A DAY AT SMITH MT. LAKE

Well, actually it was less than 2 hours. But we had a good time. Only took us from Sunday until Wednesday to make it there. And it is only about 15 miles from our house..SWEEETTT
Here are a few pictures... for more visit snapfish. As you can tell there are quite a few VERY expensive houses on this lake.Tough job, but someone has to do it!!!

OUT WITH THE OLD....

IN WITH THE NEW.....

SMITH MOUNTAIN LAKE TIME

Aaron and his boat made it to VIRGINIA!! Looks like we might have some days at Smith Mountain Lake
Donnie will be playing golf at one of the courses this Friday. It is an AEP outing.

WE PAUSE TO REMEMBER

ANOTHER STEP

I went back to my surgeon today. She said all looked good! I go back in six months and then I will probably be turned loose if my endocrinologist agrees. YEAAAAAA She said my neck muscles are still very tight on both sides...I am thinking massages..LOL

If I go to the beach or am going to be out in the sun, she recommends wearing a scarf. I might be the new Katherine Hepburn!! My aunt had asked me if I was going to be wearing scarves..well, looks like I might! HA HA HA!!

PERSON OF THE WEEK...BERT BRADY

Why do we not see more stories like this on the news! Instead we see Hillary taking shots in a local bar!!

Don 't forget to turn off/pause the playlist and the bottom of the blog.

A SPECIAL LITTLE GIRL

This little girl is Libby Jamison. She is the granddaughter of a former co-worker of Donnie's at AEP. He and Donnie worked for a long time together in Roanoke. Steve and Brenda have been friends of ours for a long while. Please take the time to read the Caring Bridge pages and put her and her family on your prayer list.

GOD IS SO GOOD

I went to my endocrinologist today. He had the report from my body scan last week and all was clear. It showed a large amount of uptake in the thyroid area...this is a good thing.. as well as physiologic uptake in the salivary glands, this is normal. There is NO evidence of cervical abnormality. No extra cervical disease is seen the the chest, abdomen or pelvis. This proves that there is no cancer cells floating around in the body!! Thank you God.

I graduated from my therapy sessions this week too. I still have some numbness on the left side of my face, neck and head, including my ear. Everyone believes in time it will all return. I have NO appoinments this week!! I can hardly believe it.

I will return to my endocrinologist in one month to check my thyroid levels. He said I hadn't been on the medicine long enough to see alot of change. But I do see change in my energy levels. I don't know if it is because once the treatment was over I felt like a cloud was lifted or if the meds are kicking in...probably both!!
