Dennis spent a week in Texas, shot seven pigs and decreased the feral pig problem just a little with his buddies. They got 35 in all. He flew down to Houston and then spent some rainy days hunting boars and sows. Some were, admittedly, well, ugly. Here he is with his buddy Kevin (he is the one in the orange vest) and a sow.
He brought back a hundred pounds of meat! Sausage and biscuits here we come..... Now he is busy butchering and grinding.
Dennis is on his third week of a daily dose of temodar, the brain cancer poison. Next Tuesday we go to Seattle for the first MRI in 4 months to see if it has been effective. He says this daily dose doesn't bother him as much as the 7 days on 7 days off schedule he was on. His new oncologist is Henry Kaplan at Swedish Cancer Center, and we both like him. He is also seeing a retina specialist as well, due to some old bleeding behind his left eye that was found at the end of last year. She believes that it might have been prompted by his past radiation. So far it has not migrated to his central field of vision and therefore is not affecting sight. He turned 61 years old this last Monday and was treated to cake and ice cream at our local NRA meeting. He is also going to be a grandpa some time late this September. Congratulations to Erin and Glen on the exciting news!! Auntie Heather and all of us are very excited by the propsects of a little one being born.
Now that the weather is a little nicer in Alaska Dennis is out walking in what appears to be-well, sunshine!! Now the sun is up while rising in the morning and it is still light when leaving work at the office-what a relief that spring is almost here. Hoping you all are seeing the sun wherever you are, Dennis and Faith
