The Greats

 One guess where the Great Grandchildren are this week.

Looks like they are having fun.


Hey Mikey
And eating well too!

We had a quiet day at home.  I did some laundry and cleaned the bathroom for excitement.

Jen made egg bake and pineapple for supper.  It was delicious. 

Years ago when Far Guy was stationed at MacDill AFB in Florida we visited Walt Disney World several times...it opened in 1971 and we were stationed at MacDill in 1973 and 1974.

Frosty

 It was a frosty, gloomy day.


Far Guy had a check up with his eye doctor and everything looks great after his cataract surgery. Next week he has the other eye done. 

Minnesota weather: High 22F or -6C low was 18F or -8C eh! We are supposed to be in the 40's F by the weekend. 

Andy made supper...ribs, potato crowns and corn. 

Wednesday is our day off this week with no medical appointments. 2 appointments out of 19 completed this month.

Fantastic News!!

 How about a little good news! 

Far Guy has two nodules inside his Thyroid Gland. They were first discovered when they lit up last August on a Pet Scan.  He had one biopsy in September that didn't tell anything useful because that Surgeon was an idiot.  He had more biopsies on February 9th. One nodule we knew was benign and the other biopsy was sent off for genetic testing and the results are back...BENIGN!!!

So the Doctors three will all have opinions...the Endocrinologist, the ENT Surgeon and the Cancer Doctor.  The Endocrinologist thinks it is reasonable to have the surgery (to remove half of the thyroid) and it is also reasonable to monitor the nodule for change....so she is not that much help with the decision.  The other Doctors will be seen in March. 

The good news is that it is not cancer!  If he has part of his thyroid removed he will not have to have further treatment.
