Hello Goodbye!!

Today we met with my surgeon to discuss the upcoming surgery.  He said he wants me to have my 6th chemo treatment scheduled for this Thursday.  This will be my final chemo treatment until after surgery.  Chemo goodbye for now.  He scheduled an MRI for a week from today to get a closer look at my liver.  This will be followed up shortly with another appointment with the surgeon.  He claimed roughly 2 to 3 weeks I will be in surgery. 

Later this evening we went to the Hudsonville Fair to spend some Family time with Lydia.  She was very bummed the rides weren't whirring around already.  Frankly I didn't understand it either since we saw plenty of them rolling in Yesterday.  Since Lydia didn't care about the tractor pull we simply roamed around admiring all the big and small animals the fair had to offer.  During our roaming we bumped into and old coworker and friend.  It was great talking with him and his family.  Both his children and ours have grown so much in the last couple of years.

After the fair we grabbed some supper and ran into a waitress we had a couple years ago who was back in town for a short time before having to head back to WA state.  What a happy surprise to see her and her husband.  We had a great time talking. 

Overall we had the opportunity several times today to say both Hello and Goodbye too people who have been and continue to be very supportive.  Thank you to everyone.
