First, Second and Third.

 First...Breakfast is over, crossword finished and I'm ready for the day.  Yesterday a zoom call with Doug's surgeon gave us information.  The decision is to get all the pre opt work finished asap and then we'll plug in the date for surgery that will work for both of us.  Great doctor who gave us options to choose.  So Monday is checked off.  

Second...I want to say when the blog was started  the goal was to let you all know what we know.  You are my family and the blog records the number of folks who check in from time to time.  The numbers are gratifying.  Some days it's reunion size.  Families share and your visits provide a whole lot of sharing time.  Thank you with a hug added.  

Third...A breath to relax with...Sarah D. a choir friend and oncology nurse is walking along side.   E-mails are traveling back and forth.  She will have answers when we have questions.  This afternoon is the PTC Scan that will bring some answers on Monday.  Sarah will be a part of the Monday experience by phone sitting at our kitchen table with Doug while I'm with Dr. Moore.  What a gift.  

Garden catalogues came yesterday.  What sunny pictures of fruits, trees and vegetables.  My garden seeds will be ready.   TV continues to be a distraction.. Yes, the good and the bad and the ugly.  Pray for the nation.  

One more thing...posted on the wall in the examination room with Dr. Moore, you may have heard this...

Life is not waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain.  

That's my journal entry or report for the day.  My dance troupe has many members.

    Kathy here:
    I love dancing in the sun and the rain with you, maybe even when there is a fire going and we are in the smoke!
    Thinking of you this afternoon as you go for your scan.
    Dear Lord, Our times are in your hands. Thank you for qualified physicians, nurses, friends, and family members who help us carry what life brings. Thank you for the sunshine you provided today. Keep Lela safe as she drives to and from these appointments. Amen.

This time I hope I'm back for a very long time.  The computer with pictures is finally a go and all the excitement of Sunday is over.   I don't know if I've recovered yet.  There are a few more days before the next Sunday.   For those few who don't know it was another hospital stay of a couple of days.  And it all started in the pew at church with a pass out  seizure type of thing. I think something to do with high sugar perhaps.  The whole service came to a halt for a while.  How embarrassing with a carry out by the good old EMTS.   Lots of tests I guess.  I don't remember a thing until Sunday evening with a trip into a scan machine.  I got released Tuesday and today I visited my primary care doctor for answers and I'm pretty well satisfied.  Two days in bed have really made me wobbly so I'm pretty careful about moving around.  It should get better soon.  I won't be driving for a while because of the seizure.  That's a huge bummer.  The seizure medi

 A day that's been a little slow.  I guess that's OK now and then.   The morning included a yucky bird feeder clean out.  I got tired of looking at it and it was almost empty so there was my chance.  The blue bird was seen often and the pair of red bellied wood peckers enjoyed the suet.  I saw on facebook a guard that is easy to put together to keep sparrows out of the blue bird house.  It's worth a try made with wire and fishing filaments and fishing weights.  I need a wire cutter first.                                                                    For a while both Mr. and Mrs. were visiting.  Then it was to the sewing machine.  The day produced three bags.  I need to get the collection on their way to Michigan.  I made a couple for the Carmel grandsons.  The pace was slowed with a finger cut with the rotary cutter.  What a bleeder I produced.  I will say this is the first slash I gave myself in more than ? years of sewing.  I think it's time for a fresh dressing

Kimmy did it again.  She guided me to the spot where now there is a change made in the blog settings  allowing comments.  If you had a google account you could do that already.  At least  that's what I think I'm reading.  So comment away when you want to.  Will be fun.                             I'm looking forward to a whole bunch of different zinnias this summer.   Finger report.  It's doing fine with a major clean up today. One reason for no butterfly but a small club is to pad the site.  Typing is improving.  The day brought more sewing with four more bags completed and one waiting for velcro which should arrive tomorrow via Amazon.  Another package of D rings should be included to finish up a few cover ups.  It's been a busy sewing season with some new challenges that keep the sewing room interesting.  I must dig through my fabric for more options.   Lots of meal worms are disappearing again.  Most of the time it's because the pair of Blue Birds are having
