Saturday. Light in the window.

 An acceptable amount of sleep.  As some of you know, my brother-in-law, Doug's brother is a Catholic Priest living as a monk at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit at Conyers Georgia. .  His day is centered around prayer, the first being at 4 in the morning.  I could attend that prayer service on many of the days of the week.  All my life I have been an early riser.  That's who I am.  And that's who I will be. So...today...up early at 4, shower, surgical spots taken care of, breakfast and the sec. cup of coffee and it's 6:30.  I'll see Doug around 8:30 if I'm lucky!!   The world is full of different people.  

No big plans for the day.  Maybe a short trip to my Soup Kitchen friends if there is any trip out.  No promises made so no promises broken.  Two big whoops for yesterday...lettuce seeds  in the ground.  Easy job and yes...I could be way to early.  But...maybe not.  Gardening is my gambling plot.   It was a 5 minute or less job and I accepted the fact that it was time to stop.  I'll be checking for green!   The second Whoop!   Another walk around the block with Stella.  What a friend.  There was no rain yesterday so I didn't need to be rescued.  

Phone call.  Yes I did call at 12 yesterday.  And...yes they know about me and yes...I'll call you back and No...that didn't happen.  So...I would think the right person to share information was not in the office and MONDAY will be coming for sure.  

As a review...The first diagnoses was an Endocrine Tumor.  Then it was a tumor with breast cancer cells never seen  before on one's head, shared by Dr. Lochrer who is probably in his 60's and has worked with cancer all his life and a leader in the field at IU.  This case was taken to the Tumor board, a board of many doctors who meet weekly to study cases presented.  It was discussed on at least two different weeks if not more.  The primary cancer site needed to be found.  And that seems to be the stumper for now.  It was shared that sometimes that site is never found but never the less, they are still looking.  So...I'll do more probing MONDAY about their probing!.  That's it in a nutshell!!

On a piece of paper stuck to the wall on Dr. Lochrer's  office...the first doctor that I visited at I U...

Life is not waiting for the storm to pass but learning to dance in the rain.  Something good to think about.  

The eastern sky is filled with the colors of the coming day.

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
