Gramps and Grammy take a lot of pride in their good health. And their track record IS quite impressive! Neither of them take any prescription medication, nor have they had any prolonged illness or injuries. Their meticulous concern for healthy living has paid off in their later years.Unfortunately, even a conscientious diet can't insulate us from everything. And, Grammy had surgery for uterine cancer two weeks ago at the Huntsman Center. The doctor did a complete hysterectomy and then some (uterus, ovaries, tubes, etc. - any organs she could part with). Dr. Webb (Grammy thought her doctor's name was good karma!) also took lymph nodes from other areas to test tissue to see if her cancer had spread.
Grammy was effusive about her praise of the facilities at The Huntsman Center. She thought the staff was wonderful with only the exception of one nurse who "woke her up" to ask if she needed a sleeping pill. Huh? Grammy is still trying to figure that out.
Dr. Webb called Grammy yesterday with the encouraging news that they believe they got everything! Hopefully this will eliminate the need for chemotherapy and/or radiation. Dr. Webb said the report indicated the best news they could have hoped for! Whew!
Naturally Grammy is delighted! She said it's a good thing since she's got plenty left to do! She's the president elect for the U of U emeritus alumni association and she's anxious to get to work! Go Grammy!
