Back at it

I had a great break from dr's appointments and testing this weekend and got to do lots of things I enjoy. I gave my garden a little TLC, almost finished packing up my Christmas decorations :), and saw the Packers win a big game - Yay! I also saw "The Drowsy Chaperone," one of Mackenzie's favorite musicals at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts. It was really fun! I highly recommend it to any of you if it comes to your area. The bonus for us was that we had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Houstons, after the show. I also ran into some great friends I hadn't seen in a while at church on Sunday. And after a Sunday afternoon nap, I went to our daughter Shannon's house to visit before she headed to Alabama for a week with her husband and kids. I couldn't have asked for a much better weekend.

Today was back to Holy Cross hospital for some of those tests I had mentioned. First was a pulmonary test to see if I could be a candidate for lung surgery. The test has to be read by a doctor, but the technician saw no problems, so that's good. Then I had a contrast CT to gather more detailed information about my condition. I wore one of my sister Jeannie's sweatsuits that she said I would become addicted to during this process. She was right! These things are great!

On the way back I stopped at one of my dearest friends, Suzi's house. She and her husband Bill, Bob, and I talked, laughed and prayed. Then Bob and I bought a new flat screen TV for our bedroom since it looks like I'll be spending more time in bed once my treatment begins!

I can feel your prayers, and they are really helping me. Please keep them coming! God bless!
