Hi all,
We're sitting inside as much as possible. Wind chill factors of -50 don't make you want to stay out for very long. Lew has been shovelling snow the last two days. We got about two inches of snow on Sunday night and the wind howled all day Monday, so it required three rounds of shovelling to keep things clear.
We purchased a treadmill--my combination Christmas/"Anniversary"/Valentine's gift to Lew--and Lew put it all together in the family room. He spent 45 minutes on it this morning. I'll see what I can do tomorrow night. That's the only evening I have free from being at rehearsals for the upcoming church Dinner Theatre.
No call yet for Lew's MRI, so we're waiting to get that over with. Otherwise we're healthy, so that's a good thing.
Certainly wish we were travelling the southern states about now, but I still have to deal with that nasty four-letter word: WORK. With the market going south, it may leave us up North a lot longer than we anticipated.
I have to make something for treats at work tomorrow, so better go turn on the oven.
Love, Phyl

Still Waiting
Hi To All,
Here is the latest news on Lew's health situation
The results of the needle biopsy are not conclusive, but do suggest some form of fibromatosis, which is a non-malignant form of tumour. Two pathologists have examined the biopsy, and have slightly differing opinions, but both lean towards the fibromatosis theory. It appears to be inter-twinned into the muscle tissue, so immediate surgery has been ruled out. My surgeon is scheduling me for a MRI to see if they can make a more definitive diagnosis and then recommend some form of treatment. He will also refer me to the local cancer clinic for a possible program of radiation treatment to shrink the mass. Not likely they will try chemo, just radiation.
Still having trouble sleeping due to the chronic pain in the shoulder/arm area which may not have any connection to the above problem.
That's all for now
Best to all !
