Anna and Joe

On July first Anna fractured her femur in a fall. She was operated on in Cape May where we were vacationing. With the help of physical therapy she has progressed from a walker to a cane and now is starting to walk without either of them.

On June first I was hospitalized for a week due to a bleeding esophagus that was repaired with 11 rubber bands. I had lost a lot of blood and required a transfusion. I seem to have recovered well but still lack some energy and stamina.

It has been a busy summer of doctor visits and tests but things are beginning to return to normal.

update 6/10/13

My recent blood test showed a slightly elevated CEA - 3.4.

We will check it again in July.

The good news continues!

My CEA is now 2.6 and my Pet Scan is unchanged.

So I'm good for another 6 months when my next scan is scheduled.

In the meantime, wish me Happy 74th Birthday!....Joe
