Nora and Paul left at seven this morning.   It was so good to be able to spend some time with Nora.    It was over 5 years since we saw each other last.

The day was great.    Bill, Leslie and I just hung out and visited.    Bill did go to "his" coin shop and he brought me a present, an American Eagle coin.    I love it.

So a quiet day.  I LOVE having people to talk to.

This will be short because, I am very tired.

Sorry I haven't posted for a couple of days, but on Wednesday, I was cooking all day.    On Thanksgiving, I baked and welcomed my houseguests.

I did tell you that Leslie and Bill and my granddaughter, Nora and her boyfriend, Paul are here for the holiday.    Paul and Nora have to leave tomorrow.    We have had a wonderful visit and catch up time.

All of us went to Adam and Alexia's home for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday.   A feast fit for kings with lots of love and lots of happy thankful people.    Lexie always has everybody say what they are thankful for before we eat on Thanksgiving.  Such a beautiful tradition.

Today, we spent with the "Kunert" family.   Bill and Leslie can stay until Monday.   Yea.

Only one more Chemo.   That will be in three weeks.    Dr. Aye said that there is some chance that I won't need it, but I don't know what that means.   I will see her next week when I have my next blood test.   It is a four hour commitment and the procedure left me so tired today.   At least I didn't have radiation too.

So the rest of the day was very quiet.   I rested the best I could.   

A couple of really special phone calls.

This is a red letter day.     I got to ring the bell at the Cancer Center because I have completed all my radiation treatments.     Boy am I glad.   Now my body can start healing the burned parts and in three to four weeks, I will probably be able to eat without it hurting when I swallow.   

Had my consultation with the nurse with instructions for the next four weeks.   I will see Dr. Smith in four weeks.   Hopefully for a clean bill of health.  Don't need to do anything else or have any tests in between but need to call if something odd happens.

Tomorrow I see Dr. Aye and have my fifth Chemo.   Then there should be one more of them in three weeks.   I will find out tomorrow more details on that.

I had to take Nicky to the vet today.   He has developed a rash in his groin area again.   I took him on my way to radiation and they called me to pick him up (after shots, bath and etc) at one o Clock.   I am not sure if he has forgiven me yet.    He sure smells good and had medication for his allergies. 

Talked to Eileen today.   She is doing Thanksgiving.  She said she always does and likes it.   Probably like Mom did for many years.

It was a chilly day but the wind has died down a lot so with the sunshine, it was not unpleasant.
