I am having some health problems that aren't related to cancer although I secretly blame the chemo. I am probably stretching my blame a bit since it has been 13 years. I had to have blood work done again yesterday to see about anemia and I am still hoping I don't have to have a scope snaked to my stomach.

We take Ranger to the doctor next week to get his staples removed. I did find out that we may have to take him to see a cancer vet because we were told his type of cancer usually spreads. I need to know what the clean margins really meant. He is getting older and want to make sure we do right by him. I am in awe of how quickly he has recovered from surgery. He chased a squirrel yesterday and I thought the squirrel lucky he got to the fence when he did. Ranger is back to his ole Rowdy self.

My daughter is back here and she has been keeping me busy. I am sleeping like a baby at night as long as the pain lets me sleep.
