Yesterday was a long day for Terry. She had a checkup at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida as part of the continuing follow-up for radiation enteritis caused by the treatment needed to save her life when she was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer in 2000. Back then, her first oncologist gave her six […]

I figured by now you’re probably tired of hearing about our adventures in Hurricane Ian and the aftermath. It’s kind of like old people talking about their medical issues. Nobody really cares, right?

Terry had an appointment at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville yesterday afternoon for a CT scan, a follow-up to her appointment she had last week. This is just routine and something that will continue due to the intense radiation damage she suffered during her cancer treatment 20 years ago. Her appointment was at 3 o’clock, […]

Okay, we all know that’s not true. The thought of crossing the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan and the Astoria-Megler Bridge in Oregon still terrifies me. But the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay? It’s a piece of cake. We crossed it twice a week ago today when I had to go to the Bay Pines […]
