September 23 -- A New Man

Hi all,

It has been a while since the last update and we have heard from a few of you on this subject. In general, no news is good news but here goes nothing anyway! Arnie is doing well. He has taken to heart his Dr.'s orders and is eating everything in sight. He has also figured out that even though the insulin will take care of things, there really are some things he doesn't need to eat in excess (Starburst come to mind). He has managed to gain just under 10 lbs so we say "A job well done!"

We had a nice little outing this week to buy Arnie some clothes. We spent 2 hours choosing a new wardrobe so he can get out of his sweatpants if he so desires. Arnie is very much enjoying his svelte new shape and is planning on keeping it and showing it off! Coming soon to an event near you!

On Tuesday we begin the next phase of treatment, chemo again, to insure a positive long term outcome. We are looking at 8 rounds which will take us to the end of Dec. So,we begin our bi-weekly trips to Montreal. I am sure everyone will hear about my driving etc but for now he is restraining himself. Well, he did "help" me with my decision on where to park on our shopping trip so I guess he was getting warmed up.

Keep smiling,
Liz
