Day 100+ I've lost count

Still plodding along here. Nothing exciting going on. We went to the dr. here in Wilmington last Thursday and he was very impressed with how well Peter is doing. His numbers are great - ahead of where they were expected to be. We were both pleased to hear this.

We've both used the treadmill exactly once. The weather has been so nice here lately that we go over the Carolina Beach and walk the lake with the dog. All three of us need the exercise. It is .67 miles and right now we have worked up to twice around with a rest in between. We won't break any speed records but at least we are all up and moving.

Eating/taking meds is becoming an issue. Peter's appetite is practically non-existent, so he's not eating enough to keep a bird alive. Since his stomach is empty alot, he gets nauseaus when he takes his meds, so then he's not wanting to eat and so it goes - a vicious circle. I went grocery shopping today at Walmart (I think every senior citizen in New Hanover county was there) and bought lots of high calorie/protein snack food in hopes this will get him eating again.

The most excitement we get is watching all the heavy equipment moving dirt on the golf course in back of us. There are dump trucks, and bulldozers and a steam shovel. I hope they have a plan, but it sure doesn't seem like it. Right now everything in the house is vibrating - they are right behind us!

Nothing else is new here. Cards of encouragement and emails/phone calls would be appreciated.
