Cleaning Day

The time has come for a cleaning day. I have gotten so bad at this. I wish I could just hire somebody because using my umph for cleaning leaves nothing for anything else in the day! But there is nothing fun on the calendar for today. It just says CLEAN.

I will head up to the hospital to visit my friend Jan Faler. She had an abdominal CT yesterday and has been running fever for several days. There is infection somewhere that has not yet been found. So she needs prayer.

Had a great Bible study yesterday. We have our teeth sunk in to the Book of Revelation, although for this study, we are often referring back to other places in the Bible for information that supports what is in this book. Very enlightening so far. I like my new group a lot. All ages, young mothers, elderly gals, and a few in between. Makes for great conversation. As we left yesterday, one of the younger gals said to me, "I always learn something from you." She was in my group last year too, so I am trying to figure out what she has learned from me??? Well anyway, God uses us and we don't even know it.

Chris, Maria, and Makenna will be in the air tonight, so we will pray for safe travel. I drive to Maria's folks' house Friday morning to pick him up. Maria and Makenna will stay in St. Louis for a day with her family and drive up Saturday. Chris is planning to play golf with his high school friends when he gets here Friday, then the rehearsal dinner for Ike's wedding Friday night. I will have Carrie's gang Saturday for lunch so the kids can have some time together. Hmm. I think I will wait to clean until AFTER the weekend! Yeh. That makes more sense. :o) Well I am looking forward to getting my hands on that Phoenix baby doll.

Yesterday I got my angry scar shot up with a steroid medication. The dermatologist also told me about a scar treatment in the form of a patch that might help. They are called silicone scar sheets. If the inflammation doesn't lessen, I will get another treatment of steroid injections in a month. I will also continue the acupuncture in the area. The dermatologist says doctors have no idea what causes this to happen, while the acupuncurist says there is a blockage that is not allowing the tissue to drain properly, thereby creating the inflammation. All I know is my left chest always hurts from this angry scar, and until I get this cleared up, I will not be free and clear of the entire cancer experience. And that's what I want. No more evidence! That's my only complaint today.
