Hola

Hola!

We have arrived safe and sound in Mexico and are enjoying my sister's hospitality. The routine here is wonderful - get up, have coffee and breakfast, jump in the pool, make lunch, and then relax. Callum has done pretty well although he says he is feeling good, but tired. We think it is likely the humidity. He got stung by a gigantic wasp yesterday so we were a bit nervous until he got up this morning and all is well. The wasp is known as the Great Black Wasp, or Sphlex Pennsylvanicus - if you want to look it up.
Last week we made arrangements to return the Avalon to Toyota. It looks like Callum will not have a driver's license for at least a year and we have a year left on the lease. We don't need 2 cars and will keep the newest one (since it is the hottest car in Saskatoon!). They will pick it up on Dec 6.
He was happy to hear that he could cut back on his blood pressure meds - cut by 1/2. His blood pressure was quite low when he was at the doctor last week so we hope that with it back to normal he might get some more energy and have no more dizzyness.
His chemo schedule now changes to Dec 3 and 17th this month. It works well as he should be feeling better in time for Christmas and will be 2 weeks past the last treatment before we head to Scotland.
He sees the oncologist again on Dec 2 and should have a CT scan around the middle of Dec. I think we are back to the "normal" schedule of chemo treatments!

That's it for now.............
