nov. 11 and his surgery is Dec. 11 and that will be a hurdle to cross. So we keep you both in our thoughts and prayers. The Gleason's
What Election?
Um, Maddy, that "cute" "What Election" comment was from me. All of a sudden, I'm anonymous??? Who's running this bizarre blog, must be doctors. LOL. Oh, I crack myself up.
