Catchin Up

Monday - March 30th

It's the end of March already. Yesterday was a warm, sunny Spring day. Lauril got this photo of a visitor to our hummingbird feeder.

Saturday was the annual sheep shearing at our neighbors. Forty six sheep got undressed just in time for wind and rain. Fortunately they had some cover to get under. I went over for a couple of hours to 'supervise'. Lauril had recruited 17 of her buds to help out! I think the main attraction was great food, but they also seemed to have fun wrastlin the sheep.

I'm feeling pretty well these past few days. I went for a walk of about a mile yesterday. It's amazing how quickly I've lost muscle tone and stamina, but I'll get it back.

Wednesday, it's back to Virginia Mason to get tubes out and learn more about living with 'neo'. It should just be a quick overnighter and I'll be home on Thursday.

I can't tell you how fortunate I feel to have caught this cancer early enough to have a successful outcome. Also, the level of medical care has been outstanding. But what will leave a lasting impression on me is the concern and support we've received from all of you!!

As my recovery progresses I'll probably have fewer blog entries. I'll let you know when I get to the last one.
