IRON GIRL

Well, it's been a while since I looked in on the blog! Everything is going well. We had a wonderful summer driving cross-country and visiting son and daughter-in-law in San Francisco. It was so much fun I want to do it again. I'm tempted to start a blog to talk about my vacation! Now we are back to reality--and I'm getting ready to head back to the classroom.

I've had good relief for my hands with a monthly B-12 injection and an oral medication called neurotin (generic gabapentin). Just minor numbness and tingling and almost totally normal as far as strength and mobility goes. In a few weeks I go in for my 2nd CT scan and tumor markers. Can't say I'm looking forward to it, but I guess I'll feel better once it's done. So, I'll post results when I get them. I see Dr. Sardi again in September.

The main purpose of today's update is to announce that my daughter, Carrie Price, is running in her second sprint triathlon on August 23. She has decided to donate any funds she raises to Dr. Sardi's research. I'm including a link for anyone interested in donating.

Good heath to all!
