Feliz Dia' de Muertos Today is the Day of the Dead as celebrated by our neighbors to the south in Mexico (along with several other countries and cultures). For some reason this day has always intrigued me. It's a day of honoring and remembering those friends and family members who have gone before us. It's celebrated with parades, visits to the cemetery and shrines where the deceased favorite foods are left. Seems like an honorable way to remember those who have helped shaped our lives abd have gone before us. It's been a rough week. Brain MRI Monday, Doctor visit to get results on Tuesday and chemo on Wednesday. I'm happy to report that the MRI shows the tumors in the brain shrinking. Since it's only been 6 weeks since the last radiation treatment it's hard for them to tell on the smaller lesions if they are active or dead brain tissue. I have another MRI scheduled in February which will give a bigger picture. I'm still bald as a cue ball. I really don't care except the colder weather is moving in and my head is always cold. I need to keep a knit hat on even indoors to keep warm. I hope all are doing well and I promise to start writing some awe inspiring entries in the coming weeks now that we are over this hurdle. Get out those winter boots and Keep On Dancin'
