Today was a busy day.  I had my appt. with Dr. Orell, my oncologist.  He took everything I said seriously.  He asked that I contact Dr. Aranow, the doc who did my lap band and have him see me and assess what is going on with my throwing up and my acid reflux by Friday.  This is to make sure the cancer hasn't spread to my esophogus.  I called and talked to Dr. Aranow and he is going to see me at 1:15 p.m. tomorrow.  He said he now has a Fleuroscope in his office and someone cancelled their appt.  He will check my band and probably take some saline solution out to loosen it up.  He will also check my stomach to make sure it is expanding correctly.  And he'll be able to see how things are with my esophogus.  Then we'll see if the band being too tight is causing this problem.  I also talked to the oncologist about my being off of chemo too long.  He said he will definitely think about starting me on chemo before the cardio results are back.  He understands my concerns about the cancer getting a foothold.
Then at 3:30 p.m. Julies came.  We got a lot more stuff straightened out in the office.
Joan came and picked me up at 5:30 p.m. to go to the Newtown Panera Bread.  I had soup and 1/2 a sandwich with Leslie, Wendi, Joan, Jane, Sherry, Mom, Aunt Carol and Aunt Hazel.  We had a great time chatting and catching up.  I actually managed to keep all my food down.  I ate the soup and the chicken salad out of the sandwich.  Tomorrow I can't eat or drink until after my fleuroscope at 1:15.  I'm going to be mighty hungry by then.
Leslie made a wonderful offer to have her boys come over and help move furniture for me when I'm ready to switch the office and the guest room around.  That is such a relief for me.  That will probably be in about two weeks.
My friend Linda tried to come and help take some things to My Sister's Place but she missed me.  She left a book on the porch so that's how I know she was there.  I got home about 3:15 and she had already come and gone.  I thought she was coming at 4:00 p.m.  I guess she'll catch me another day.
God bless my family and friends.
