Busy Week Ahead

I am not really sure if this week could really be classified as a continuation with my war on cancer or not but since I have not been given the green light , so to speak, from my Oncologist and he is keeping a very close watch on what is happening to me, I guess I'll just continue to write everything here. One day, perhaps, I will be able to write in a survivor's log.

This week is going to be very busy for me! I love it when I can stay busy but enjoy it most when the focus is on someone else or some other thing than me.
With Brian's help, I finished putting up the grape juice. I picked the grapes and Brian helped me to wash, sort, and pull the stems from them. Late last night I finally pulled the jars from the water bath. Except for labeling the jars and putting them away, the grape harvest is officially over!
Today is church! A day of rest! I visit with my Dad on Sunday afternoons. I enjoy my time with him and draw a lot of comfort from being near him. I am going to miss him tremendously when his time is done upon this earth. He is 93 now and time is taking its toll on him. This week I will talk to his doctor about some tests that were done last week. I have been going to his doctor's appointments with him for 11 years. We've been through alot together.
I am not looking forward to the rest of this week!
Thursday I have my pre- op appointment with Dr. Strei. On Friday, I go down to Minneapolis to the wound ostomy clinic. I pray that I will not have to have a colostomy or an ileostomy but there is that possibility and so they are going to prepare me for that possibility.

On Saturday I have a Stake women's conference in St. Cloud. Our focus is on service and I believe this is the time when we will be putting together the Hygiene kits that will be sent out to the church's humanitarian aide distribution site in Salt Lake City. Our goal was 1200 kits! I hope we will make it! That will be a good way to end this week! I look forward to that event.
