We made a quick trip back to Indy for the weekend of Jan 16-19. It was great to be back in our own home if just for a little while. The drive takes about 3 .25 hours to make so it’s not too difficult given the good weather that we had.
Saturday morning after we arrived we made a trip to our favorite German butcher shop: Claus’ on Shelby Street. There we purchase 1.5 lb of their home-smoked bacon and a bunch of their custom Bratwurst which we also love. We were
supposed to have dinner on Saturday with Thomas and Sarah sharing those brats but Thomas came up sick and we were forced to enjoy them by ourselves.
It was all TV football for me on Sunday.

Today (Monday, January 19, 2009) we drove back to Chicago. We made a stop for lunch at Martin’s Restaurant in Rensselaer, Indiana where I enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich combo including a cup of cream of chicken soup. There’s nothing like a quaint diner in rural Indiana to bring you back to reality.
I had a 3 PM appointment for my radiotherapy and then an appointment with Dr. DeMassi. The mask was extra tight today and quite unformfortable. Clearly, I’ve gained some weight being on the steroids and it’s causing my face to puff up. Surprisingly, Dr. DeMassi has allowed me to cut my current dose in half (now 2 mg once daily) which I’m hoping will help cut down on this side effect. He did warn me to be aware of any headaches coming and if they do, he will bring the dose back up again.
