DYNO DAY RESULTS

Today, our friend Dave died peacefully at 12:30 pm. 

Dave was a great guy and a good friend.  He is survived by his wife, two children and four grandchildren.  He will be missed.

In place of flowers, if anyone was thinking of sending them, please donate to the nonprofit center that Arlene works for.  Dave would like that. 

Ed Brown Senior Center (EBSC)
18402 West Bernardo Drive
San Diego, CA 92127

FYI:  There will be a memorial party planned in Dave's honor.  Info will follow.

Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time now.  Our farewell was the drive-by.  >o

Hey - who left this cool cap at the restaurant during the Big Bear Run =5

I'm in +1 as yet to be determined Co-Pilot.

Hey Mark - glad your in for this one.  It's actually a fun run and a LOT closer to home for you!  Must have taken you 3-hours to get home from Big Bear...

Dave and I went to the oncologist this morning and the news isn't good.  He's back in the hospital because he's lost so much weight and he's anemic and dehydrated.  The doctor kept repeating that he will be there only a couple of days to make him more comfortable. 

Basically he had to tell Dave it's terminal and to get his affairs in order now.  The chance chemo would do any good at this point is minimal and he did not recommend it.  He would do it if Dave insisted.  Right now, although I knew this was coming, I'm still in shock.  I've told my daughter and will tell my son tonight.  I want to thank all of you for your kindness and support during these trying times.  I can't tell you how much it has meant to Dave and I. 

I'll keep you informed.  Right now, the best way to contact me is through email.  I'm really not feeling much like talking.

Well Dave is back in the hospital.  I took him in yesterday afternoon.  He now has blood clots in his lungs and is hooked up to yet more machines and medication to thin his blood.  In a day or so they are going to start chemo while he's still in the hospital because at the rate he's going, he won't be ever be out long enough to start it.  I'm guessing he'll be there until at least Monday.  A lot will depend on how fast the clots dissolve and he reacts to chemo.

He was looking so gray and pale before I took him, he's actually looking better.  He's even eating a little more. It's still only soft food, but he's actually eating most of what is given to him.

From Arlene June 10th...

Well we had our follow up appointment today and know pretty much nothing more than we knew before.  They want to do yet another cat scan and maybe he can start chemo in a couple weeks. 

That's it for now.  Dave is doing a little better.  He actually walks around our cul-de-sac everyday.

Arlene

From Arlene June 3rd...

Well Dave's finally home.  At least some of him is.  He's skin and bones.  I picked him up last night.  He still has the infection from the bowel being perforated and is on antibiotics and pain pills.  He can't start chemo until the infection is gone so we still don't have a date for that.  Mostly he sits or sleeps.  He's allowed only soft foods and eats very little.  Slowly he'll be allowed to eat solid food again and his appetite will start coming back.  He's definitely glad to be home.

Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers.  They mean so much to both of us.

Arlene

Yes - this is rain or shine...

The chance of rain for OC is only about 20% - not much to worry about.  It won't be raining in Temecula with a high of 74 - perfect!

Sign me up for this.  I'd like to see what my new SSG 'vert puts down. 

Dude - you get yourself another Viper =5  What year?  Where are the pics?
