Blizzard warning! No kidding, at least south of here. Thank goodness for my girlfriend keeping an eye on the weather for us or we would be right in the middle of it headed to Homer. Now, we are playing it safe and hoping to go in the morning.

Sam's appointment with the oncologist went well today. The nurse noticed right away he has lost weight and yes, he has. I am hoping it is because we have cut out most sugars from our diet and no other reason. He is looking good! He is probably going back to the Zometa for his bone metastases, mostly due to insurance reasons, but also because there have been some recent studies showing that Xgeva is not as successful as Zometa. Question is, how exactly is "success" defined? In Sam's case, it is probably defined as still being able to walk and no broken bones, and I am sure that is what the doctor is thinking, too. He questioned Sam about how his legs are working and if he is experiencing any weakness. The doctor also told him to stay active. That is probably the word which needs to be defined...active...
As for me, I just finished the first official week after a promotion to my new position as Land Manager. Basically a land use planner with a different title and I am thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. Life is definitely much easier to handle when your home and work lives are in good spots at the same time.
Since we are going to be out of town for three days, I will not be updating until we return. In the meantime, enjoy your spring!
Ciao!
