Snippet of News

Wow! Very impressed by the number of friends who answered the call to make the Guestbook hit the 100 mark! Thanks everyone and keep your entries coming. They are your Happy Thoughts in print. Dave and Kathy like reading them. Well, there is not much new news to report on Dave's condition other than the Docs continue to be very pleased with his progress. He still experiences back pain which puts him down for a few hours, but he is learning to listen to his body and take the break. Kathy's Mom has recuperated nicely. She is doing alot better, but her sister, Lynn, was sick and still no diagnosis. So we should keep her in our thoughts. Hopefully, it is just a passing thing. If I hear anything, I will let you know.
So, life at 2 Flying Rock Road has changed, and changed again. A bit more normalcy has returned to the happiness of the occupants.
Bye for now,
No slacking on the Happy Thoughts, if Dave doesn't happen to need them, someone can use them.

Good News

Well, here it is. For the last few weeks Dave has been having some trouble with back pain. Indicative of exactly a year ago and scaring the beejezes out of him and Kathy. So they called the Doc and asked to move up the tests that they were planning to take anyway. Last Saturday he went in for an MRI, blood work and urine testing. And it is all great news. He has not had any additional compression fractures, no additional tumors, and no increase in the Myeloma. He really couldn't be at a better place, considering the circumstances. So, he has now decided that his pain must be caused by overdoing, which is typical. And what he is doing to combat the pain is to do whatever he is doing, at smaller intervals and resting in between. Hopefully, this will help him with the pain. He's feeling pretty good otherwise.
Hope you all enjoyed the "Love' holiday.
Happy Thoughts got him this far.
