Griz Game

Clancy and his brother, Mike, took in the Griz game in Missoula on the 23rd.  It was Mike's first trip to a game and he really enjoyed it.  Cousin Billy King is sitting in the middle.  The game was close all the way and the Griz won it in the last 10 seconds.  Henry and Falina had a big brunch fixed when the brothers arrived in Missoula.  The menu was huckleberry pancakes, eggs with special Tolkien sauce, sausage, bacon and green tea directly from China!  The steroids Clancy has been on have really stimulated his appetite.  He ate two large oriental chicken & rice bowls at the game too!  He's still under 200 pounds, so I guess he can keep on eating what he wants.



It's been a good week home.  Clancy was able to get in to work a few days.  That has been great source of satisfaction for him.  The district is running smoothly and, as always, he is so proud of is crew.  His bald head was a bit of a shock to everyone, but he was never that pretty to begin with.

Clancy was able to fulfill a goal he had during the first month of treatment.  He wanted to make it home in time to help Mike ship calves on the 20th.  He wasn't a huge amount of help due to very little stamina, but the calves were in excellent condition and it was fun to see lots of friends from the Hot Springs area.  The most frustrating part of a great trip home has been the reduced energy and stamina.  As with everything, it's only temporary and he will continue to press on. 

It will be time to head back to Salt Lake on Tuesday, the 26th.  Another dose of chemo and stem cell transplant are on the agenda.  Take time to laugh and do something special for someone today.
