The day has come


Sorry about long delay in blogging. I have not had a lot of good days. In fact, I think I have had more down days than up. I had a blood transfusion last week because my hemoglobin was very low. 8.5 Whoops! normal range is (i think) 12 - 14

So now the day has come. Monday I will be having my second pet scan. Then we will find out on Friday if I am ALL CLEAR. Oh how cool will that be!!!

Some good news is that my hair has started to grow back. It may only be a fraction of an inch, but when there is nothing there, you look for any amount that you can see.

So Caroline bought Wicked tickets for myself and Denise for our b-days and we all went to see it on Thursday. Oh my goodness, If anyone ever has the chance to see that, please go. It was so so so good.

On Friday, I was feeling good enough to go to a christmas lunch get together with my friend and neighbor Jolin and her 2 friends that I met and instantly became friends with. Thanks Kim and Sandie (and Jolin ) for a great time.

On Saturday I went to our Garden Club christmas luncheon at the Lake Elmo Inn. Carleen came to pick me up and she had her new baby Kallie Josephine with her. Of course, could hardly put her down. It was nice seeing the club members again.
So Friday you may hear a faint sound in the air from here to New York saying ...I'm freeeeee.... Listen closely.
Love you all Thank you so much for all your support and prayers.

We will be saying a prayer for you through the week, and expect to hear your lovely voice screaming from the rooftops on Friday. I know you will hear good things, after all this, you will have some good news.

Hi Big Sister (chronologically speaking, of course!)

I just want you to know that I am praying for you every chance I get. I have always thought of you as a very strong person. Much stronger than I. But I never really understood how strong you actually are until now. You are amazing and an inspiration to me. I am so proud to call you sister. May God continue to bless you. We look forward to the good news on Friday. And I can't wait to mess with you "mane" when it returns!!!

BTW: GL stands for Good looking..:>)
