Frozen Sunday...not because it's cold outside, but because I'm feeling frozen today; shut down. I guess I'm pretty good at that, eh? It sure seems that way. Aside from visiting my dad, and folding and hanging up a bunch of laundry, I didn't get much done today.
David has been spending a lot of time knitting. It's calming for him. The kids are doing their things...Kirstin arrived home from camp on Thursday and has worked every day since then. Tomorrow she's leaving for the cities with Steve for four days. Ben is (hopefully?) getting his room cleaned up, Chelsea's in the living room on a laptop, and Becca will be home tomorrow from a four-day camping trip with her friend. I have an appointment with my surgeon tomorrow down in Two Harbors at 10:30, so the two little girls will be home. Chelsea knows to go over to Grandma's house if she needs anything, and to send Becca over there, too, when she gets home. I guess they're going to do some cooking and/or baking, which Chelsea loves.
I went to church last night which was really nice and a little bit strange. Strange in that my name was in the church bulletin under Prayers. After mass, my cousins Tom and Bozena stopped to talk, and then we all walked out to our cars together. Both had wonderful words of hope and encouragement. Before I got in my van, Tom gave me a hug; a nice brotherly hug. (How wonderful is that?!) Bozena told me she has a good feeling about my situation, and evidently, her good feelings are rarely, if ever, wrong. Cool beans, eh? :-) I have such an amazing family. If I have one regreat about this whole thing, it's that the diagnosis came on my brother's birthday. Maybe I'm in denial about the rest; who knows?
David's family has been calling, which is very much appreciated. His parents call nearly every day, Shari called yesterday, I think? Annette sent a very nice card, and today, David's other two sisters called. It was very nice to talk to them. Kimmie seemed to understand that there was only so much to talk about re. my cancer, and so we talked about other things, too. It was great to catch up. Becky...Becky is very lovable, caring, and concerned. She seemed really happy that Kirstin and Steve will be visting the cities and staying with her for a few days (Thank you, Becky!). I smile whenever I think about Becky.
I guess I'll leave things here, for now. Tomorrow...the big day. We will know what happens next, and when. If anyone actually reads this blog, and doesn't see a new post for a few days...it's probably because I'm unable to post.
Blessings!

Deanna, It sounds like your hanging in there. Even if your family isn't completely. I can just imagine what goes through little heads. Best of luck to you at your doctor visit. Lets hope they say it is very fixable. Hope they can get in there and remove it and you will be good as new. Have you talked to Pete Moore yet? Let us know how it goes tomorrow, love ya, Kim
Dee, I've just recently started following your blog. Good luck with the big day and look forward to reading more.
