Darrel put out the crab pots on Friday evening after we unloaded the boat and got some things done around the house. Saturday morning we went out to check them and had our limits, plus.

We went out again in the afternoon with Marilee and Garry and didn’t get as many. Garry then said he wanted to take us out to dinner at 13 Coins. We got seated at the counter so we could watch the chefs at work. I ordered liver and onions (nummy favorite of mine) and it was excellent. Garry and Darrel got the chicken parmesan, and Marilee ordered a seafood pasta dish. Everyone enjoyed their food and the 2 bottles of champagne made for a lot of laughs!

Sunday morning, Darrel went fishing and crabbing. Got a few crab and no fish. He went out again early Monday morning to fish with a club friend, Rick Brown, but didn’t even get a hit.

Darrel and the boat are running well! Haven’t had an issue with the boat since we left Canada. Maybe we were jinxed up there!

Darrel’s sister, Barbara, came in yesterday from Ketchikan and stayed for dinner. We had a good time catching up with her, then Courtney drove her to her mom’s.

Today, we are back at Group Health for chemo. We met with Dr. Feldman, and he said that Darrel’s labs looked good and his liver function was doing great. With the amount of cancer in the liver, I think he is expecting the liver to be acting up. The fact that it isn’t is good news.

The doctor put in an order for a CT scan after the next chemo to see if it is working. So, that will be scheduled around 9/2. We asked what would be next if it isn’t and he said he would have to make some calls and see if there were any experimental drugs being used. This is where Group Health’s association with both Virginia Mason and the Cancer Care Alliance comes in. Always other doctors available to give their opinions and recommendations.

One of the pharmacists that check the chemo went home sick so it was a long wait for the first chemo to show up. It has been going for about a half an hour now and takes 2. We can only hope the chemo and pump show up before it is done. Hopefully, traffic won’t be horrible on the way home – it was on the way up this morning.
