Imagine

Trying to imagine how yesterday would go, whatever would fill the day, was  a complete failure.  I mean a complete failure.  Emphasis on the last two words.  It was a complete failure.  Did I write that already?  

The roof did not need a new roof.  It was the neighbor's roof.  Then that roof did not need a new roof.  Communication just went down a crooked road with lots of hairpin curves.  Woo...Reconstructing that road was a major affair.  I would say a computer failure with misunderstood information entered by mear mortals.  Sometimes a GPS device gets it wrong as well. 

At the afternoon visit to the Simon Cancer Center once again I connected with Dr. Schneider. That was a good thing.  What intense eyes and determined speech conveyed what he knew so far I was given  the plan.  My anxiety level has dropped from the high mountains peaks of the Andes to a seat beside the still waters.  My cup runneth over with positive expectations. Surely goodness and mercy have filled me.   I needed a plan.  It's not complete but what I have is enough. What is ahead might be considered an easy fix compared to the February fix.  Words from Dr. Schneider.  There is more evidence now that the tumor on my head did start with a breast cancer cell traveling l conveyed through the bloodstream. 

                            Don't worry, things take the time they take.  Don't worry.   

So after the Nov1 biopsy, one of two plans explained to me on Nov. 15th will be chosen.  But Dr. Schneider said the plan could change. Things take the time they take.  Once again,  Mary Oliver.  

 Last January I named my tumor Norbert.  He was just a little stinker doing what he did but if it hadn't been for Norbert, there would have never been a follow up Pet Scan and Breast MRI catching the latest currently small abnormality.  

I owe the Lord a morning song, of gratitude and praise.  For the kind mercies, He has shown in lengthening out my days.  An old song I heard my mother sing so often.  It's my turn now.  

Yesterday was one of those eventfully changing life days for me.  There have been a few of them this year. 


 This is a lady butterfly.  See those black blobs of color on the lines near her body.  That's a sure sign.    Today is a new life day!

    Well, I am glad I read the whole entry. To say that the day was a COMPLETE failure is misleading. When I read that I feared that the doctor visit was not a good one - so I am glad that you are less anxious about that - and that you are not going to have to find another unpleasant name. The whole roof adventure sounds as if people are relying too much on GPS and not on decent maps that show how things connect. Oh, well, as Scarlett O'Hara said "Tomorrow (but now it's today - which was yesterday's tomorrow) is another day!" So, prepare for the roof!

    I am praising God with you for the dr. report and that you are not as anxious now. Thankful it was caught very early. Praying for the roof issue to be resolved quickly and your new roof to be on and be the quality it should be. Yikes awful to go through.

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

Wed. I'm back Thanks be to God!

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

Saturday.

 Today was the every other Saturday for Soup Kitchen work at church.  But before that I was up at 6 with breakfast and a little sewing time.  By 8 I was on my way to church to be at the door when Tosha would be arriving.  Sarah Ellen is in Italy for the week.  One person short makes a whole lot of difference when the soup kitchen crew is at it's usually small size.  Jack arrived earlier than usual so that was a big help and the new Cindy crew of two more folks made work time even easier.  Sometimes I feel like it's a guess who is coming to work now added to the guess who is coming to lunch.  The crowd wasn't as large as usual.  We just never know.  I say it's a crap shot not to be figured out!                                                I hope to have a lot of these orange cosmos this summer.   The morning work flew along.  I talked with Heidi about my ideas for Easter decorations.  The Easter banners are back at church and a few more decisions have been made.  Easte
