Day + 97 Wilmington

No, we have not fallen off the face of the earth - we've just been sorta hanging out here in Wilmington.

We left Durham last Wed. Even though we had made 2 trips home before, the car was stuffed - Peter rode with Annie in his lap! It has taken a week, but the house finally does not look like we just arrived home; all we need to do is put away the large suitcase.

Life is proceeding. I posted stuff on Craigslist and we spent the weekend helping people put our stuff into their cars. We had the treadmill we bought delivered and it took 3 people to get it up the stairs - weighs over 300 pounds. Finally got it put together and in place today and it sure is nice; so quiet you can't tell that it is running. It has a built in heart rate monitor so if we can figure out how to program that, will get started with some training.

Peter seems to be having bigger swings in how he feels. Some days he is great and full of energy and then the next day or two he feels awful and gets very discouraged. He's had alot of nausea and is not eating much which causes the meds he takes to really irritate his stomach which causes nausea. Kinda a vicious circle. I nag him as much as possible to eat, but sometimes it's like hitting the old brick wall.

We go to the oncologist here tomorrow. Hopefully he has not lost any weight, and all his numbers will be continuing to improve. Dr. Horwitz (Duke) called on Tuesday and said that the results from the bone marrow biopsy from last week were excellent! His said his immune system continues to be improving on a faster pace than usual. Still have to watch out for "bugs" of all types - the immune system is doing good but not that good.

I am very disappointed with Travelocity.com. Peter's mother and sister are coming next month to visit. I was online searching for flights and found a great one. By the time I had searched for the next flights they would need and went back to book the flight the price had doubled+. It is aggravating that they will tell you that there are only 3 seats left, but not that the fares will change in 5 minutes. AND there is no where to send them an email to complain.

Anyway, it will be nice to see his mom and sister. They'll be here from Sat. to Thursday. We may have a visit to Duke and take them along with us.

Not much else going on here. Hope you all are having a great day!
