Yeah am very much awaiting news of the CT scan for mom (and rooting for good CT scan news forJZ!!) while also thinking like “fuck who is even taking care of their awful dog right now, it’s probably pissing all over the floor….”
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh meara! I hope the scans are better than anticipated.
We'll find out the results of the scan this morning.

ION, I am heading back to NY, probably early Sunday morning. Driving the car we found for my son to him. Garaged all its life by one owner in Florida is a far better option than any car that has lived in central NY. It's a 2018 Prius and absolutely pristine. Son is super psyched. I'll drive it up and fly back next week sometime after we deal with the tag transfer and all that. I drove it home last night. Handles a lot differently than mine, and I really need to watch the video to see how to use all the stuffs. I did get my phone connected to listen to my book. Leaving DH home to deal with business and pets and such. On the road again....

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Oh no, meara. That's so much. Best wishes on finding a clear path forward.

I got an email from the legal assistant of my lawyer. Workers comp is offering a settlement but my lawyer is out of the office through next week so I won't meet with her until June 5th to talk about it.
We have the funeral today and M wanted to be a the visitation as long as possible but we ended up going to the location of the funeral...which is like 20 mins away, realized the mistake and are now almost to the funeral home. We got there to the funeral home. Almost got t boned by a tow truck running through a red when we were trying to turn left with the light we had.
M decided not to stay as long as I thought he would...which is really good because I was feeling uncomfortable. I saw two men with 3 Percenter tattoos. One was on the back of his hand and another on a guy's fore arm.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Dr. Hendifar took us through the scan. Nothing dramatic but he was pleased with the results.
No new tumors or growth. It's early in this process and the results take time but the bigger tumors that he measured did look smaller.
Not definitive. It depends on where you measure them. But one that was 36mm looked more like 34. That was true with several nodes. Slightly smaller.
Certainly nothing was bigger.
One mass looked different in composition as if the drugs were affecting it. (It starves the cells.)
The effects should be more pronounced if it continues to work and the next scan is late July.
