A Perfect Gift

I received a gift from my friend Diane in Sheridan, WY

on Monday

It is WAY me.. and I can't believe how sweet she is to me

God has blessed her with gift of caring!!!

And He blessed me too sending her.

I love the book and the THOUGHT~~~~~

I'll be alone for the next couple of days..Rich is working out

of town..so this book can keep me good company. We might

even get rain tomorrow. We sure could use it.

What's new in your life?? are you making things?? Decorating??

I love to decorate with nature..so pick up acorns, pine cones..hope to

find some bittersweet.. and dry my hydrangeas.

I got two birdnests..Robins nested in my friends hanging basket

and she gave me TWO nests. I have some handmade eggs I am

going to put in them.

Feeling better each day as the steroids dose goes down

You are such a dear. I've been reading Hollyhock Days and find it enchanting. I needed a pick me up and your gift did that. It's cool on the deck and just nice to sit and read about gardens. I am so blessed. Thank you Diane for always being kind and caring fondly, your friend **

Blue Bird Box

This is the photo I got just as the ladder collasped when I was

trying to see baby Blue Birds..

I landed on my back on top of the fallen ladder. No more

climbing for me now.

I'm doing well, the steroids are making me dry as sand

but they are helping the swelling.

I go for another MRI in a month to see if it worked on the

tumors!!

Pray it did.

and thank you ALL for being so supportive. It helps so much

to get sweet notes..cards..comments.

Bit of Autumn , A Few Prims in a Colonial Home

I added a bit of Autumn to our home last week.

Just thought I'd share. I didn't do much..but it does add a nice restful

background with great smells (Autumn from Bath & Body Works)

Today is Good

Hello all my dear angels. Today is a gorgeous day

outside and I feel good.

Last night my head was really hurting, but much

better today.

Here's a picture from today , not so bad.

Bruising is not too bad.

Thanks for all your support and prayers. God is Great

Fondly,

Back Home

I'm here ..in decent shape.

I'll be resting for a couple days.

I hope I don't get swelling.

Gamma Knife Surgery - from the patient's perspective

Monday AM ..5:45

Rich will be with me.

One last try before invasive Brain Surgery

Thanks for praying it does the job this time.

I am NOT afraid.. but I don't need four more

holes in my head.!! LOL

My Latest MRI

I had an MRI last Monday..I got called yesterday to come consult with my

neurosurgeon.

Doctor said this (we were there for 2 1/2 hours.) Rich was suppose to

work out of town, but he stayed here and took me to see my doctor.

Dr. Kloppenstein

I had 3 options. ( the tumors are the original set) only 3 of the five. I have had

3 different batches of tumors..over the last two years

They have gone thru gamma and whole brain but they ARE growing again.

My Options

Do nothing..just watch them and reduce brain swelling with steriods. Just putting off

further treatment that will be needed.

Treat again with Gamma Knife..could work..may not..but if it doesn't we are

back at option 3.

Brain surgery.. 3 separate areas of the brain..one is somewhat deep..

all will be drilled..cut out ..sewed up..then on to the next tumor

all done in one day.

in the hospital for 5?? days then home with steroids to reduce

brain swelling and hopefully off steroids in a matter of weeks.

I have another MRI tomorrow AM..it's called functional MRI

and Gamma Knife this coming Monday. All the doctors discussed

my case and they all agreed. we can try gamma again..but surgery

may be imminent.

I'll be glad to get this resolved. I'm tired of whining about it.

LOL

I love Owls

Aren't Owls just awesome?? Love them

Another MRI on Tuesday AM..I'm sure it will be the same

Tumors no bigger, no smaller.

I love summer tomatoes!!! YUMMMMMM

I could eat them for lunch and dinner.

We have some growing but not ripe yet.
