Palma de Mallorca or Colonoscopy


First off, the colonoscopy was negative, no polyps, no colon cancer.  So now we wait again for the meeting with the oncologist tomorrow and the liver biopsy on Wednesday. Stopped at the cancer library at the hospital to pick up some more books. There is always more to read.

Had a good day on Sunday--carved a pumpkin which you may have seen on Facebook, discovered a new lake in Woodbury which was a perfect place to walk.  Our friend Deb joined us and told us about her planned trip to Alaska, doing it now, while she can--good advice to everyone.

The other day I told Sue that I would need to become an extrovert to get through this, I've got my part covered but need all the people I can muster to stand in it with me.  One aspect of that is asking for help.  At the hospital this morning I figured out what I could ask for, when I cross your mind give a thumbs up, a smile, a kiss blown to the universe, or whatever sign you have for saying hello to the universe and asking for/being grateful for good things. And yes, your continued prayers.  A few folks have sent pictures, mostly my relatives kids, but I'm always up for a great picture of something that makes you smile.  Many of you have had your own journey with cancer, I am now, belatedly even more understanding and send you extra love, a thumbs up and a smile.

Mundane things are on the list for today, get gas, fix a remote control, put sheets on the bed, maybe grocery shop or at least plan some healthy meals from my new eating plan, pay the bills.  It is
good to keep going.

Here are two pictures, one of me and my cousin's granddaughter and the other an oldie but goodie Sue and her Facebook buddies Liz and Libby were having fun with old pictures of me.  Circa 1980.
