Healthcare update

I've been reading about everyone and their healthcare issues. I hear you. Between getting things done, and managing our health, things sure can get busy. 

Dog tick or moose/winter tick

May 6th we had captured a tick on my arm with a piece of tape.  Sending off the photo to eTick, they told me it was either a Dermacentor variabilis (American dog tick), or Dermacentor albipictus (winter or moose tick). Neither transmit Lyme Disease. Interesting stuff.

I decided to look at Joe Brian's appointments. He has had ~124 appointments since 2013:

PART CXXIV – Bone Mineral Density test #9, Mar. 19. Maybe in prep for going off Lupron injections in summer. This includes quarterly PSA and Lupron injections. The PSA tests have gone down to once every 6 months.  

The Lupron keeps the metastasized cancer cells from growing.
