Test Pilot Grounded

Yea, I am off my clinical trial for three weeks. I was at the Institute yesterday and did not pass muster with my pancreas numbers. This is a side effect of the drug to raise a little trouble with the pancreas but it was the first time for me. I didn’t have any of the physical symptoms that are associated with it. So, three weeks off to see if those numbers cooperate. Nugget and David (my research nurse) are working extremely hard on this. They are reading all the small print and keeping us in the protocol.

But I did get to touch base with two of my favorite people, Patti Kwok and Debra Jarvis. They are both authors and chaplain/councilors. Patti came all the way out here to help me plant corn in May. Debra did the Veranda and the Camino last year. I never tire of those two.

Today here at the ranch it is overcast but warm. We had two sunny days in a row, Tuesday and Wednesday, so I guess that is it for the sun. Walking in a minute.

  1. Dang. Not news I really want to hear. But maybe a little rest on the body is good. Needing some veranda time with you to catch up on all the things.
    Sending big loves,

  2. I love your cavalier style, but we’ve got the prayer rug out, as we like to say in my family. Pray to St. Peregrine, the patron saint of pancreases. What a great pilgrim name, since I know you love to peregrinate. Sending love to you and your pancreas.

    1. Henriette ~ thanks for researching that. Peregrinate Onward!! Hello to the gang. Felipé.x
