MD Anderson - Part Deux (two)

We were supposed to go to MD Anderson this past week for a report on my CT scan. The MD Anderson CT machine has much better resolution than the Austin-based one. This is strange to me, given how new the Austin one seemed. But I will say that the MDA one has prettier lights, they spin faster, and the voice that tells you to "Take a breath. Hold it. Breathe normally." is much more human-like. The one here in Austin would remind you of that little robot in Buck Rogers from the late seventies. He only said like three things though: "Good idea, Buck." "Beedee beedee beedee." and "Look out, Buck." He was not as sophisticated as the CT machine here in Austin.

Here is that little Buck Rogers robot with my other favorite character, Wilma Deering.
So as I was saying, we didn't get to go to MD Anderson this week, and so there is really nothing to report from a health point of view. The news is that we did hear from MDA and will be heading down there this week. We will be finished with additional testing late Thursday night, and heading back on Friday AM. We will look to update the blog with results on Friday or that weekend depending on how things go. 

Thank you for your thoughts, prayers and cheers. We thrive on your positive vibes.
