Went in for testing

Mom went in for a petscan? today. It took about an hour and a half. She did well. She also has shingles now, which is annoying but not as painful I guess as the last time she had them but they are itching. She isn't getting out as much as I would like, but she seems to feel well.

Friday she did go shopping and bought new sheets and a bedspread to make her room feel more like her own.

She wants to go to the mortuary and pick out her casket and make funeral arrangements tomorrow. She wants graveside services with no viewing. I tried to talk her in to waiting till after her Dr's appointment next Tuesday when she finds out the results of her test. But she just wants to get that over with.

About Blanche

I finally have a blog for mom, but with all the company we have this next week, don't know how much I will be getting on the blog.

We went to the tumor institute in Nampa today for the first time. She really liked her new Doctor, and has agreed to have a pet Scan next Monday, then her next appointment with the doctor will be on the 7th. That way he will be able to pin point exactly where and how far advanced is the cancer.

Frank and Pat Robinson are coming to visit her on the week end of the 4th. She is so excited. They have always been so good to her.

She got an email from her grand daughter in law today and that meant a lot to her also.

We've gone through a lot of boxes and pretty well have her room set up. She enjoys the fireplace a lot.
