Nearing the Finish Line
I completed my 30th treatment today. We had our Wednesday night supper tonight and, as usual, plenty of good food. We have about ten people leaving within the next two weeks, and Patsy and I are two of the short timers here. A lot of new people have started moving in, and it is hard to get to know all the new ones and identify their spouses.
We took a few pictures of the group tonight after supper. Not all the residents are in the pictures because some were too tired, some were too sick, and some had other plans after dinner.
I will see my radiation oncologist tomorrow. He will probably not have much to tell me except to plan to return for a follow-up visit in about six weeks. Even by then it will be too early to know what, if anything, the cancer is doing. The hormone shots suppress the PSA score and will for at least six months. I have faith that the cancer will not return!
Some contractors are installing a large generator at the Caring House. A few years ago, the Caring House was without electricity for about a week because of an ice storm. So on Sunday the electricity will be off at the Caring House for about five hours to get the electricity connected to the backup generator. Since the weather forecast calls for very cold temperatures this weekend, we will plan to travel home and return Monday. Hopefully all the “bugs” will be worked out of the generator by then. I will have only four treatments left when we return Monday!

Hello Uncle Wallace,
I just read your blog and you sound like you are doing well. Please know that we are praying for you to return home quickly. I have added your name to many prayer lists and I started a prayer chain, so there are a lot of people praying for you. Sounds like you and Aunt Patsy have met a lot of nice friends up there! Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or Aunt Patsy.
Love, Kim Floyd McKenzie
