Thursday day 6

Well they continue to fry my brain and I continue  to feel fine so no problem there.  The new schedule is for the radiation to be complete by the 9th of April on the 10th to Ann Arbor for a visit to Dr. Levine, a Cat Scan, a RMI and to put a pick line in my arm to replace the squid that was taken out now that will be a busy day.  Oh if everything is good they start my BMT the 20th.  There that is something to pray about that all things are clear by the 10th or so.  Sharen was saying that its kind of exciting and scary at the same time, it's kind of a jumping off point with no idea of the final results, as it turns out that is what cancer is all about not knowing the final results.
 
What a good day this was one of my son in laws helped me start through the mess in my office and we completed the storage room and got all my little Nit Lite's over to a warehouse.  So that part is done of course the rest of the place looks like a tornado went through.  Some how we got on the subject of solar energy which I know quite a bit about from my early failures.  It seems in Michigan we get about 6 or 7 days of sun in the winter with no cloud cover.  This doesn't allow much sun for exporting to third world country's.  Now when I was looking at solar energy for heating our house we were in Minnesota which is sunny all winter and of course when we moved back to Michigan I never thought to check on the sun availability clearly a bad engineering direction.  I could have been more liberal at that point since I felt that an idea that feels good is a good idea.  So we built our house with a solar front with the perfect angle for collecting all the energy which never materialized.  The other bad part of the design was just after the solar front was a row of shutters which you close on non sunny days, it's hard to even imagine how dark the house is  with the shutters.  The last point was you can not keep slanted windows from leaking and when it rained the kids would run down in the greenhouse and play shower now that hurt.  Any ways that is why we have a wired front on out house when I added the loft to fix the windows, and no leaks.
 
Please continue to keep us in your prayers along with Tom and Sue and my sisters May God continue to Bless us.

  1. Yeah, it's definitely affecting your brain.
    You didn't refer to your son-in-law as pointless!
