Exhale...

We got up this morning and left the house in the snowstorm at 8:30 for a 10:00 appointment with Dr. Urban.  It is usually a 40 minute drive (or less), but this morning it took us an hour and 15 minutes to get there.  (By the way, Whitley County and Columbia City do a much better job of plowing than Allen County and Fort Wayne...just sayin')

As soon as we got out of the car, we heard a loud beeping coming from everywhere in the parking garage.  As we approached the door to enter the building, people started coming out.  One woman, who obviously works there, said "We have to stay out here.  That is the fire alarm"

So we got back in the car a hoped the building would not burn down.  It didn't.  We went in within 10 minutes and since the weather is so bad and some people couldn't make it for their appointments, we went right back to see the doctor. 

And the results of the PSA blood test...which everyone has been waiting to hear...the PSA is undetectable.  (That is the perfect result in case you are wondering)

So this will be my last post for a while.  He does not have to go back until September which is when I will post again.  He will have another PSA test before that appointment and hopefully it will still be undetectable.  The PSA is the indicator now to show that he is cancer free.

Thanks again to everyone for all your support and prayers through the last couple of months.

Waiting...waiting...waiting

As many of you saw, Geoff went to Terre Haute over the weekend for the girls basketball state finals.  He said that went well, but he was pretty tired at the end of the day. 

He is also pretty much back to work.  He goes in every day and stays until he gets tired.  Yesterday he was there until about 1:30 and is up and around now (6:57am) and getting ready to go in.  Things are getting back to normal.

And now the waiting...yesterday he went in for his post-op PSA blood test.  (He says it is the best blood test he has had because he didn't even feel it!  Good job Mrs. Perez)  Tomorrow is the BIG day...he has an appointment with Dr. Urban at 10am.  He will find out if the PSA number has fallen.  It doesn't matter if it is zero yet (but that would be nice) as long as there is a downward trend.

I will post the results of the visit tomorrow. 

Getting Up and Around

This has been a pretty good week.  Geoff has gotten a lot of work done at home so he has been keeping busy.  He has also stepped up his activity a little.  He is up walking around the house for 10-15 minutes every hour.

Wednesday, Jennifer (CCHS principal) and Lyle (CCHS assistant principal) came over for lunch and had a little meeting about boys sectional and some other important topics.  I think he was glad to see someone besides me for a little while.

He accomplished his goal of going to the last home boys basketball game on Friday night.  I came home and picked him up to get him there in time for the varsity game.  We lost:-(  Thanks to Lyle for making sure he had a soft chair to sit in for the game.  Thanks also to all those who came over to visit at the game.  And to the cheer block for recognizing his presence at the game.

Today, we spent about two hours walking around the Home and Garden Show at the Coliseum...then he came home and took a nap.  And he RARELY takes a nap.  He says to his good buddy Tony (who loves to take naps) that maybe it is a practice he should take up.

The plan right now is to go to work on Monday for a couple of hours.  If that goes well, he will gradually increase his hours till he is back full time.
