Well, it was a sad day yesterday. The non-hired help (my MOM) went back home yesterday. She has been such a huge help for me these last few weeks, and very patient with all my silly demands. I'm doing so much better plus she had some appointments of her own she has to go to that she decided it was time. Thanks Mom!! I love you to pieces!
Rick mentioned we went for a walk around the block on Sunday. I also went with my Mom on Monday around the block. Tuesday I had 2 doctor appts in the morning and did some walking with that. I enjoyed a visit from my friend Sandra in the afternoon, sitting outside on the front porch. In the evening some other friends called and asked if the could stop in, they were only a minute and a half away. So another great visit with great friends! I feel truly blessed.
The first doctor appt was with my oncologist at the clinic. He said the pathology report from the surgery was good. They got all the cancer so I don't need more chemo!!! Wooo hoooo yay God! I don't go back to the oncologist till Sept and he'll schedule a CT Scan for August.
The 2nd appt was with the surgeon. He said I'm getting better (I know :) I'm still jaundiced so he scheduled an ultra sound of the abdomen and bile duct to rule out anything there. My bilirubin count is going down so this is good! I also had blood work done on Tuesday but don't know those #'s yet.
Yesterday was another great day and I had a wonderful visit with my friend Vicky and we got to sit outside on the porch too. I am so loving this weather.
Today was my ultrasound and I had to eat a fat-free diet yesterday and then nothing to eat or drink after midnight. The ultrasound was 2:15 in the afternoon so I was getting pretty hungry and oh so very thirsty. I took orange juice and a banana along for right after. The ultrasound was a little painful pushing on my abdomen area where just over a month ago I had this kind of large surgery and every night I still get my Innohep shot (blood thinner - yup got another small blood clot after surgery in my calf area of the leg). But for the most it wasn't too bad. When it was all finished and I was changed again I started drinking and really enjoying that oj, ate the banana in the car and Becca drove us to A&W. There we each enjoyed a large frosty mug of cold root beer - yummmy! Tonight I think they're having "Cruisin' the Dub" (classic vintage cars) so I think Rick may want some root beer tonight :)

Judi and Rick, it's an awful shock to go from wondering if you guys will drop in this Christmas to having Dean forward your link and spending hours catching up on what you've been going through. Happy 25th anniversary and may God bless you guys with many, many more. I am in shock that we had no idea, but I've been praying for you since this afternoon and I will continue to pray. Thank you for this blog and thank you for your love and testimony shining through. Judi, I am running in a cancer fundraising run on Saturday and I will write your name on my race bib. Love, Marlene
Hi Judi,
I haven't checked in for awhile so I was surprised at the progress you are making. There must be a lot of people praying for you. Our God is an awesome God!
You and your family are always in my prayers.
Wishing all of you peace.
Love,
Jane
