Windy today

Today is very windy and warm, in the 60s. The creek is
finally running enough for a steady stream to come into the
pool. It's not a very heavy stream, but it is more than a
trickle. The water level has dropped about a foot since
water has stopped coming in. Between evaporation and leaks
we have lost a lot. The ice would form on the water and
then the water level would drop and with a loud crack the
ice would crack and some of it drop to a lower level. I can
see the fish through the opening in the ice. They seem to
be doing OK. Probably think it's spring now that the ice is
melting.

This morning I took Julie Luckey to Community Hospital at
Arapahoe and Foothills Highway. She was to have biopsies of
both breasts. Fortunately, it turned out that she only had
a cyst filled with fluid on one side, so that is good.
She'll hear tomorrow the results of the biopsy. I got her
home about 11:45 AM and helped her into the house. She was
going to lie down and watch TV and/or read and nap. She'll
call if she needs anything.

Susan called and I'm to pick her up on Thursday at the
Lutheran Hospital in Wheat Ridge at 9 AM. We then will pick
up some breakfast for her and go on to Dr. Caskey's office
where she is to undergo 5 hours of chemo. YUK! I'm there
because they won't know how well she tolerates the drugs
this first time. I hope she does OK! Her HER2+ cancer is
supposedly really aggressive which is why she is getting so
much medication. They've told her to get a "Hard as Nails"
to use on her nails because they may split, crack or lift.
She also has to take steroids twice a day the day before, of
and after the chemo. She also must rinse her mouth after
each meal with salt water to try to prevent mouth sores.
And on top of that she'll lose all her body hair.

I talk to Jack Wenrich today. He has a terrible cold, but
other than that sounded OK. Katy has had a bad cold so he
probably got it from her. He doesn't need that.

Betty had her cataract surgery yesterday. I called her and
talked with Jack. She was in town with daughter, Janice.
