VACATION and the Doctor

Hey everybody!!!

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. We went to Pagosa Springs, Colorado on vacation and it was nice & relaxing!!! Clay didn't get to do as much fly fishing as he wanted because it rained, and muddied up the water, and the fishing was lousy while we were in Pagosa, but we did get a lot of much needed rest and down time. We also went over to Mesa Verde to the Indian Cliff dwellings for a day and that was a nice trip. I will try & post some pics from that trip later.

The doctor.....
We left our vacation early on Thursday to travel from Pagosa Springs, CO to Garland, TX (in the Metroplex) to see an oncologist there that specializes in Cancer Nutrition. Clay was a little upset with me at first for making the appointment, especially since we had to leave lovely Colorado and our mountain vacation to travel approx. 800 miles to the Metroplex, (and the Pagosa experts all said that the fly fishing was supposed to improve by Thursday or Friday.....and we had the timeshare through Sunday.....yeah, Clay was a little upset with me). While enroute, early Friday morning, the docs office calls and says, "Are y'all on your way?" YEAH! "Well, he has had a meeting that was supposed to be finished on Thursday, be changed to Friday afternoon, and he is having us call and reschedule all his afternoon appointments (ours was for 2:45 PM) and move them to Monday. She said she would check with the doctor and call us back. Called back & said, as soon as you arrive here, come on over. (Our GPS was telling us we would arrive there about 12:00 Noon). Anyway, we arrived in Garland on Friday and was seen IMMEDIATELY by Dr. Jairo Olivares at 12:00. What an incredible doctor and an AWESOME God! Dr. Olivares is a very Godly doctor, and originally from Columbia. A very humble man that gives God the glory for all that he does. He constantly says, "God's Word says this"......."the Scripture says this".....and quotes Scripture, while he is talking to you. Basically he agreed that Clay does need the surgery (and laproscopic/robotic surgery) and that that is the very best option for him. This post is getting long, so I will add another one about the Nutrition part. Long story short though, WE LOVE DR. OLIVARES!!!

TTFN!

God's love & mine,
