Feeling Great!

Well, I am happy to report that for the last 2 weeks my ostomy hasn't given me any trouble. I'm feeling more confident that it will hold...moving around more freely, and sleeping better.
I've been graced with great company, last nite Phil and I went through pictures for the family tree and the movie he is putting together. Friday evening, Jimbo, Ann and her sister Wendy brought me dinner. I think Wendy actually bought it. But anyway Famous Daves was great. Thursday Janet came to put my garbage out... and we made spagetti. She changed her mind about 3 or 4 times as the week went on and weather reports called for snow on Thursday, but no snow appeared, so she felt obligated to my son to come and put out my garbage as she had promised him the week before. Today I had Jimbo come and fix a leaky toilet. So I still am a little needy, but really I am doing so much more for myself. There are just a few things I can't manage and wheelding a wrench under the toilet tank is one of them. I do appreciate all the help and meals I've recieved and hope soon I can return the favor for those who have done so.

Today I got a phone call from cousin Diane....so nice to hear from her....although Cancer and Chemo are Hell she sounds very strong and ready to fight to the finish. Please keep her in your prayers too!

I'm looking forward to Thursday and my big retirement party at the College and points beyond. Hope to see many of you there. Love ya all, m
