... more hummingbirds

We have some more hummingbirds, this time outside our kitchen window. These silly hummingbirds build their tiny little nest on top of one of my wind chimes.

Memory Loss

Recently, Jerry and I are noticing that Jerry is having trouble with his "short term" memory. It's very frustrating for both of us, because Jerry has a hard time remembering simple things. For example: Last weekend we received a telephone call and Jerry asked me who was on the telephone and I told him. Then the phone range again, and the call was a friend of Jerry's from Kansas calling. Jerry talked with him awhile. After Jerry hung the phone up a short time later, Jerry asked me who was on the phone. Once I reminded him than he remembered. Now I know as we age we do begin to notice our memories failing as we get older. But, recently Jerry and I have noticed his difficulty with his "short term" memory. We are contributing it partly to the various medications that he is taking on top of ... getting older.

Oncology Appointment - three (3) days after

... well I spoke too soon. Usually, Jerry starts feeling poorly the next day or the day after. Unfortunately, Jerry thought he would slide by with minimal discomfort. However, it caught up with yesterday and felt really poorly late afternoon into early this morning (Tuesday morning). I haven't talked to him about how he's feeling right now, but he did have a rough day. Hopefully, the worst is over and he'll start feeling better... until his next appointment.

Oncology Appointment - June 8th

Routine appointment last Friday. Jerry did pretty good with minimal discomfort over the week-end. Jerry's PSA continues to rise and he will need to get some additional magnesium in his system. Will be ordering a "special" prescription for this magnesium. Jerry will have another CBC (complete blood count) in another week. Jerry's next appointment is scheduled for the day after we return from our vacation in Coeur d'Alene, ID.

Derrick Family From Hawaii to CA to VA

Jerry and I had such a great time enjoying the Derrick family during their stay in California on their way from Honolulu, HI (8 years) to King George, Virginia. Jerry and I took every opportunity to spend time with our great nephew Justice and great neice Harmony. What a joy it was to have the opportunity to enjoy these wonderful children. We also enjoyed introducing Justice and Harmony to our neighbor kids, Jake and Zack. The kids seemed to have alot of fun with each other.
