Just got back from Abby's birthday party at the Hong Kong Buffet.   That was fun.    Timothy and Amber were here with Augie,  so all three of Bart and Barb's grandchildren, my great grandchildren were there.  

Am very tired.    Was pretty busy today around the house.   I am trying to eat more but it is not easy.  I seem to be doing OK again.   It is hard to eat when one is not hungry and one's stomach hurts.  I am sure the latter is the radiation.

Well, I got a couple of pictured posted.   Now I need to work on getting groupings.   And it is still such a chore.   I MISS PICASA.  

Radiation this morning.  Now I get two days off.   Stopped to see Bart on my way home.  He looks really good for all the work they did on him.  Now he needs to heal.

The rest of the day was reasonably quiet.   Next week is very busy, as is the weekend.  Tomorrow is my Great Grandaughter, Abby's birthday.   Will be going to her party.   She is quite a girl.    Tim and his family will be here also so I will see all of my grand and great grandchildren from Barbara this weekend.   Yea.

Have a great weekend.

Suzi and Me at the Roman Baths with Cesar himself!!!!

The Roman Baths in Bath England

The surgery took longer than expected, BUT was a success.   They put in two screws and did the necessary repairs.

Bart and Barb are on their way home.

Thanks for the prayers and keep good thoughts as they wend their way home.

Two very busy days.  

Yesterday, I had my radiation followed by a consultation with Dr. Smith, my radiation doctor.   I was able to clarify some questions that I have had about the treatments and the effects.   Apparently, the fact that my tummy is sore often is a result of these treatments.   All I can do is treat the effects with Tums and Pepcid.

I did join my Bible study group for the first time in three months.  Sure glad to be back with that group of people.    They are part of the prayers that have been keeping me afloat.


Bart and Barb went to the city yesterday for his preop.  He went into surgery shortly after lunch today.   Haven't heard what happened as of yet.   They were hoping to be able to scope the repairs which would make it much less invasive.

Nicky and I spent last night at their house so the critters would not be alone.    I went over again about 10:30AM to let them out again.   If I don't hear before my garage door repairman (who is supposed to be here between 4PM and 5PM and it is that now) is done, I will go and let them out again.

Today, I had radiation this morning, took care of critters, then at 2PM went to the new Irish Pub called Shamrocks for the Irish club meeting.    We had a great group of 9 including two new people.   Wow.   We discussed Halloween.   I brought my usual carved rutabaga Jack O Lantern.   

The weeks are getting so busy.   Tomorrow I just have the radiation treatment so intend to start sending pictures of Wales and England.   I have instructions from Leslie and she will be available for help if I get stuck.

Glad to be home!

water wheel

Water Wheel test
This is the water wheel (A device that keeps water out of mines) in Caernarfon Wales at the slate mine.    This is no longer a working mine, but is open as a tourist attraction.    We saw demonstrations of the slate cutting.   WOW.

This is a very large wheel.   I have also seen the Laxey Wheel on the Isle of Mann.,   The Laxey Wheel also known as Lady Isabella is the largest working wheel in the world.

Too much today.

Had radiation at 9:30AM.    Easy enough.   Came home to meet Kerry to let her in to clean the house.

Then at about noon, I went for lab tests at the Cancer Center and a consultation with Dr. Aye.  She answered several questions that I had and gave me a couple of prescriptions.     I took them to Walgreens and they said they would be ready by 3PM.

So I drove to Bart and Barb's to let the dogs out as the kids were in OK City to consult about Bart's shoulder.    (All went well there.   He will probably have the surgery within the week.   He sounds very optimistic.)      

Then things went wrong.   When I got to Walgreens, I found that one of the prescriptions had been issued in someone else's name!!!!   So I had to take it back to the Center and get a corrected one.   By the time I got through with all this mess, it was almost 5PM.    Poor little old me did not even get a nap today.   

I saw the Goodyear Blimp in the sky today.   Tomorrow I am going for a close up look with my neighbor, Lee.   How nice of him to ask me.     The Blimp is visiting the Goodyear Plant here in Lawton.

My creative juices are starting to move.  I have been doing a bit of sewing on a wall hanging and decorated for Halloween.

Have a great evening

It was a good day.

I went to Mass this morning for the first time in over a month.   I can't tell you how much I missed it.  

The Knights of Columbus were having a pancake breakfast.   Guess who went and saw a lot of friends and got caught up.    Now I will be able to go every week.

The rest of the day was quiet.  I got calls from friends and was feeling a bit creative, so things are improving.
