Erags and DocRags are finally home...

[DocRags]

We made it in to Milton (Pensacola FL area) tonight...Erags was trying for the Ironbutt of RVing, but didn't quite qualify. (It was his wife's fault!) We're headed to the hospital in the morning for more tests and hopefully some answers. Thanks, again, to all you wonderful Spyderlovers for your love and support along the way. :2thumbs: Special thanks to Dlennox for the use of his car to get around Cheyenne:bowdown::bowdown: :clap:...I saw parts of Cheyenne I didn't think I would, thanks to my wonderful sense of direction when Erags isn't around! (I'm blaming it on the fact that Warren AFB doesn't keep all the gates open at all hours). It will take a while to figure out the mileage from this trip...we'll have RV miles, Spyder miles, rental car miles for when the Spyder was in the shop, miles in a deputy sheriff's car when the Spyder died with a ruptured coolant tank, miles in Dlennox's car while Erags was in the hospital...I think that's about it. Definitely a trip we won't forget.

[DocRags]

Thanks, everyone. I'm trying to tear him from the internet so he'll pack...of course, then he'll have to tear ME from it. :roflblack: It's not fair...he had a head start this morning!

 

[Ga Blue Knight]

Glad that you made it home with out any additional issues. My prayers are with you both. With the lord all things are possible! Have a positive attitude and all will be not only well but better!

The doctors are all leaning towards a lymphoma being the source of the problem...still waiting for a few tests to be finished in Cheyenne, with results expected tomorrow. We're settled into the local hospital, waiting for the surgeon and oncologist to come by. Don't know if it will be tomorrow or today. :dontknow: If the surgeon can go in laparascopically that would make recovery that much easier (so we can get back to riding that much quicker
:yes...we are keeping our fingers crossed...and praying. I'm still having trouble getting my brain around "lymphoma" without the hospice part of my brain engaging. Good news for the day: his blood counts are stable so no blood needed yet.

Oncologist is doing a bone marrow biopsy tomorrow but he said he is reassured by the pathology reports to date. I'm still chuckling over the fact doctors were looking for "volunteers" for bone marrow biopsies when I was in med school years ago, offering $50 to the takers...there isn't any amount I would take to have one done without a medical necessity. I'm on the donor list but so far no one's ever called to say they needed my marrow for a patient.

Oncologist also said it looked like Erags might have the "better" type of lymphoma to get (although not a Hodgkins type, which would be "best"). It is possible that resection of area will take care of the problem without need for chemo. Will need outpatient PET scan in 4 weeks or so but that would still make Lamont's BBQ doable...maybe, especially if surgeon can go in laparascopically. We'll see...keep your prayers coming, folks!

My Brother in law had lymphoma. Took ages to get diagnosed. He had chemotherapy w/regular Neulasta shots immediately afterwards to keep his blood counts good. This was two years ago and he's 71 and hiking in Colorado this past week. They have really good chemo combos now. Not the greatest to get through. But, if you are fortunate like my BIL you won't get nauseous during the protocol.

Best of luck to both of you. You will be in my prayers.

Our prayers are with you guys. I'm sure it will work out Erags is a tough old fart.
