Upswing after Longer Downswing
I can think of no-one right now other than Chuck Bussey. He and his family are in my thoughts and prayers daily, as I know I have been in his during this last year and a 1/2.
Spent loads of time yesterday with doctor who is fine tuning my pain management. I’m being tweaked and customized and very excited about the whole program. Coordination is such a big part of the program, and family is on the front line of everything. It may even help me to come up with a more accurate time table for my blogs, so don’t give up on me. My new doctor joins the ranks of the greats.
I’m scheduled for my cataract operation for noon on this Monday, June 25th. We have adopted a wait and see policy for the myeloma that sits behind it on the retina. If all goes well, we’ll move right on to the cataract on the left eye after a few days. Meanwhile, my vision takes a quicker nosedive every day and continues to give me a hard time with my reading. However, my continued exposure to people and their families keeps my complaints to a minimum. I’m not talking morbidity here – I’m talking hope, charity and faith. In simple terms – friendship, optimism of sorts and just a little less of myself for myself. It’s that thing we call peace. If you would have experienced the goodness in my home these last few weeks, I wouldn’t have to be writing this.
My electric wheel chair has been approved and is on order – maybe a week and a half. Will I get beat up if I get a Junior Hells Angel’s jacket. It goes 5 miles per hour and can go 25 miles on one fill – no gas – just electricity - that will not be cheap either. I’ll have to hit one of those hot houses. Is that a spa or massage parlor?
The Denver Family arrived on Tuesday, former secretary arrives on the 25th, sister in-law will be with us from July 6th - three weeks. Then some visitors from the east coast? Don’t have time to die – we’re too booked up.
Kris is ecstatic having all the grand kids (along with me). The back yard looked as full as the Point Defiance Zoo yesterday. However, we had more laughter and bumps on the heads. The Duke and the Therapeutic Cat are getting along fine. We had our concerns. Witness the bites on our hands. Zoe Brooklyn is still the love of my life which may cause a problem for the new #2 and #3. I may not be high on their list – I’ll have to check that out. Continue to remember you all and your families.
Hang in there and enjoy every minute of every day – and thanks again for your continued feedback.
