Really - a fish with a Transparent Head?

Good Day

Joke:  Why does the Mermaid Ariel wear Sea Shells?    D-Shells are to big.

 Fish With Transparent Head

Besides a silly joke - here is something weird from National Geographic.  You are correct if you are thinking you are looking at the inside of the fishes head.

So off to treatment tomorrow and the start of the cycle.  Feeling good heading in as usual.  No changes in that area.  

With the weeks slipping on by, fall is certainly here and the leaves are dropping all over the place.  At least I dont have much lawn to rake - though the 3 large trees in the back yard have alot of leaves.  This year though picked up a leaf blower/vacuum.  I will no longer make fun of people vacuuming their lawn.  Took it for a test spin the other night - cleaning up a pile of racked leaves was a breeze.  Looking forward to playing more with the new toy - especially when Home Depot was clearing them out at $25.  Always feel better when I get a good deal.  

Not only does this time of year bring leaves, candy then follow with some seasonal cheer - it is also the cold and flu season.   While going through treatments this is especially important for me to be aware of.  My immune system is drastically effected by the Chemotherapy when trying to combat illness and recovery is almost impossible.  A simple cold can mean a stop to treatments, pneumonia and hospitalization.  Though I may not see everyone face to face - we all have to take care in protecting ourselves, family / friends and others we maybe in contact with.  Taking the time to check with your doctor about a flu shot does not take much.  Using anit-bacterial hand sanitizers and frequent hand washing is also a great way to reduce the spread of germs.   We all can make a conscious effort when at home, work or in public of what we have touched and take the care to stay safe.   Not saying to be germaphobic about things - just some extra care this time of year.  


Keep smilin everyone - and pray for all those who are fighting the Cancer battle.

CT Scan results and back to treatments.

Good day

Fish Facts:   Goldfish can live decades. The oldest known goldfish, "Goldie," died in 2005 at the ripe old age of 45. The second oldest was "Tish" who died at age 43 and pregnant goldfish are known as twits.
Useful facts as I am considering stocking my aquarium with Goldfish - seems I dont have a fish thumb for keeping the more expensive unique fish.  The only 1 surviving is the Albino Pleco.


CT Scan Results and treatments: We met with the doctor last week to review the scan results form Sept 19th.  All looks good.  No major changes, though everything has appeared to have stabilized.  There was no mention or sign of the spot in the left lung and the liver spots are under 1CM.  There was no discussion on changes to the Colon though the Doctor was very pleased with the overall results.  Treatments will continue till the next CT Scan in December - depending on results will determine what the next steps are.  But for now - every 2 weeks another treatment.   It was really nice to have the extra week off treatment - though when I went in - treatment did hit a bit harder.  But the couple hours of yuck was worth the week of feeling normal.

Trip:  We had a great time in Kitchener was great to see everyone.  The highlight though was seeing mom and grandma.  Surprising mom was excellent - did not know she could reach that note in a screech or shut a door that fast.  Was glad to make her birthday present a great surprise.  Thank you Chris and Nancy for putting us up for a few days and the use of your car while in town.  Dan and Lisa you have a wonderful daughter and a neat little dog, Thanks Giving dinner with everyone was wonderful and truly enjoyed.  

  
 Here area some pics from our trip.  Teresa and I driving the boat during our river cruise.  Was a lot of fun and at the mouth of the river was a small colony of seals. They were cool to see.  The other images are of random lobster traps found on a couple of beaches.   1 day the ocean was really calm and the next 5-6 foot waves at shore.  Was tough walking the beach as the sand was blowing alot.  Got my fill that day.




 Now I could not leave out fishing footage.  Here is some underwater and top water footage from our half day of fishing.  About half way through there is a fish swimming towards the camera with a mark on it lip - it eats a herring and off it goes.  If you look closely you can see the fishing line.  That is footage of the fish taking the bait and getting hooked.  Then the fishing reel went a screaming and the battle began.   I will have some pics soon of the fish beside the boat as well.  Stay tuned.              Undwater and top water Tuna Fishing

That is it for now.

Keep smilin and enjoy your week.
