I've had a wonderful week. Myrtle Beach was fantastic, the weather, the accommodations in a fabulous spacious timeshare, the food, and especially the wonderful women I traveled with.
We rode a 20 story Ferris wheel, walked and shopped the Boardwalk, saw a great show at the Carolina Opry, spent a day in Historic Charleston, and a day on a Casino boat that took us 5 miles out into the ocean and let us gamble and eat a great buffet. (and a couple of us won too!)
The week flew by, and the sunshine did wonders for my soul. The only bad part of the week was, the news about Lois's daughter. On Friday and Saturday nights, Sharon her husband Bill and Lois's grandson TJ had stayed with us at the timeshare, on their way back to Connecticut from their timeshare in Florida. Sharon stayed in bed most of the weekend, thinking she had a Kidney stone and a prolapsed Uterus and after being to urgent care twice in the previous week. She was taking strong doses of pain killers and slept most of the time. So when they left on Sunday morning, they were driving 14 hours straight through to home, and on Monday morning Bill took her to the ER, and after a CTscan gave them the bad news that they thought it was ovarian cancer that had already metastasized to the kidney and lungs. They then transferred her to the Women's and Infants Hospital about an hour away....I can't remember which town....but they have doctors who specialize in this kind of stuff. They did more tests and a biopsy (waiting for the results on that) but so far have decided it was not operable and are waiting for the results on the biopsy to determine what kind of cancer it is, and where to go from here. It could be cervical, uterine, or ovarian. The first day she was in ER her blood was so low, they had to give her a transfusion, and with that and the other things they have done, she is doing pretty well considering. Lois has gotten to talk with her each day, and most of the family has done that as well. Being in Connecticut and most of the family in MN or near by in WI is hard. I continue to ask for your prayers for Sharon and all the family worried about her.
I also need prayers for Lottie who is having high amounts of anxiety with her chemo, and Sonja with the decisions she needs to make about her treatment, as well as all the others I have on my list.
A big thank you for all the prayers that made my trip so fantastic, and the relief I've had from most all my back pains. I've stopped taking all the drugs for it!! I'm sure the Qigong has helped in a big way in that matter, and I thank you for letting Sheila and the Qigong work so well on me.
Well, I guess that is enough for today....bring on the Sun!! Love and prayers, m
