Chicago Trip

On Tuesday, Caroline, Claire, and I went to Chicago for my routine treatment at Northwestern.  We then went further north and spent a couple of nights at Bob and Holly's.  I was able to get some work done at Big Hollow and golf while the girls were able to fit in some shopping.

I got a lot done at Northwestern with great results:

• My blood work came back with almost everything in the normal range.  My platelets were a little high probably due to my body recovering from surgery
• My physical exam was good
• I took my CT scan done at Eureka Hospital with me.  Therefore they only had to scan my neck and chest.  The results were great.  The scan showed all of my lymph nodes at normal size.
• A Doppler of my leg showed no new clots so I've been given the OK to stop taking the blood thinners

A Cooler Uncle Sam

The weather was great for this year's 4th of July parade.  The walk to the parade was much easier than last year, too.
