Another weeks rolls by on the shore of Lake Superior. It started out with rain, and the streets cleaned off nicely, but now we've received more snow and the slushy driving conditions have returned.
On Monday, Wendy, Kristian and I drove down to the border to get my Christmas gift—a motorized golf bag carrier. Now, I can't wait for golf season to try it out. I enjoy walking, but carrying the bag—especially picking it up and putting it down—causes pain in my right shoulder. Then in the evening we enjoyed Wendy's Christmas present—our first ballroom dance lesson. That went better than I expected—we were introduced to Foxtrot, Tango and Cha Cha. Lessons are supposed to continue for nine weeks, but we plan to skip the final two as we head south for a vacation trip.
A return visit to my oncologist on Tuesday provided the uncomfortable confirmation that my PSA is still elevated. Dr. Prowse still feels this is caused by chronic infection of the prostate, so he has prescribed another course of antibiotics to be followed by another PSA test, and of course, more DRE's.
Work continued through the week, and some progress was made. The next three weeks I will be back on the road for visits to a few schools.
Wendy has been busy all week with extra babysitting. Two days she took over our friends' daycare and had about a dozen kids to deal with, so she was tired! She has also been helping me with renovations downstairs. This week we picked up the drywall and plywood and I have begun drywalling the new closets—I hate drywalling closets, so much fiddling around. The progress is slow.
Friday evening we enjoyed a special Italian restaurant outing with Travis & Sylvia, Erin & Kristian, so that was a treat.
And that's about it for this week.
