Good morning my friends! How is everybody? Deb and I hope everyone is well, and feelin’ like a “million bucks” this morning!
Our column has been much more sporadic this past week, and we apologize to all for this. Man, it has been just a crazy last couple of weeks, BUT, things now seem to be much, much better! Thanks again for all your support and prayers.
Anyway…
Last week , actually the last part of the previous week, the chemo was kicking Deb’s butt. Two to three days of feeling really I guess, just plain terrible.
This passed to an extent, but she continued to complain, not whine, as she’s anything but a whiner, but she was stating she was not thinking coherently. And it was obvious this was the case…she kept calling me by an old boyfriend of hers name! Not really, I just thought it may be kinda’ cute throwing that in there.
But in reality, the chemo has REALLY drug her down. We knew this was probably going to be the case, but she did so well, the first 10-12 days, it kinda took us aback.
Well, this past Thursday, she was experiencing terrible stomach and back pains. The Doctor had explained to us very clearly that if she was experiencing any type of body changes, or different pains, high temperature, etc., call them ASAP.
So, she did. Well it takes 4-5 hours for a return call, and when they called back and she explained what was going on, they had to relay this to the Doctor, AND, they’d call us back again. When they did, they explained to her that they’d set up some tests to be run at the hospital here in Haines City, and to get there as quickly as possible, and have these tests run.
The reasoning….possible blood clots in her lungs, due to chemo.
We take off up there, get her checked in and were then told the technician was on the way. Well, in another 30 minutes or so he arrives, and they get started on Deb.
As you know from our last column, “It Doesn’t Take Brains…to be a boss,” I was having problems with my digestive system….BAD, and this had continued to be the case.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
