Hi everyone...believe it or not as I write this the sun is shining on us! We've been keeping busy here - we even snuck in a quick trip to the San Juan Islands. Keeping busy is good diversionary tactic for us both. As far as Dallas's symptoms are concerned, I think that he feels as though he has taken two steps forward and one step back. While I notice that he's getting a lot stronger (chopping wood, power walking, etc.) he's experiencing some new pain which is very stressful. I think that the nerves and muscles that were affected by his surgery didn't have time to fully heal before they were bombarded with chemo and radiation. As a result, they're now complaining big time. On the positive side, Dallas has feeling in his face and neck where he thought he'd lost it, so I guess this is a time of healing and change as we wait and see how everything will turn out. Yesterday was a good day so I'm hopeful that more will follow.
Dallas starts getting poked and prodded the last week in November, so I'll report in then and let you know how everything is going. Thanks as always for your ongoing love and support! More later...
Love, Patty

Every time I do this I wonder if I am doing it right but here it goes again. We enjoy reading the news of your progress with such a difficult and trying proceedure. Your love of life, and one another, reads through the lines quite clearly. Kathy will give you a call so that you may hear what we have been up to as I don't think we are going to make it out to the Island this winter. Good thing you did not buy into Wildstone in Cranbrook, tits up, only 50 million in the hole! Take care and keep up the good work. From the sidelines, Mark & Kathy
Hey big fella, how's the poking and prodding?Cool about Kent hey ? I intend to be @ PGA West for every game cheering him on. Watch for me on the golf channel during the last 3 rds. I'll wear my Canadian hat or something, you'll recognize me.
