boxes to the recycle place. It's good to have
them gone. We saved some because we still have
things to pack, mostly books of Robert's, in
Salina. It was amazing because there was no one
there.
Today is Stage 6 of the Pro-champion bike race and
many streets in Boulder are closed. I assume folks
decided this was not the day to go to recycle.
From where we live it was easy and little traffic.
Viki and Ed have been supplying us with fresh eggs.
Viki, with duck eggs and Ed, with colored chicken
eggs. In both cases the yolks are really deep
yellow and taste great. There really is a difference
between "eggs" and really fresh eggs!
Robert was told by his oncologist this week that his
CLL was in remission and that his shingles should
just about be over. Both are good news, but Robert
still doesn't feel good. He feels good in the
morning. By lunch time he is beginning to drag and
has problems eating lunch. After lunch he just wants
to sleep, but the doctor advised against that because
it would make sleeping at night more difficult.
This week he has a CT scan scheduled for Wednesday,
of his torso. The following week he has an X-Ray
of his esophagus scheduled. In both cases trying
to determine why he can't eat. He eats so little it
is no wonder he has no energy!
I have energy, but I'm starting the 10th week of
shingles and the pain is still with me. It is
certainly better than it was a few weeks ago, but
it is difficult. I would say, on the scale of
1 to 10, the constant pain is about a 3, with
occasional sharp spikes of 8 or 9. It's tolerable,
but I'm hoping relief will eventually come.
