Update on Vicki

Overall, Vicki had a reasonably good weekend. She spent most of her time preparing for the Girls in Action (GA) end-of-year ceremony at out church. By the end of the ceremony on Sunday evening she was completely exhausted so she came home and went right to bed.

Vicki has an appointment with her Gastroenterologist, Dr. Axelrad, on Thursday to check on the progress of her Ulcerative Colitis. She seems to be getting by, but certainly not getting any better.

We are looking forward to a long uneventful Memorial Day weekend, and then next Tuesday, 30 May, we will go back to Georgetown for another appointment with Dr. Marshall and most likely another chemotherapy treatment.

The Deerslayer

This morning, at about 6:10 am, a deer lunged from the center median strip of a major six-lane highway (Route 28 in western Fairfax County) and slammed into the front of my car. I swerved in an attempt to avoid the deer, nearly hitting another car. Obviously, I did not turn far enough though. At least I avoided a head on collision. The car hit the deer on the front left bumper, and the deer must have spun around upon impact - see the dents on the door. Not the best start to the day, but much better for me than the deer. I'll take the car into the shop for repairs on Wednesday.
