Today and the next few months

Things are bumping along okay. Dave has Neuropathy. It is painful and constant. It is a numbing tingly feeling in the bottom of this feet, all of his toes, and the pads of his fingers. It is odd that it did not come on strong until March. The medications have not been working. He is on a new medication which is proving to be just as ineffective. Although the medications for Neuropathy are also the same as for anti-depression so he can be a very happy - at times- person in pain. Dave is getting weekly massages. Right now for a half hour but it will increase. And we are thinking of looking into Acupuncture in Milwaukee. Probably for both of us. There is a spot in his lung. They are telling us not to worry. But... how can you not? It is super small and they are going to do CAT scans every 3 months instead of every 6 months to monitor it. His next scan is April 25th. Dave and I have decided that he will fly to Boston for appointments for awhile. Maybe for the next year. One April 27th we are flying to FL for a Disney Cruise for 4 nights. Then we will be at a hotel in FL for 4 nights. We fly back on Monday and get the results to the CAT scan on Tuesday. Then that same week, on Friday, he has a Colonoscopy - the guy that is doing it is the same surgeon that did the surgery in Sept and Feb. The Dr. is one of the worlds best in this stuff, so Dave is in good hands. Then... Dave needs to go to Yorktown VA for 2 weeks to learn about his Milwaukee job. I am going to be in and out of town - spending some time with my folks. Then it is Memorial Day weekend. A last good bye to the Godfrey Family that is up in NH area, then we go Milwaukee for house hunting. We are going to be renting. We are trying to decide now: a) Drive to Milwaukee, house hunt, come back, have the movers come and take our stuff and have it directly delivered to the new place or b) Have the movers come get our stuff then we drive out to Milwaukee while we house hunt. It sits in storage and gets handled a LOT more thus causing more wear and tear. I feel like the next 6 weeks are going to FLY by! That is all for now! Sorry if I am repeating myself! Thanks for reading.
