Scans are OK

We went to Omak on Tues. to get the results of the bone and abdominal scans. They didn't show any cancer spread, but did show lots of degenerative bone disease - i.e. arthritis, in the back. Since the doctor we saw is a urologist, he recommended going back to the back doctor for any more treatment. But since the back doctor sent Dad to the urologist for further evaluation, I don't think he has any more tricks up his sleeve. Right now Dad is taking 5 or 6 Advil per day to manage the back pain. It is only semi-successful.

Mom and I broke in the new range with a big batch of butternut squash soup. It's pretty cool, but may be a little complicated at first. The washer and dryer are being delivered today. 

If any of you get a chance to go over Blewett Pass, the larches are really yellow right now and just beautiful. Stevens was amazing also, but snowing on my way over.
