January 15-19, 2009

Not much has been going on down here in the Keys over the last week but recovery continues to go well. We did have a doctor visit on the 15th and they removed the rest of my stitches and gave us the final pathology report. The tumor was cancer but from what the doctor can tell us at this point it does not look like it has spread and it is not a extremely aggressive tumor type which is all good. I have a cat scan this Wednesday to verify this, but even if it is clear it looks as if I will be doing radiation for about a month.

There is not a radiation clinic here in Marathon but there is one in Key West. Since I will have to go everyday we have decided to move the boat to Key West for the month of February during the treatments.

This last weekend we drove down to look at a couple of slips that were available and for rent. The marina is located on Stock Island just min. from Key West and the radiation clinic. It looks like we will try and move the boat to the new marina this weekend. Here are a couple of pictures from our "recon" mission this weekend of the new marina.

Angela has also been working on a few interior decorator projects. So we now have a couple of new rugs, one in the main salon and one in the galley area. She also purchased some new pillows for the main salon to add color. Here is a pic of the new rug and pillows in the salon.....very exciting stuff!!

Not much else to report here in Marathon....guess our next report will be from Key West......at least we will be moving on!!
