Returning to my post, as it were.

Sorry for the long pause in communications but here is the beginning of the latest information. Dad has returned to 75% of function as himself. He seems to be feeling a little better and is having fewer issues everyday. We have a whole new medication plan and a new plan for the new year that may include some injection therapies to decrease the size of the mass. He still has aches and pains, but as I keep trying to inform him, HE'S 80. It is hard for him to understand why it takes him longer to get up from underneath a trailer after laying on his back working for a few minutes. He has moved back to Quartzsite but comes back and stays with me on a regular basis. He really seems to do better living in both spots. Here he gets good meals and excellent medical care and there he gets his freedom and yard to play in. As long as this is working for him we will keep it going.

Dad and myself want to thank everyone who continues to follow how we are doing and he wants to send his warm wishes for the holidays that just past. Dad hopes everyone is doing well and he wishes he could spell and type better so he could send emails back but he says that's what I'm here for.

So the updates will be restarted and we look forward to hearing from everyone. Happy New Year.
