I See Light

I have sent an application to Dr Truitt in Nuevo Laredo to see about getting care from him.

I decided today to cancel the oral surgery until I see if this might be an option for treatment. I have very good feelings about this and trust that God is working it all out.

Oral Surgery

Just got home from Dr Theriot and I will have oral surgery on Friday morning to remove 3 wisdom teeth. Fun stuff!

Healthy Teeth

I went to visit Dr Baines today and he gave me a clean bill of health with my teeth. No cavities. Tomorrow morning I am going to see an oral surgeon about my wisdom teeth to see if they want to remove them before chemo/rad. They said it would be harder to remove them later and I don't totally understand why and hope to learn tomorrow.

Alex and I went out to eat tonight with Dante and I got stuffed...

Are You Juicing?

I had a great smoothie this morning before breakfast. I had bought some romaine lettuce last week and had not had a chance to make a salad yet with it. So I put it in the juicer with some organic carrots and a tomato and it came out very tasty. My body really agrees with it too as I am drinking it. I think it just knows that it is the good stuff and part of my healing. Last night I had a salty snack and it did not go over quite as well.

Off to see the dentist today and see what they have to say about my teeth.

Throwdown!

Had another great wedding Sunday at Green Pastures tonight! The place was rocking. Having dad with me has been wonderful and I've really enjoyed our time together. I almost have him fully trained as far as hooking up the gear, running a computer, well that's another story. Special thanks again to Tanya for making it all smooth.

Weekend

I did a wedding last night for Joni & David and it was great to be working again and also to drive too! Dad and I had a great time out at Kindred Oaks in Georgetown. What a beautiful place they have. Donna and Elaine were very helpful doing whatever it took to make sure the evening flowed smoothly. The Arundel Ensemble performed in the ceremony and were excellent too. It's so great to keep making more new friends with the work I have been chosen to do.

I went by Alex's graduation party afterwards and got to see my baby and a bunch of her friends and family. Special thanks to her mother Melissa who put it all together.

Next Step / Alex Graduates

Yesterday was a big day!

Went to see Dr Doner at ADC. He is a medical oncologist and was to have been administering chemo for me. He said he couldn't do anything for me since I don't have insurance. So I will be talking to the folks at Shivers in Austin and also MD Anderson in Houston to see if they can help me.

Last night Alexandra graduated from Anderson and the ceremony was held at the Erwin Center. I'm so proud of her for making it through. My mom and dad were there and also Alex's mom and other members of our family. It was quite beautiful.
