Monday the 17th, Ted got a CT scan of his lungs recorded on a disk to take to the pulmonary clinic in Indianapolis.
Then we went to the cardiologist the very next day. Ted received a good report. The dr did raise one med. ,another follow up in March.
Thursday, I got my taxes done...big happy smile, I get 21 dollars back from the state. I would celebrate but want to save that. Oh wait that didn't even pay for the tax lady.
On this past Monday is when Ted saw the pulmonary doctor. She did not see anything out of the ordinary with Ted's lungs, from the CT scan disk. They did a stress test and said he did not need to be on oxygen. That was a big happy moment for Ted. (and me) But the dr ordered an allergy panel . I ask that she have it done at the Franciscan hospital while we are there in a couple weeks. Why should we run all over the state for the drs?
On Tuesday, I saw my dentist. Had a cleaning and that sharp sticking to measure around my gums. Yikes. But I got a good report and was very happy.
In between all these drs. and hospital visits...we go to the grocery, hardware, and $ store. Sometimes just to get out of the house. Always wearing our face masks , use sanitizers in the car and wash our hands as soon as we get home.
Ready for some warm weather and flowers. Hope all of you are safe. XO
Thanks for the up date. I am glad Ted is off the oxygen. I know that must be an irritant on moving around. Take care and hope SPRING jumps on y'all very soon. (here too!)
ReplyDeleteLove from NC
Hi, Thanks for those spring wishes. LOL. I think you had some nasty weather this year also. Ted was never on oxygen and sure did not want to be. I think of the people who are and I pray for them. Stay strong and healthy there. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI AM SO GLAD THAT SPRING AND MORE DAYLIGHT IS COMING SOON. YOU HAVE HAD A LOT OF APPOINTMENTS TO DRIVE TO. I AM GLAD TED DOESN'T NEED OXYGEN NOW. HOPE MARCH WEATHER IS MILD AND ROADS ARE CLEAR FOR YOU. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH.
ReplyDeleteHI KAREN, I AM READY FOR AN EARLY SPRING. LOL. WE SHALL SEE. MY TEDDY HAS NEVER BEEN ON OXYGEN AND WE SURE DID NOT WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. WE HAVE ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH. I THANK OUR LORD EVERY TIME WE HAVE TO GO SOME WHERE AND THE ROADS ARE GOOD. GOD KNOWS WE NEED HIM WITH US EVERYDAY, ME ESPECIALLY WHEN WE TRAVEL. I JUST AM A NERVOUS MESS. ENJOY THE SUNSHINE. BLESSINGS TO YOU SWEET FRIEND, LOVE, XOXO, SUSIE
DeleteSo happy to hear of good reports for Ted! I fear Spring is still a ways away for us here, but hopefully soon for you. -Jenn
ReplyDeleteJenn, I do not know how anyone can take such long winters. You are hardy people. i think of you with your children going to college...I know you must worry about road conditions. All of you are in my prayers. Oh yes, Jenn, we are so thankful for every good report we can get. Blessings to you young lady, xoxo, Susie
DeleteExciting days! 😏 Sounds somewhat like my own right down to the weather report. Yay for good reports and yay for no need of oxygen! That is very good news indeed. Here’s to an early spring. I think you deserve one. 🌷
ReplyDeleteBless your heart Vee, I m hoping we all get a good spring. Have to pray for us all to stay healthy and strong. Hope you are getting loving help with making it to drs. It's hard to ask for help. It's very pretty out today but cold. Tomorrow will be around 58 degrees...wowwee that sounds good. Long ago, I would be raking around in the flowerbeds with those temps. Here's to better days for all of us. Blessings to you honey, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh Susie, your schedule is endless. When you are the caregiver it seems so. Glad to hear good reports on Ted and your dentist too. All good. Nice that Ted won't have to have the oxygen. My dearest, is finally leveling off and we seem to be able to manage the meds and water retention. Daily battles, but with the Lord's help we are winners. Looking forward to putting up my Spring decorations and some flowers. Love and Hugs
ReplyDeleteThank you Wanda, for the prayers and hugs. We neeed them and appreciate them so much. I send them up for you and Don also. Care giving is hard. But who's to do it? Praying God will give us all good health and lots of strength. Blessings to you sweet friend, xoxo,love you, Susie
DeleteLove you, dear Susie
DeleteIt sounds like more good than bad there for you lately. We've had snow and very cold here. Like you 'm looking forward to sunshine and flower. Hope you have a good supply of masks. Some places are having shortages. No winter lasts forever...
ReplyDeleteThank you friend. Yes, every good report is a true blessing. I am so thankful too. Come on springtime and bring us flowers. LOL Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow all that traveling to doctors and such. Hope you are keeping track cause that is a tax deduction, at least in WI. not sure where you live. Glad to hear things are looking up, always good to get a good report from the Dr. Spring will be her in no time. March can be a wild month though, hope not too much snow. Take care and keep looking up. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteThank you Louise. I am thankful for all good reports. I know you feel the same way. Taxes are hard enough without adding up miles...I am not in that good a mindset yet. I should hire an accountant but can't afford one of those brainiacs. LOL. Louise I think of you and pray for you and JP. Bless you both, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad that things are going well, and Ted can get off the oxygen...I know that must make him very happy! Hoping we have an early spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda. Ted never was on oxygen and was grateful to not have to be on it . The lung dr. thought with his shortness of breath at times he might need it. But his report was very good. Oh honey, I am hoping for an early spring for all of us. we need it. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh I misunderstood...so glad he is doing well! xo
DeleteSeems like all good news but lots of miles on the car. The weather has been crazy everywhere!
ReplyDeleteTerri, I had to get a new vehicle to get back and forth to drs. and hospitals. Ted's truck has over 300,000 miles on it...which he is so very proud of. LOL. My Jeep just wasn't as trustworthy as it should be for that much traveling. So not having that worry has helped with my nerves. But not my savings. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad to hear that Ted is continuing to do well and you had a good dental report. I hope spring will come soon and may the roads continue to be clear and safe when you drive to places and back. Keeping you both in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. Everyone's kind prayers and wishes mean the world to me. There are kind loving people who will never know us but truly care. I am hoping for good roads . I want to try to live normally soon. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Delete"Ted received a good report"
ReplyDelete😊
Hot dog girl. Yes, he did. He is not totally his old self , but once the health issues can be smoothed out...maybe we can have our lives back to some normalcy. Bless you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHappy to hear a good update and prayers are still going up. Your weather sounds just like ours. It can't make up it's mind from one day till the next. Take care. Big Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear Susie. I miss you. I miss your stories and poems. I pray for you . Ted is doing a tiny bit better and each step we are grateful for. Hope you are having good days. I know you would love to sit on the porch in a sweet spring breeze...me too honey. Blessings to you,love always, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHasn't the weather been the strangest this year? I am so thankful that Ted's reports came back as good as they did. I am thankful that God is blessing him like this. I hope for many days soon to sit outside and enjoy spring!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol. I think our weather has been crazy for a couple years now. I am so wanting to sit outside and just enjoy the fresh air of spring. It seems forever since the last time. I miss our flowers and the return of the robins. Ted has come a very long way on this journey . We are thankful for each blessing that God has allowed us. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteIt's been one crazy winter all over!! Glad dr visits went well.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to know I am not alone in my thinking our weather/winter is so different. We are so very grateful for the good reports. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow, you have been busy ! I'm filling my calendar out for upcoming doctors appointments, is it just my imagination, or do we seem to be at the doctors, getting checked for more things, than we ever did before reaching that infamous Medicare hop-on-board-date...
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that Ted does not require the oxygen, I fear once you get to that stage, there is no coming off it.
Love your snow pictures, I'm hoping it is all over for another season :)
Hugs,
~Jo
Jo, I can not even remember my parents going to the dr so much. I think it's a dr for every ailment now. Our old G.P.'s could do it all.
DeleteOh Jo, I told Ted my very self, that if he had to have oxygen, I think our bodies get used to being helped out and they won't come back to where it isn't neccessary to do it's own thing any more. Does that make sense, what I am trying to say? LOL.
I say good bye snow, don't want to see it till next Christmas , then just for that day. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
That's a pretty small return. I think mine was like 1,500 from the state.
ReplyDeleteAdam, As long as I never have to pay them thrills me. When I was young and working , I always had more taxes taken out, which really helps with returns. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThings are good...all golden and that's great to hear! Hope spring weather in coming up in your area...you take the most beautiful sunset photos!
ReplyDeleteThank you Betsy. I love the sun , moon, and stars..so I love to get photos when I can. We still have many dr appointments here. Trying to spread them out..but they end up being close together at times. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteThanks for the update. Good news all around for Ted. I know he will be glad to get off of that oxygen. Hope your weather clears up and Spring comes to stay around your way.
ReplyDeleteKathy, Thank you for the good wishes. Ted has never been on oxygen, they were testing to see if it was needed. Thank our Lord it wasn't. God is good. Hope you and Joe are doing well. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSounds like good news, Our "Blizzard" is over, today is Sunshine and 40 degrees, snow an Ice melting in the roadway and off the roofs ! Church was small but we had a Powerful Message, Brought you and Ted up in My Prayers ! Hope spring comes soon, we are just starting the Sugaring Season for Maple Syrup !!!!! Take Care !
ReplyDeleteGosh I would love just one time to help tap the trees for syrup making. Thank you so very much for your kind prayers. We are vert grateful. You stay safe in this slick walkways , driveways, and roads. Blessings to you and your wife. xoxo, Susie
DeleteSo happy to hear all of your good news and spring is just around the corner. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteLaura, I am happy to think of warmer weather. Today was just so nice. 56 degrees and sunny , mostly. We took a small drive to town, went thru the park...saw a dad pitching a ball to his son(about 5) ...made me smile. Hoping for another good report from my eye dr, this week. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi Susie,
ReplyDeleteThis weather for us has been pretty crazy. Spring for a few days like today and then back to winter. That is what is keeping all these virus's alive. Glad Ted got such great news. He has come a long way with his fight against cancer and recovery. Big High Five! Have a good week.
Hugs,
Kris
Thank you Kris. Yes, the treatments and procedure were long and risky. Then to have setback so many times has been very rough. So for Ted to not have to go on oxygen was a real good report. Ted is a fighter and I am thankful. Love this warmer weather just wish it would stay. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSounds like you've been making the medical dental rounds. Thrilled that Ted's reports were good ones. Spring will be here sometime... I hope!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, I get cleanings and x-rays every year, well the cleanings are every 6 months. My teeth can be sensitive at times.
DeleteTed being told by the lung dr that he does not need to go on oxygen was a huge relief. Hope you are doing well. I think about you. Blessings, xoxo, Susie
Great reports from the doctors! While you didn't get a HUGE tax refund, you didn't have to pay (except for the tax lady). AND, you got it done which is more than I can say for me. We are expecting a VERY rainy week. Spring is coming, I can feel it in the air. Have a blessed day and week ahead, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Theresa. Yes, I am always glad when I do not have to pay taxes. LOL Just makes me happy. Ted's year mark is so very close now and we can't help but be a tiny bit excited. Because his meds will be lowered as will chemo maintenance. I have some major eye appoitments coming up next month, can't stay on the back burner for it either. Blessings to you sweet friend, xoxo, Susie
DeleteOh, Susie, I'm always happy to hear how you are doing. Your weather has been much snowier than ours. We hardly had any! So glad you have a chance to get out but I know how tiring Dr appointments can be. I'm with you on being anxious for warmer weather to stay...we had a good one today but rainy for the next several. Take care, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Doris. Getting appts met and taxes done and warmer weather so near for good...makes me so happy. I am praying for our nation to be safe and smart about all that is happening. Take care, blessings to you and your family, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHi sweet friend! I'm so glad you got such good Ted news! Yahoo and thank you, God! I'm ready for spring, too. Stay warm and healthy!
ReplyDeleteWe are getting exicted with Ted's year mark so near. Once his bone marrow transplant day marker arrives...his meds are lowered and the maintenance chemo will taper off also. Blessings to you and yours, stay safe, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI know you are more than ready for Spring weather. But at least the time will change soon and that will help. I hope you both have a good week. You reminded me....I need to make an appt for my teeth to be cleaned. I usually like to have it done....not sure any more! lol Hugs!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I am always edgy in the dental chair..fear that pick will loosen something I don't know about. LOL. I want warm weather to stay...the changing from highs and lows keeps germs around. Stay healthy my friend, Blessings, xoxo, Susie
DeleteHello Friend,
ReplyDeleteMarch is always up and down with weather in Wisconsin as well. It can look warm, but the wind can be harsh.
Take care. Love, Carla
Hi Carla, Today is a pretty sunny day and may be 50 degrees. I just saw some robins doing their dancing in our backyard. I am a happy old girl seeing spring coming in bit by bit. Ted will see his cancer dr this week one day. I saw the eye doctor yesterday...set up a date for cataract surgery, praying I can go thru with it. Blessings to you and your men there. Stay safe, xoxo, Susie
DeleteGlad to read the good news on Ted. How wonderful Susie! Oh girl...you do get some snow. I was just happy to have a little snow on our mountain trip but I am sure if I had snow like you do I might not be so happy huh? My youngest daughter and her family got snowed in once while in the mountains! YIKES! Dentist: Well, it took me years to get over FEAR of going to the dentist. STILL NOT a happy camper but handle it much better than what I used too. Now when I get my teeth cleaned my dentist tells me how proud of me he is! LOL!!!! Warm here in Florida today. The thing about Florida weather is it can be cold with freezing temps and then HOT the next day. Always have you and Ted in my thoughts Susie. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy for your good thoughts. It has been a relief to be able to get to all our appts without bad roads.. I love my dentist but I just fear they will find something that needs work. The hygenist says she does not have to take long cleaning my teeth because I take such good care. :) Fine with me. I know now if we have a snow it surely can not last, making me happy. Blessings to you and your family. xoxo, Susie
DeleteHello, I am a new follower of your blog. Sounds like you had a busy but overall good month. I hope March brings good things to you - including a lovely warm springtime! I will be back to visit again soon!
ReplyDeleteHi Deb, Thank you for following. I one day hope to have more to post about than doctors and hospitals. I used to have a life. :) I am thankful for every good report and day we get. We have had 3 nice March days already...you know that old in like a lamb and out like a lion saying. Blessings to you, xoxo, Susie
DeleteSusie I'm so glad for the good doctor reports! Getting off oxygen is a big step and I'm sure it frees him up a bit. Our snow is melting but we've still got a lot on the ground. It's been unusually warm for this time of year so I'm looking forward to seeing the ground again! Glad you've had some good weather especially since you have various doctor visits.
ReplyDeleteHi Liz, Oh Teddy never was on oxygen, the tests to to see if he needed to be. Which he did not and we are so thankful. Liz, it is very nice to see the ground without snow. LOL Today was a sweet day, windy but pretty. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteI am so glad that things have kind of turned around for Ted. That makes it easier on you, too. I know how worrisome all this has been and all the running it has entailed. Hopefully, he will need less and less meds and check ups.
ReplyDeletePretty pictures and you are warmer there than we are here.
Enjoy that big tax windfall--snicker. Love to you- Diana
Hi Diana, Oh yes, I am ready for a slow down on running. Just makes it to where I plan nothing...can't . I was thrilled about the lung dr being straight to the point. She kind of rolled her eyes about Ted's wood working. He wears masks but my have get one of those high dollar ones if he ever gets his energy level up to par. Looking forward to when I can stop being Ted's nurse. Thank God I only take two pills a day...cause even at that I forget myself.Take care. Praying for you and John . Blessings to all, xoxo,love you, Susie
DeleteSusie, your photos are always so pretty. Good reports for Ted! Hooray! Having to go out to all the appointments must be tedious, especially with this nasty virus going around. It is so scary. We have had two deaths in a neighboring county. Stay warm and safe..xxoJudy
ReplyDeleteJudy, Hoping you and your family stay cautious. It is darn scary any more. Ted is getting so close to his year marker. Hooray. Things will be more manageable then. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie
DeleteWow, you've had all kinds of different weather around your area, Susie. I'm so glad Ted had good news when he went to the doctor. What a relief to get your taxes done. I have my appt. this month. I know it's been hard for you cause you can't get out that often, but I'm glad you got to get out of the house for awhile in between all the doctor visits. That must have felt so good.
ReplyDeleteI am going to a fundraiser next weekend, and all the family is coming in for that. I'll get to see those dear granddaughters, Susie. : )
love, ~Sheri
ps....I forgot to mention your beautiful snow and sunsets pictures. What beauty you have around your house.
ReplyDeleteI AM THANKFUL TO HEAR FROM YOU. HAVE YOU IN MY PRAYERS. I HAVE MORE DIFFICULTY READING, BUT MILDRED READS BLOGS TO ME SOMETIMES. GOD BLESS YOU AND TED.
