Happy April fool's day

Today marks five years since Tim quit his "day job" and became officially self-employed.
I think it is a good luck day for us. We just got the results of his second round of Vel/Dex
and his numbers are so good that if I was not so tired, I would have danced in the doctor's
office again. His M-spike is .43 and the doc actually feels this is a high estimate when his
other counts are taken into consideration. His IGG is 700. We were gonna go to Disney for
a week after this month's treatments but Tim wanted to extend it to 2 weeks so we can go to
the Florida Keys and visit his Aunt and Uncle and the doc told us to do whatever we want.
He said his numbers are so low and he responded so well that he is not worried if we mess
around with his chemo schedule to go on vacation. Yippee!! Time to blow this place for sunny
skies. I have not flown though since 1985 so this should be a hoot. I swore off the friendly
skies after a rough take-off going to LA and never flew again. We drove last time we went to
Disney but we are too darn tired to do that now. Tim will be on a Dex crash when we leave,
unless his Doc will let us nix or decrease the dex that one time so he is not so tired and I just
don't sleep well and am exhausted all the time. We lose so many days by driving, I just decided
to deal with my anxiety and fly. So if any of y'all are flying to Florida this month and see a
guy in a mask next to a woman doing yoga chanting, THAT'S US!!! My daughter will be the
brave one next to us. Tim is looking forward to some umbrella drinks at Jimmy Buffet's place.
Can't wait!!!
