Jimbo is on his way to pick me up, and it looks like I'll make my 1 p.m. play at the Plymouth Playhouse. The doctor came in this morning after having yet another x-ray and said everything looked great and I was free to leave. But you know how these things work!....first they have to write up the orders, and then I have to get Jimbo or someone to pick me up (luckily Jimbo can come) then they have to get rid of the access line to my port....they stopped the fluids at that point....and then the doctor suggested I get some toast to make sure things were setting okay, and I did and they are!...so here I sit dressed and ready for them to let me out of this place....it feels like prison today, as I have a date that I don't want to break.
A small other problem that I'm having is the lack of my allergy medicine has made a mess of my eyes, and the chemo or targeted drug has caused all my skin to be dry as parchment, and my cheeks look like a racoon only in red instead of black. I'll have to put on a lot of lotion and some concealer before the play.
One of my spot removers, is having colon cancer surgery as I write this.....so please keep him in your prayers today too. Haven't heard a word from Aunt Loretta, I'm hoping no news is good news, and still waiting for news on cousin Ed's biopsy. All the other news has been good, so the prayers are working. Also yesterday three different people from the chaplains office came to see me. Not normal that three would come....just God making sure the job got done. The first couple offered me communion....which I wasn't allowed (but I did get this morning)....the second was just a chaplain in training, and the third was a priest who's prarish is this hospital, and he actually anointed me with the sacrament of the sick....when he was done....he said I was as good as gold! So I think that really did the trick. Judy brought me flowers and a butterfly on Monday night, so I think those spots are flying away like good butterflies and I may need some more chemo....but all is on the make! Love and prayers, m
