I HAVEN'T POSTED SINCE LAST THURSDAY?!

What the heck is wrong with me? I could have sworn I've blogged since then. I meant to, guess I just didn't get to it. At the moment I'm waiting for my nails to dry, so I'll do an update. I painted them every other one orange and black, because yeah, I'm that nerdy.  

Today has been a good, gooder, goodest kind of day! Let me tell you why. First, Dad brought the washing machine back over, and it seems to be working. Score! He says he doesn't know exactly what he did to fix it or how long it will keep going. So we'll just keep using that thing until it burns up, blows up, implodes or disintegrates. It's all good. Just keep chuggin' along, little washer. I think you can. I think you can. Just another year or so, I know you've got it in you!

I hear Mr. Colby had a great day at school today. Always makes me smile from ear to ear. Hmmm, it's amazing how well he does on the days when they're not so academically focused and more arts and crafts/watch a Halloween movie focused in his class. I gave him 4 faces to choose from for his jack-o-lantern. I was too lazy to load them on his eye gaze, so I went old school and printed out the choices. Then I taped them on 4 corners of a plastic tote lid and had him choose. Hey, it worked. We've started pulling the final touches on his Halloween costume together. It's still missing a little somethin', somethin'. Just haven't figured out what it needs to be complete. I worked today so I could have Wednesday off to go to school with him for trick-or-treating. I didn't even ask him if I could go. Hope he doesn't mind.

I'm super excited to share my good news. The oncologist nurse called today and said my body scan showed, and I quote, "no evidence of residual or recurrent thyroid cancer". That made me happier than a cat covering shit, let me tell you. So I asked okay, now what? She said that's it, you're done  J  Just need to have regular follow-ups with my doctor to check my thyroid level.

There is a tiny bad tidbit to report. Suctioned some blood out of Colby's trach tonight. Don't ask me, I have no idea. Some things I love about that trach, some things I hate. What I hate is my ignorance and/or inexperience with trachs. So I'm not really sure if this will just pass? Or do I need to call Cincy ENT tomorrow and get him an appointment ASAP? Guess we'll see what the morning brings and take it from there.

Okay, it's after 11:00, my nails are dry, and I'm going to bed. To celebrate my non-cancerness, I got pizza and wings tonight. Not one of the most brilliant ideas I've had in a while. I think for a nightcap I shall have Extra Strength Tums, and a lot of them! Bye for now.
