More doctors...less fishing

Well, I haven't been fishing in about a month...that sucks! I have, however been to more doctors in that time than in the rest of my life combined!
The good news....The docs have possitivley diagnosed me with Sarciodosis (and auto-immune disease). That may not seem possitive, but at least we know part of the problem and can create a plan of attack for it.
....I don't have lymphoma!
The bad news.....I still have a tumor in my head that is in a very hard spot to operate on or bioptsy. The new theory is that it (the tumor) is screwing with my bodies abillity to control my hormones. Thus the fatigue, heart, blood pressure, pain (which is also from Sarcoid), dizziness, ect... It may also be contributing to the effects of the Sarcoid and my auto-immune problems(although they seem to be 2 seperate things).
Sssoooooo, off to a new doctor I go!!! Some long named specialist that deals with hormones in the brain. He'll see if he can determine the hormone levels and then try to control them whith animal/synthetic hormones. I may literally become as healthy as a horse! The neuro-surgeon/oncologist is going to take my case to a national board to discuss how to best get rid of "pinky" as I've taken to calling my tumor. They meet via conference call every 4-6 weeks. Hopefully that will produce a few ideas so I'm not on drugs/hormones the rest of my life.
OK...enough medical crap!
I'm going to look at a dog today. An English Springer Spaniel puppy. My wife (of all people) and Michelle decsided that since I'm home alone all day that I needed a dog. I'm still not convinced myself, but I do like dogs...I'm just not sure I'm up to the work, although I do have the time.
Our house is finally comming back together. We have carpet and vinyle in, and are starting the finish work. It looks really good! Charlotte has been working her butt off since I can't work for very long periods. I think the house will be better than it was before!
Bc, Lauren, and Caleb moved into the house next door. They are living communally with another couple and two other individuals...not sure I could live like that, but they seem to do fine with it. It definately saves money for everyone. They all seem to get along well, and are good neighbors. Plus its nice to have them all close by. Amanda's working and thinking about buying "All American". It's a kiosk in the mall in Albany. They serve Ice cream and specialty drinks. Whether she buys it or not, she'll learn something in the process of it all, I'm sure. Adam and Alexa are back in school. Adam is running cross country...I hope it motivates him to keep his grades up. I know he is enjoying the physical activity, and loves to be a part of a team. Alexa is a cheerleader, and seems to be enjoying it. She takes our razzing pretty well. We're not much of the "cheerleader" types around here.
Fishing and hunting seasons are just about here! Salmon season may be short since we can only catch 5 this year, although that would be great compared to last year! Hunting starts next month, and I have a doe tag this year, so should get something. There are a lot of good places close-by that I can road hunt so I don't have to walk. It kind'a sucks having to plan everything in my life around this crappy illness....GEEEZZZ!
Well, thats it for now.
