I Come to the Garden...

Just out of the blue this morning I started singing it.  i haven't heard it in dyears, so I looked in my hymnal and it wasn't there, which means I probably sang it in the 80's.  I am glad you enjoyed it.

Don't let that get too bad.  It can be pretty rough if you do.  I ate prunes every day to help.

I take a RX, because my body never did recover in that area.

Thank you Mum.

Beautiful, Theresa!

Thank you.

I thought I would share the cake that they gave to DH yesterday on his last day before he starts his new position.

Althought the "Congratulations?" was sort of joking, the prayers wasn't.  It isthe type of support he will miss in the new position.

Yes that was from work. He works for the largest high school district in ca. He is going over to a department that has had a lot of issues and cleaned house this year. He will be working directly under someone who might get cut.

The people he worked with are believers and aren't offended by faith references.

Well the saga continues and I am frustrated.

* This bx was not like the stereotactic like last time. It was MRI guided so no mammo squishing as last time. Whew!

* They did the first diagnostic MRI and decided NOT to do the bx. It seems that the area in question has reverted to how it looked in Sept 09 when they performed the last bx. Whew!
* The nurse who started my IV was able to make it in one stick, smoothly getting it in with absolutely not pain or discomfort. Double WHew!

* So now I have to have another diagnostic MRI in July. Not-Whew!
* There is a new spot of interest in the 4:00 position. Not-Whew!
* They will/can not biopsy that site because it is too close to the implant. Not-Whew!
* Although I am not menopausal, I had a medical procedure to stop my periods five years ago so I do not know where in my hormonal cycle I am and the MRI should be 10 days post period, so it is not going to be easy to compare the MRIs for the same "time of the month". Not Whew!

* The radiation damage to the other breast makes comparing breast changes in the other one impossible. Not-Whew!

So although the news is tenatively good (The abnomality is not as bad as it was) it is still in the abnormal range as it was 18 months ago, I am facing a third MRI in a six month period, and more waiting!I also get to be concerned about another area showing up.

I feel like the boy who cried wolf. Thank you all for your love and concern and for being with me during the whole thing. I thought of as many of you as my spinning mind could as I was in the machine, it really helped take my mind off things. You are special women!!!

I miss you too, Titan.  Very good to see you. 

CHURCH IN THE WILDWOOD

There's a church in the valley by the wildwood
No lovelier spot in the dale
No place is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

How sweet on a clear Sabbath morning
To listen to the clear ringing bells
Its tones so sweetly are calling
Oh come to the church in the vale

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

There, close by the church in the valley
Lies one that I loved so well
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, 'neath the willow
Disturb not her rest in the vale

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale

There, close by the side of that loved one
'Neath the tree where the wild flowers bloom
When farewell hymns shall be chanted
I shall rest by her side in the tomb

(Oh, come, come, come, come)

Come to the church by the wildwood
Oh, come to the church in the vale
No spot is so dear to my childhood
As the little brown church in the vale
