This is a copy of an email I sent our family & friends that I had email addresses for, thought I'd share with you guys, what's going on, and how it's going for us.
Dale went through like a trooper this morning! He said that the radiologist and a whole bunch of other folks, were there for the big event. He was the first (we are thinking) to use the new state-of-the-art machine.........it took a CT scan first thing, then, they put him back in and it did the treatment, according to what the findings of the CT scan were. He was gone from me for the whole sum of about 40 minutes......came out and said that he felt like a guinea pig! lol
From here on out, he'll be scheduled at 11:00 am, for his scan/treatment, unless they get super-fast at performing the proceedure, and then they may move his appointment time up again.
He said that while they were doing the radiation, he could smell "burning horn" scent, so maybe (just keeping our fingers crossed) it's reducing the tumor, since it's bone, and horn is bone............I know that Heavenly Father is holding his hand through all this, and will get us through it fine. Dale is in good spirits, now that everything is started, he's been a regular "pill" today, but it's good to see him back to his old self again.
The computers they had here at the Casa Esperanza, are no longer available, they do have one that folks can use, when it's not being used for other things (like stuff they need to do) but one of the gals here in the office, let me use one of the office ones, just to let everyone know things are going well. She's another of our "angels", just like you all are!
Kit should be in Luna tomorrow, and then Dale plans on having him come up here once or twice, when he's not too busy playing cowboy.
I actually "drove" in Albuquerque today! No wrecks, or anything! One car did honk a lot, but Dale said it's just that they were bein friendly, or that I'm so good lookin that they honked. lol I'll be doing a little driving around, we need to go get some more groceries tomorrow, someplace a little less expensive than WalGreen's (where I finally got us to today lol), but didn't want to get "too lost"............lol I think I can get us out of town come Friday, if need be, but I'm stayin away from that darned freeway in town. Those folks are NUTS!!! lol I seem to do ok on the side streets, haven't driven on any major ones, though, other than Lomas, and did ok there, too.
Thank you all so much for your prayers and support through all this, I know that everything is going to be fine, and we're gonna be in better shape when it's over, than we were when we got started!
Love y'all!
