Bless you all for taking the time to write me here and in the PMs I am so happy to sit and read all the well wishes and prayer requests. It’s very heartwarming.

Cindy, yes, I’ve definitely had more than my share of health issues, DH and I both have these past few years. I’m so blessed to have such a wonderful man that takes such good care of me. I’m just able to start helping around the house a bit, and now this! Geesh can’t win for losing some days! hahahaha

As for my positive attitude, I always like to hope I portray a good one, no matter what I am going thru. If the Lord can only help me keep that good attitude, I’ll endure whatever he sends my way, knowing that everything is for a purpose and is a part of a bigger picture, and that He will provide for me no matter what, I can survive.

I went thru an experience a few years ago, some of you may have seen the ugly pics, and for that one, all I prayed was that he keep it from my face, and let me see someone benefit from my experience. Everyday my husband and I kept a positive attitude (course, some of that was easy with good drugs in my veins!) but much was my own. And at the end of the hospital stay, one nurse, that had come in everyday with a problem attitude about something, came to us and said how much she admired us, and that it had opened her to the possibilities of looking more to the Lord for support and guidance. Now THAT is an answer to prayer! Oh, and He didn’t let any of the problem touch my face either

I am normally by nature a worrier, but being able to talk to so many of you and focus on conversations and other possibilities, has been very good, and I’m amazingly calm about this (for me that is You’ve all been very good for my spirits and my attitude. I can’t believe how well I’m doing. You don’t know what a naysayer and pessimist I can be in times like this! I always see the glass as half empty.

My answer is always, that if I expect the worst, then I’ll be able to jump for joy, when I get a better answer. But, if I plan for the middle or better, then get less than positive, I’ll be more disappointed. Hubby never thinks that’s a good answer. My first daughter-in-law is exactly the same as me! DS always laughs when she and I have the same opinions about things, and this type of attitude is one of them. I was just talking to him on the phone last night, and we were both telling him that very thing at the same time. He said if we talked any more simultaneously it would be perfect stereo! hahahahaha

Les, the results are supposed to be on the 3rd business day, but they said since my test was after 1:30, it would likely be four, making it Friday, but possibly not until Monday. So, hopefully by Monday afternoon, I’ll be able to post the results.

Thanks again, everybody for being here and thinking of me!

Oh, and one more thing! I can’t believe I didn’t think to ask for this at the same time!!! My daughter just had a cervical biopsy today!!! Man, it just doesn’t quit around here sometimes!!! She is the mother of this beautiful, bright-eyed darling in my siggy line. While my sons are my rocks, two of my greatest friends, my daughter is the joy of my life and that of all three of the men in our family. She is more special than normal to us. And I am ashamed to have put my own fears for myself ahead of hers! Wow, I can’t believe I let that out of my mind for so many hours!

Please keep my daughter in your prayers, even before myself. I know she would love to have another child, but if this does not have a good return, it could be her only one.
