    Praying here Meece and many of our friends are praying for you also!  We serve a great and mighty God! 

    In my reading yesterday just for you:

    Psalms 55:18  He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

    There are MANY with YOU!

    well, the mammo and u.s. are complete. lot's of waiting and then aditional views. the head radiologist came in and talked to me. she wants to consult some others to make a decision. if bx is warranted it will be mri guided at a later date. the lump is not as large. things are looking up.

    I didn't even tear up. Joni. you'd have been proud.

    (((((((((((Meece)))))))))))))))

    Thanks so much for coming in right away with the update.

    One step at a time, sister. One step at a time.

    Showing up ain't so easy.

    The other day going thru airport security I found myself on the verge of tears as I'm telling the TSA what to expect seeing my x-rays. They were both woman & absolutely kind AND professional. It caught me by surprise that I would get so emotional.

    Then for the next 10 minutes or so I had some talking with myslef about the 'loss' of this disease that rears it's head at unusual times & places. I've gotten used to thinking of myself as 'normal' (yeah, I know hahahahahahahahaha) and then to feel the need to announce my 'deformity' made me realize I'm just held together with velcro and a smile. Quite literally.

    I guess all I'm saying, is let yourself cry if the tears present themselves.

    Lots of love in the midst of it all.

    xx00xx00xx00xx

    P.S. It was hilarious to do the writing in the sand yesterday. I was laughing so hard...... the 'beach' area was all of about 18 inches wide. Tide craziness.

    Anyhow, I'd get Mee written and a wave would come up & wash it away. Then I'd move down the beach a tad and get the Me written and another wave. This went on & on & on. My dear husband was quite entertained.

    To get the word garden, I can't tell you how many attempts were necessary. I'm quite sure that those in their beach chairs were quite amused. LOL.

    I kept telling myself that's the way of our Creator..... we get all worked up and then we are washed with a wave of his love and mercy.

    End of story.

    I entertained myself........... so glad that you appreciate the finished product. LOL.

    Several times I got the word written and it washed away before I got the picture snapped.

    Funny.

    Mercy and compassion.

    ***Barbe, that's when I decided to go generic, with the 'Garden" and not do any more names....... you'll just have to believe me that you're all a part of the garden of my heart.

    Oh Faith, I know I'm part of the Garden! Cool But I know someday, someone, somewhere, somehow, will write my name in the sand. It might have to be me!!!!

    I would have loved to have been able to watch you like a water bird scurrying along the wave line writing in the sand. I bet you got a lot of people wondering what you were trying to dig out as you dug into the sand with your stick! ehehehehehehehe

    Barbe, I don't think the appointments started until 11 our time, so she's probably just getting done & then has to head home!  As soon as you can, Meece, as soon as you can!

    That first message was from my new "smart phone"  uh yeah right.  I want a common sense phone, it would be easier to use.  I got a whole message ready to post and boom, it was gone, never to be thought of again, because once I write it, I can't remember what I wrote if it disappears.

    Thank you all for being there with me today.  I know it was the knowledge that you were with me, and God was upholding me, that got me through without a tear.  Barbe, thank you for being proud of me.  i only mentioned Joni, because she called the other night and I had a mini-melt down.  Luckily I knew it was coming and was able to leave the room where DH was before it hit.

    I am going with the thought that this is all going to disappear, although I fought with the notion that I wished it would need a bx, so I could get a clear cut answer instead of we wiill watch it every six months (Which was the other option given to mme today.)

    Thank you all for your support.  By the way, did you notice how small and crowded those rooms seems with all of us in there?

    Faithie, I was going to ask you for pointers on sand writing for my trip to Hawaii next week.  I guess what I have gleened from your remarks is "never give up", be fast on your feet, and faster with your stick.  Oh, and laugh like nobody's watching!

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR WRITING/PHOTO-ING WORDS IN THE SAND:  

    1. A good stick is important.... get that first before finding the right sand.

    2. While a stick is important, the sand itself is critical (obviously)..... ideally I think you need some sand that is compacted sufficiently to 'hold' the word you're writing, Too sloppy, the word won't hold, too dry the word won't hold

    3. My favorite photos have a little indication of the wave.... any numb-skull can go to a playground and write in the sand, (duh) getting the wave in the frame shows the fluidity of the effort -- it's also more like the Olympics

    4. Believe it or not, there's a lot of learning about how to take the shot itself..... straight down doesn't always 'show' the depth/dimension. Ya need to be at a slight angle to be able to 'read' the word in the photo..... (made that mistake frequently in the beginning)

    So having never been in Hawaii, I would only extrapolate that ya look for a lovely long/broad stretch of sand, where the waves are lapping up gently and predictably

    It's funny. Yesterday, my hubby found me the stick as we walked down the boardwalk toward the shore.... he knows how important this is to me.

    In a brilliant world I would write a list of words pre-beach excursion..... once I get there, my brain nearly goes to mush over the excitement of the sand between my toes.

    This was a very spur-of-the-moment outting.

    I've got some delightful kites-in-the-sky shots that I need to get transferred. FUN!!!

    The Radiologist Dr. called awhile ago.  She asked me for some time (until next Monday) so she can confer with the Radiologist who read my MRI.  That person is out of town at a conference.  But it was nice that she called and told me.  Now I know not to bug anyone until next week.

    I remembered the ultrasound pictures of the grandbabies here. This is an unltrasound of a dear little heffalump. (he won't grow up to sit on anyone, I promise).

    Have sweet dreams, ladies. God bless you all. Good night.

    (((((Meece))))) I feel the way you do, I would opt for the bx just to get an answer.  I have a nodule and calcifications in my right tata and they are pretty sure it's B9 but that's always in the back of my mind.

    Faith~I can picture you right now fighting with the tide, LOL.

    Thank you, Valjean.

    Love the heffalump, Deb.  No, Woosels though?

    Baby Boo is now half way here and as of yesterday is about 14cm crown to rump. I think that is a bit small, but may be wrong.  But of course I heard it from Dad to Be, so he could have messed up.  At least he didn't tell me that was total length!

    Thank you.  Just finished talking to Matt.  We will see the cardiologist together on Monday morning.  There is a possiblity the procedure will not be able to be done due to an enlarged aorta.  They won't know until they are in there.  Praying for the best decisions.

    You know, it doesn't, but I haven't cried since Monday!  I think that's pretty darn good. Matt's phone stopped working, and because it is a Japanese carrier phone, he won't be able to get it replaced until he gets back there.  Now our only communication is by email or when he calls by payphone.
