The weather got really strange today. The thunder started in the early afternoon, shortly followed by the heavy rain. Do you like thunderstorms? Sometimes I really enjoy them, and today was one of those days. The temperature dropped quickly, and we got almost an inch of rain in the first hour. We sat out on the porch and just watched and listened. All in all, we got almost two inches of rain. There are some areas around here that had some street flooding, but that’s when we’re glad we live on a hill. Now, I’m listening to the frog choir in the back yard.
=======================================
As to the health issue: John has had a recurrence of prostate cancer. He had prostate cancer in about six years ago, treated with radiation therapy.
He went in for a physical in April, and his PSA was at 42 (normal is usually 0-5). The urologist said the only thing that would cause such a high number would be cancer. John had a couple of scans last month, and saw the urologist again Tuesday. Fortunately, the cancer is confined to the prostate, with no spread.
He was treated with a couple of injections that are designed to starve the cancer cells. He'll go back for another PSA in about a month - after our week at the beach. If that seems to be working and he is tolerating the side effects, they'll continue with more medication. If not, I guess they'll be reevaluating.
