Feeling Better

I felt better after the CT scan. I don't know why but I did. The radiologist didn't seem to think it was much of anything but I'm going to see what my oncologist, Dr. Dang, says in two days. I'm glad I'm not worrying over it anymore. Whatever happens, I"ll be able to handle it.

I found this in the June V.T. report. "...You were taught and prepared for the circumstances you would personally encounter in mortality. ...Your memory of premortal life would be kept from you to assure that it would be a valid test, but there would be guidance given to show you how to live. Our Father's plan for salvation in this life with the opportunity of returning to Him would be called the gospel of Jesus Christ." ("Truth Restored," Liahona and Ensign, Nov. 2005, 78-79)
That guidance is what makes me know that I can handle all things that come my way.

Gloom, Despair And Agony On Me

Now that the x-ray showed a nodule on one of my lungs and from what I've read, it's probably cancer again, my life is on hold. On hold until I get the CT scan. On hold until I find out the results of the test. I had a blessing today and was blessed with health so maybe the nodule will be gone. Hope so. Another episode of cancer wouldn't be fun.

I had 4 children in my class today. It went fine. I just need to have more "things" to do after the lesson is over. Seems like I had 30 minutes left after the lesson was over. We did the coloring pages and then I read them stories out of the Friend. I think it would go better if I knew the story well enough to tell most of it. I can't read for a long time and the kids get restless if the story is too long. I had one of the children's mother in with me today. She is a Primary worker, but is expecting a baby in two weeks so doesn't have a class of her own right now. Karen said she would help me get some games.

First Saturday in June

Our temperature gauge said it was 100 degrees today! I only got into the car to go get the mail and the car is always hot. I talked to Mary Kate, who was working on mulching her new swing set (wooden), and she said it was hot in LaGrange, GA. I was surprised when I looked at the temperature and it was 100 degrees! I heard on the news that the whole southeast was hot. I guess "they" will blame it on global warming.

I didn't get going until 11:00 this morning and then I didn't want to get up. I changed my sheets and then got Frank's lunch. I've finished reading and paper clipping all of the Friend magazines I have. I subscribed to the Friend and was told I would get the June issue. It's funny ( not literally) how at different stages of your life, you need different things. I have really enjoyed reading all of the Friends. Teaching the young children makes me emphasize the basics of the Gospel ( I don't know if I should have capitalized the"g" or not...). It's making my testimony grow and I'm enjoying that. I get the impression I should enjoy my class and not worry about it. As long as I have enough things to do in class, I should be okay! I have plenty of stories to read in class and they seem to like hearing a story.

Another Saturday

Lovely Day

I got up early enough to go to the Wellness Ctr. annex but as I moved around, I decided my knees weren't up to walking an extra mile today so I bought groceries instead. I had talked to Dad about going to East Limestone and he agreed it was okay, so I will eventually go there. I'll call you Sandy and come by for a visit, if that's okay when I do come to the annex.

I almost bought two nice twin air mattresses today. As I got to the check out line, I noticed that I needed a special pump that didn't come with them, so I set them down and didn't buy them. I'll go another time and get the mattresses and the pump. I got my anniversary ring back from the Wal-mart jewelry place and decided to wear it only on special occasions since the diamells keep falling out! You get what you pay for. The air mattresses are for Frankie's kids to sleep on when they come to visit or for anyone that wants to sleep on them!
