Happy Thanksgiving !(especially to the dears at the Genesis Center
and Teri at the Arlington Hotel!)
I am going in today to be jabbed with those secret sauces that thicken my blood. I actually enjoy going to the Genesis Center since the staff there are so very wonderful to me and the views are of green trees and rolling hills. Lovely people and lovely scenery. The last time I was there some of the ladies kindly suggested they would adopt me!
Folks, even those you do not know, can be surprisingly kind. Paul and I considered having our Thanksgiving meal prepared and delivered but then we discovered that no one in this area does that. Amazingly, Teri the concierge at the Arlington Hotel here in Hot Springs (www.arlingtonhotel.com) went out of her way to arrange, ad hoc, a home delivery for us if we wanted it.
Teri...you are an angel!! Sorry I am not up to eating much. Your kind spirit alone infusing the food would have made it scrumptious. I wish for you every good thing in this world. How's that for generous? You deserve it!
Well, these wonderful folks plus certainly all of you are making this one of my best Thanksgivings ever even minus that ugly old turkey. Who needs that bird anyway when I am surrounded by peacocks like you!
I learned that Dr. Muldoon, my oncologist, wants to add one more chemotherapy after the one I have next week. Instead of five total I will be having six.
I am tolerating the chemotherapy so well I think he believes why not go for the gold! Jeff says that getting more than eight probably is of no extra benefit.
Good Lord...I hope Dr. Muldoon doesn't keep going after my just added sixth treatment???! Seven? Eight?
SO...Paul and I will be here by the Lake and not in Louisiana this Christmas. Maybe after the New Year?

Dear Brave Lady!
Well, your courage and resilience are becoming legendary! Yet another treatment! Wow! You must have some strong stuff in you, gal!
I loved watching the pictures on the blog of you. What I really want to know is how did you get Paul to sit still for such a time?
I particularly like the most recent picture sans hair. You are stylin' girl! Makes you look younger!
Truly, Judy, you do look amazing and I am so proud of you! Hang in there,gal, and know that you are constantly in our thoughts and prayers!
Sounds like all the perseverance is paying off! YEAH!
Love and hugs,
